Wearing pussy hats. Just pointless bourgeois liberal feel-good politics.Harumph.



While Hansen’s campaign was focused on local issues, she saw a huge swell of support after nationwide Women’s March protests on Jan. 21. Protesters, many of them out in the streets for the first time, have been turning their energy toward local and state politics. The first major election since the uprising was Delaware’s.

they should really be paying attention to this. This is what is going to happen to them all if they do not listen to the people demanding town hall meetings, wanting to speak to them in their offices, and writing/calling/faxing their offices. The result of this election is something they cannot lay at the feet of paid operatives. They should take heed that this may be the end if they keep dismissing voters and trying to marginalize them.
