Once again, we democrats are, as the legendary sportscaster said, “snatching defeat from the jaws of victory”- The republicans are a bankrupt dumpster fire on a runaway train that should fall off the political landscape on Election Day if not sooner, ‘cept we democrats can’t get organized enough to defeat them.
In my previous post I was about ready to find better uses for my trailer and summer, but some kindly democrats convinced me to hang in there and do a few more parades, offering a couple more candidate signs to decorate said trailer with. Still not enough, so I had to cancel tomorrows parade with few complaints heard ’cause most of our too few volunteers couldn’t make it anyway.
Then this morning I get the latest e-missive from one our Minnesota Democratic Farmer-Labor (DFL) Party’s fine caucuses that they’re coming out here to politic at our rural pride celebration, despite the organizer’s request which we local democrats are honoring to keep partisan politics out. Now I’m a long member of this fine GLBT and any other letters you care to add caucus and used to do rural prides for them, and quit doing them partly because they usually didn’t coordinate with the local Democratic Party units and came off as the invading woke political missionaries from the metro there to civilize the rural folk.
So let me get this right, DFL… After e-mailing all four statewide campaigns requesting signs for a parade float I get no answer. But one of your caucuses has the funding and arrogance to come out here and hijack our pride event without even contacting our local Democratic Party unit? And they wonder why us rural democrats are disappearing…
