Michigan Democratic Party State Convention - February 11, 2017

Do not fret if you were not able, or willing, to attend the Michigan Democratic Party State Convention to elect party leadership because I have brought to you, via, your favorite hand held device, a synoptic overview of why Democratic leadership, not just across the state, but across the nation, just does not get it.

The 13th Congressional District completely ignoring the Dean of the U.S. House of Representatives for the sole purposes of showboating to get some free campaign time in front of the entire district.

Here we have the traditional chaos of groups fighting to keep power and money within their own constituencies after the gerrymandering of the congressional district.

It must be noted that we left about 5 minutes into the meeting due to cacophony of audible hallucinations of religious locutions of the "The Elected Ones" leadership entitlement syndrome.

There was no mention of plans for health care, education, child poverty, or public corruption.

Sander Levin:  There was no mention of plans for health care, education, child poverty, or public corruption.

Debbie Dingell tossed a great "word salad" using DNC failed talking points, again.  Please note her comments at the Labor Caucus on Japan, right in front of representatives from Toyota.

There was no mention of plans for health care, education, child poverty, or public corruption.

Gretchen Whitmer:  There was no mention of plans for health care, education, child poverty, or public corruption.

Dan Kildee:  There was no mention of plans for health care, education, child poverty, or public corruption.

I would love to request his working papers on the creation of Land Banks and why they are not regulated.

Gary Peters and Debbie Stabenow:  There was no mention of plans for health care, education, child poverty, or public corruption.

Stabenow did invite the public to follow Michigan Senate Democrats but the communication system is set up to be one-directional, a closed system devoid of public discussion.

And, of course, not to boast, but you know darn well I will not be invited to consult on setting up their newly desired, grassroots, social media, communication network.

Pshaw!  The thought of me and my hot boyfriend soiling their financial and political hegemonic establishment!  (improper grammar, intended).

The videos and pictures, below, are of the Michigan Progressive Democratic Caucus meeting earlier in the day.

I would say that this was the largest, collectively, congregation of participants.

What many people may not know is that the Progressive movement came out of Detroit in the trenches of labor.

Bob Alexander has dedicated much of his life to its work.  He was the one who personified "I love my ObamaCare".

It seems there was a growing chasm between the new Bernie movement and the old guards of Labor due to the lack of knowledge in the history of the Progressive movement.

Many, perhaps the majority of new Progressive members, are unable to name the founders of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.  (homework assignment)
