From palpable down-ballot energy to pro-Palestine protests to a memorable Tony Evers speech to the Milwaukee of it all, here's what happened on June 8 and 9 at Potawatomi Casino Hotel.
I was all in as a delegate from Rock County CD1 to several DPW state conventions. My first vote for Mandela Barnes was in his quest for state party leadership. The politics got to me, and I stopped being active in the local party in 2022, but this newsletter made me a little wistful for nerding out at a convention. Ben Wikler really is a great leader for the state party, and I love listening to Gov Evers.
Those protestors in point 4 aren't Democrats, they're far-end-of-the-horseshoe attention-seeking accelerationist nuts. If they didn't have Gaza they'd just find something else to be mad about; that way they can keep telling the internet they're withholding their votes because they like getting the reality-based community all in a panic. Screw 'em. If you told me they were Russian disinformation plants I'd be more likely to believe that than the idea that they're progressives.
I am going to absolutely disagree with this. We are parents, healthcare workers, union members, educators, and a growing contingent of people in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and the country.
Sure you are. In any case, doesn't mean it's worth engaging with you politically. This is a nation of laws; if you aren't willing to operate within that system then you are useless to everyone, so the people who are trying to actually get problems solved know to exclude you.

Although I will agree that the vast majority of us are not Democrats.
