Trump won the highest share of non-white electorate vote of any Republican in 60 years, while moderate Democrats lost support and seats. Despite Joe Biden’s expected narrow win, Democrats face a disconcerting problem from declining minority and Latino support that can only be regained through the proven-effective economic populism of the likes of Bernie Sanders….
After vowing to go to Supreme Court over ‘fraud’ and refusing to commit to conceding to election results for months, the rapidly sinking Titanic of a Trump campaign announced legal action in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania after today’s counted ballots are securing a Joe Biden win. Belligerent Trump supporters barged into Detroit’s Central Counting Board…
A staggering 233 election cases are pending in federal courts facing off over voting rights during an election in a pandemic. Voter suppression rulings are already underway. Recently, a 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reinstated Texas’ process for tossing absentee ballots over mismatched signatures, determining that the right to vote by mail is not…
Can electoralism ever produce a transfer of power to the working-class in a two-party system, or are corrupt political parties that will never allow change into power, elections dominated by corporate interests, and voter suppression the problems? According to the theory of democratization, the wealthy autocrat class only willingly surrenders power in times of extreme…
Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders’ surging lead in the polls, leading donations with a record 4 million small donors, and majority-support for his policies across demographics make it clear he’s not only the true populist in the race, but the most electable once-in-a-lifetime candidate. Faux-populism won in 2016, and centrism’s failure made it clear that ‘any…
Faux-populism may have won in 2016, but American voters approve of Bernie Sanders real populism: 58% of non-white voters, 73% of African Americans, 68% of Hispanics, 56% of women, and 62% of 18-34-year-olds. These are your ‘Bernie Bros’ media.
“Being president doesn’t change who you are. It reveals who you are.” As if it was possible to hit a new low, Donald Trump has managed it with a series of brazenly racist comments bypassing previous dog-whistles. In a meeting this past Thursday, as confirmed by Sen. Durbin and Sen. Graham, he expressed the desire…
Trump offers a defense of white supremacists which injured nineteen and killed Heather Hayes at Charlottesville: “What about the alt-left that came charging at us?” The events in Charlottesville undeniably solidified what some knew and many denied – racism, moreover, nazi ideology is alive and well in America and President Trump was the awakening force….
The democratic party has been completely decimated. Democrats have moved too far right and suffered tremendous losses because of it. Sixty-nine, House seats gone, 13 Senate seats gone, and a White House gone. Nine-hundred-and-ten seats total gone under 8 years of a Democrat-controlled White House, handing over complete legislative power to the Tsar in chief….
A number of 670 worldwide protests is not normal the day after a United States President takes office. It’s not normal for over 3 million people – many women – to feel an impending threat looming over their civil rights, looming over their democracy, that they’re compelled to go organize in crowds of hundreds of…
It was the perfect end to a surreal, phenomenal 8 years. Maybe one of the greatest speeches delivered in the last few thirty years. Embodying the values he carried so fervently behind every decision, Obama delivered the very message which he never strayed from; genuine, passionate, moving and most importantly hopeful. Hopeful in the face…
“The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy.” – Donald J. Trump. Truer words have never been spoken by Trump. If you thought the 2000 Al Gore loss was unfair, well wait ‘till you hear how much our losing 2016 candidate won the popular by – 2.9 million votes. In fact, with our current…
America you’ve been conned. Not just by any con-man, a con-man-in-chief. Not only won’t he deliver on his promises but the blueprint he’s laid out, shows that he’ll actively work against you. Did a cheeto-toned face come to mind? Sadly, your working class hero is an unhinged fraud, but you will be an architect of…
After last night’s devastating results, half of America was left shaken to it’s core – media and politicians included, while the other half celebrated the nomination of Donald Trump as our 45th president. The electoral college created to protect us from a demagogue failed us. Hillary didn’t just lose, civil rights lost, civil liberties lost,…
A textbook narcissist, a blatant racist, a hate mongrel, a conman, and a misogynist with fascist tendencies – words I would’ve never in my life used to describe a republican nominee or past republican president. They’re words millions of people have readily adopted into their conversation as soon as there’s a mention of him. Attitudes…
