Politics does not dictate our collective cultural mindset as much as it simply reflects it; We've got to look in the mirror sometimes, and we've got one.
Are Labour set for victory in 2024?
Boris Johnson began the year from a position of seemingly unassailable strength. His party had just secured an 80-seat majority in the December general election, the largest majority his party has won since 1987. The Labour Party had just suffered its fourth consecutive loss, and its worst since 1935. They were in the midst of what could have been a bitter leadership election and were 20% behind the Conservatives in the polls. Yet, several months later, and the two parties are neck-and-neck in the polls, and the new Labour leader, Sir Keir Starmer, is positively being compared to Tony Blair, the most successful Labour leader in the parties history.

Reading is fundamental and Americans need to be reading everything they can and gain a detailed understanding of truths about those we elect to public office. Journalists should be fair and balanced and not biased in what they write. I voted early this year and I am already working on a plan that will make a difference beyond my vote. I have determined to write credible articles that inform the reader factually about what is going on in the nation. I will give accurate information about voting rights, political candidates, and incumbents year-round. This includes local, state, and national governments.

I've seen a lot of disparaging remarks from both sides of the political platform, and it's really started to wear at my soul! I've seen remarks wishing the President would die of Covid-19, or that at least that he would get really sick, when the news came out that he contracted the virus. I saw posts in social media celebrating the fact that this man was sick, and people posting endless memes mocking the man! It bothered me a lot, but the more I thought about it, I realized I was being a hypocrite.

Devlin Bronte Rachele Bedford, Pennsylvania Saturday, October 10, 2020 Dear Evan, Voltaire gave advice of the importance of defining terms. So, let’s do that. Knowing everyone paid close attention to economics in school I thought it would be appropriate to start things off with a quick review.

Devlin Bronte Rachele Bedford, Pennsylvania Saturday, October 3, 2020 Dear Evan, In your last letter you had asked me if I thought Biden or Trump would be the better choice for America. You asked which had the better idea, which could lead America to a place of greatness. You also asked which one’s plans would create a situation of long lasting greatness for our nation. Unfortunately I can’t give you a simple answer. Just to say this man or that man has the better idea would be meaningless to the point of impotency. These are serious times and we need the best answers we can find. The best answer I can give is one which will shed a light on our situation and truly help you to understand it as well as the solution to our nation’s ails. I feel it would be better to break it down into parts. Once you have all the parts you will be able to put it all together and fully understand my answer to your question.

Many Americans on Tuesday, after months of being clogged by the COVID-19, tired after a long summer of rapidly spreading wildfires and social equality protests, enduring mass joblessness, and becoming very pessimistic about government from long stretches of toxic political talk turned people turned TVs on to hear what the two men competing for the country's most noteworthy office had to say for themselves.

If 2020 were a book it would be the Necronomicon. H.P. Lovecraft created a universe where Humans are irrelevant to the Great Old Ones and those who exist between the dimensions. We have plausible candidates for the Idiot God Azathoth and the endlessly baying gods who surround him. We have a candidate for Nyarlathotep the crawling chaos radiating contempt for his masters while pouring chaos into the void and we have the backbench unionist shoggoths. To them humans are as irrelevant as the law.

As someone who has more or less always identified as someone firmly on the left side of the political aisle, it has become clear to me since 2016 that an emboldened and distinctly naive group of leftists have allowed themselves to become Trump's metaphorical key to the White House doors. Youtube's leftist firebrands like Jimmy Dore, Kyle Kulinski and Krystal Ball have all wittingly (no, I don't mean unwittingly) paved the way for a President Trump presidency.

Photo by Bill Smith It’s getting very close to election day and some local kids are decidedly not among the undecided. “Hillary Clinton is running against “wrong” Donald Trump,” jibed Melissa. But they don’t see it in all rights like their elders.

On November 6, 1928, the United States held its presidential elections in which the Republican Herbert Hoover Roosevelt defeated the Democrat Alfred E. Smith by a margin of 2.5 million votes. Citing his reputation as a strong executive and humanitarian, Hoover gave only eight campaign speeches while riding the wave of Republican economic prosperity.
Something ComplicatedPublished 4 years ago in The SwampAre We Seeing the End of Democracy?
I have said since 2016...since the election results were confirmed...Trump will not leave power quietly! Many over the years have told me that my "hate" for our President comes from the media telling me what to think. I don't need the media to convince me that this man should have never been elected to the highest office in the nation. I've been here for a while, and I have a really good memory. Before social media...before the vast internet.
