I’m kind of wondering if I need to place an “unclassified” sign around my neck, as the South Dakota Democrat Party seems awfully concerned about classifying everyone into groups, so they can designate their social worth and possibly give some special privileges based on which class they belong to.
Where is the South Dakota Antifa chapter caucus?
Indentity politics was suppose to be on the way out after the crushing defeat of 2016.
I’m a caucus, you’re a caucus. He’s a caucus, she’s a caucus. Wouldn’t you like to be a caucus too?
Actually, I prefer Mr. Pibb but it doesn’t have that jingle.
Aren’t there some folks left out of that list of caucuses?
Among the Left, identity politics is on the rise. Contrary to the move toward inclusion and inclusiveness in previous decades, we are being encouraged to eschew people-first language and, in its place, lead with our distinctiveness. Which can sound a lot like leading with our differences rather than with our commonalities. E Pluribus is fine, as long as we get to Unum.
No Men’s caucus?
No White caucus?
No Heterosexual caucus?
No American caucus?
So much for diversity.
I guess the diversity caucus includes all the above — ha!!
It would be fun to go and laugh.
We forgot the drug users caucus because they tell us there are no victims with the use of LSD, PCP, weed, crack, heroin, meth, opiods, ecstasy, magic mushrooms. As my friend Bob likes to say “people just want to feel good.”
Permanent victims of everything caucus
That is the New Approach caucus showing news ways for people to live and commit suicide
We might have a common friend Bob, sir, as I too have a very good friend named Bob who says things like that. My friend wears spiffy hats, though.
Won’t they be disappointed …showing up to caucus and all they see is a carcass of a former political party. 🙂
I’d like to attend the caucus for people who believe in judging people by the “content of their character.” Or maybe that’s the Republican caucus…
Exactly why Sutton, Herseth and Brendan Johnson are afraid to run for office in SD.
Sad.
Lederman should hold the SOUTH DAKOTA PROUD AMERICAN CAUCUS.
Steve, Springer, and most everyone else: you took the words right out of my mouth.
Here is what is really sad: They don’t even understand why/how we are making fun of them AND how average Dems are asking themselves “WTF?”
Troy that other blog is a prime example and just scares the heck out of reasonable Democrats and they have no clue and could care less what they are doing.
So, if attending the Senior Caucus I get to learn about the benefits of assisted suicide? Or how about at the Women’s Caucus, will I get to learn about abortion-on-demand? I can only imagine what the special guest speak has to say: You are all victims because white men are privileged. And Augustana is providing the venue for this event?
What would a “diversity caucus” be. Noah’s ark? But if you show up, and there’s one of you there already (heterosexual or right-handed or blonde) then you have to either pick a different diverse characteristic to represent – or leave, diverse or go home
Who thinks this up?
So if you take the Noah’s Ark approach you are ok so long as there is a pair (male and female) of heterosexual right-handed blondes, thus allowing that particular subset of the species to propagate (although the new Democratic party may not want too many of those)…but, if you are the third right-handed blonde heterosexual…well…
Let’s all spend the day breaking ourselves into special interest groups then get together at the end to celebrate diversity?
Only one caucus I’d be interested in.
That be lunch….
Charlie the lunch caucus is a little more complicated. You could get into trouble with the PETA vegan caucus that will cause havoc with livestock operations.
This is at Augie and no Norski Caucus?
At the end of the day, I just can’t stop shaking my head.
I kind of feel like batteries, I’m just ‘Not Included.’
Lol
If I were red head that is left handed but not a step child am I relegated to a minority or victims caucus even though I do not feel like a victim? Where would they put me?
You don’t get it do you. You get to identify as you feel today.
I’m thinking this November I might identify as Sioux so I can get a discounted reservation hunting license, a woman on ladies night at the bar. So, can I attend those caucus’ even though it is a future identity or do I have to identify that way now?
Charlie, I identify as a stale piece of white bread. Do you? Maybe we get Schoenbeck to be corned beef and we can get in the lunch caucus as a sandwich.
Troy the only thing us stale white slices have going for us today is Constitutional Mayo spread and Schoenbeck’s Horse Radish relish.
Stuck in the middle with you……….lol
There are so many active on SD GOP politics that fit in better with the Dems than Republicans. So many who simply left the SDDP to get elected.
In my opinion, they are ruining the GOP brand and Republicans will suffer from the backlash and be left to deal with the driving of the SD GOP to the left.
Stace will this be part of your announcement speech in running for Governor?
Where are all the democrat floaters on this site?
They aren’t defending this at all.
Ymous,
Your comment makes me contemplate some other things.
1) Man, I’d have loved to be in the room when someone suggested this as a “Good idea” and then hear the arguments.
2) Does anyone think the “special guest speaker” is really someone “special?” If the speaker was special, don’t you think they’d announce it to stimulate a crowd?
3) Is there a quorum for a “caucus” to do anything during the 1.5 hour scheduled time? Can the senior caucus talk about youth issues? Can a straight person talk during the LGBT caucus? Will the coffee be organic?
4) Since one of Hillary’s campaign tagline was “stronger together” (I know she switched a few times), is this an indication they are blaming Hillary for losing the election?
Pat will this be open to the press or super secret again?
Troy
I know a few democrats (they are endangered) that are well to do that refuse to waste money on this group of Bernie/Weiland goof balls. The inmates are literally running the democrat party. Johnson, Herseth and Huether switching parties speaks volumes as the democrat party goes farther and farther into the wilderness.
To switch gears slightly. Look at the terrorist bombing in England and what demographic and gender they targeted? Young females. Many young women’s voting patterns are putting politicians in power that support immigration policies that are allowing this mass migration from some of the most dangerous Muslim countries in the world. The anti-female agenda practiced by many Muslims and want of sharia law would set back women 2 generations. I fear it’s only a matter of time before its frequency increases here. I hope this is the wake up call.
The moderate Democrats such as myself are not even permitted to have a caucus and that guy at the hard left blog keeps changing what I say over there to fit his agenda.
Interesting that the Democrats forgot the Farmers Caucus. Remember when the Democrats cared about agriculture more than transgenders? This is not my parent’s Democrat party. This is some perverse idea of politics that was grown in a test tube somewhere in New York City.
