I say this jokingly but you gotta kind of scratch your head and wonder with all the numbers and decreases with the party. Also, the SDDP recruited a candidate for Minnehaha County Commission, but because of a screwup with sigs or something, they are running as an Indy (they are a really good candidate, just unfortunate they can’t run under a party banner).
I left the party shortly after 911, after Tom Daschle voted for authorization to go into Iraq. I said, ‘Once this party believes in diplomacy again, I will return.’ Guess what? Still an Indy.
There is a group of local rabble-rousers that lean ‘old-school left’ that have a little drinky party on Friday nights, I sometimes attend. The organizer sends out an email each week about the state of politics, mostly statewide and nationally and he always has an update of how many registered voters the party has lost over the past week in the state. Well, that inflamed one of the former party execs who decided to do a respond all to the group trying to downplay the disastrous leadership while NOT addressing the real problem, LOSING PARTY MEMBERS.
I won’t even say who this person is, they have already embarrassed themself enough.
They also email responses with fake names so they can troll a group that literally just drinks beer and Diet Coke and bitches about how big of babies the current SDDP is. That’s about all that is happening, but ironically, they probably accomplish more then the Exec Board of the SDDP. Maybe they should move the meeting to the Dox?
You can’t have a party with no party goers. Some in the SDDP don’t seem to understand that concept, or maybe they do, and that is why they are cashing checks from the SD GOP 🙂 because unless you are actually TRYING, it is hard to lose members that fast and frequent.
I think the SDDP has a traitor . . . will be interesting to see who it is.
