The idea that what USians need is political "unity" is a hustle. It's simply untrue, a lie. And "strength" is a problematic value for Democrats to espouse too.Saturday, September 14, 2019
The Problem with "Strength" & "Unity" as Values
Yesterday U.S. Rep. Lauren Underwood (Dem, IL-14) tweeted:

Mariyana Spyropoulos drops as Clerk of the Court candidate in March, 2020 primary
According to The Daily Line (Alex Nitkin) has quit her campaign for Cook County Clerk of the Court.
The filing deadline for the March 17, 2020 Democratic primary is December 2, 2019.
The incumbent is Clerk Dorothy Brown, who on August 14, 2019 announced she was not running for re-election. See ABC News (Will Jones).
Because Democrats win general elections in Cook County & Republicans lose, the next Clerk will be decided in the Democratic primary.
The other candidates recognized by the Chicago media as running are:
Cabonargi has been slated (endorsed) by the Cook County Democratic Party.
(1) Did not link to the website I believe is Cabonargi's campaign site because Firefox flagged it as a security threat.

Welcome to DPI Watch
There are a bunch of things happening internally to Democratic Party politics in Illinois and there is a lack of media coverage. This blog seeks to provide coverage that pulls back the curtain somewhat on the internal stuff within the party. It's also a vehicle for covering stuff that should be covered.
I do want to attract others to be part of this as contributors and editorial board members.
Right now this blog is a volunteer project. I'm open to monetizing it in the future, but right now, it's just people participating in the public discourse.
One of the things I want to do with this blog is to be clear what voice people are writing in. The categories I have so far:
Publisher is when the publisher of the blog (at this point, me, Carl Nyberg) is writing on matters that are written from the perspective of the publisher. They will be focused on the blog as a media outlet and a community.
Blogger/columnist is when someone is writing the blog equivalent of an op/ed. These pieces will include opinions, speculation and have a perspective. This is not a license to be inaccurate.
Activist is when someone is writing from the perspective of someone "in the game" of trying to advance some goal through action beyond opining.
Journalist is when someone is writing from the perspective of covering an event or stuff that has been researched. These pieces will have minimal opinion content in the blog entry.
Editorial board is when the editorial board of the blog has reached a conclusion on an issue and has decided to express itself in writing.
