Why did Hillary lose? The anti-war vote
Submitted by gjohnsit on Wed, 07/05/2017 - 5:09pmWhy did Hillary lose the 2016 election? Misogyny? Jill Stein? Russia?
Or was it that voters in crucial swing states got weary of sending their children off to pointless wars?
A new study says the latter.
Tuesday's big election
Submitted by gjohnsit on Fri, 06/09/2017 - 3:43pmThe Democratic primary for Virginia in a few days is the last big election until November. (Unlike the GOS, I don't consider the Georgia election to be significant.)
France threatens criminal charges against media.
Submitted by Not Henry Kissinger on Sat, 05/06/2017 - 1:56pmFrench media have been warned not to publish content from any emails allegedly hacked from presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron's campaign team, to prevent the outcome of the vote being influenced.
It comes after Mr Macron's team said it has been the target of a "massive and coordinated" hacking attack ahead of Sunday's presidential runoff.
France's presidential election commission also said it could be criminal offence to republish any campaign data.
French law is by no mean absolutist when it comes to protecting free speech, but this appears to be a much bigger step in the wrong direction. Even so, I can't help thinking that all this government attention shone on the Macron leaks is self defeating.
French election might be a lot closer than the polls show
Submitted by gjohnsit on Tue, 05/02/2017 - 6:58pmEmmanuel 'The Neoliberal Banker' Macron has it in the bag.
He's so far ahead of the right-wing Marine Le Pen that there is no hope that she'll catch up.
The DemocRATic party 2016-2017; a Pictorial History
Submitted by Alligator Ed on Mon, 05/01/2017 - 11:52pmI have been at a loss for words in reviewing the tumultuous times of 2016 and 2017 regarding Hillary Clinton, her loyalists, the DNC, and other stuff. Since a picture is worth a thousand words I have condensed a 6000 word essay into 6 pictures. I hope to have captured the spirit of the slimes times. Now, as you know, the main culprit star of the whole sequence of events is no other than Killary Klinton, aka Mad Bomber, etc.
A communist shakes up the French election
Submitted by gjohnsit on Mon, 04/10/2017 - 1:04pmUntil recently the talk in France's presidential election was all about either Le Pen's bigotry or Fillon's corruption, and the only alternative was the quasi-neoliberal centrist Macron.
But now someone else has surged into contention - Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
Class and the White Trash Revolution (WTR)
Submitted by Sunspots on Tue, 03/07/2017 - 1:09pmMiddle- and upper-class America are desperately fighting the WTR, just as they have historically always fought off White Trash demands for justice and fairness. And it is true that there is no guarantee at this date that the WTR will not descend into fascism. Certainly, many of the same xenophobic and fascist elements are similar to the 1930s.
Russian Code

Barack: who is stupider, the American people or you?
Submitted by Alligator Ed on Tue, 12/27/2016 - 3:46amIn the race to the bottom of the most awful presidential election in U.S. history, one of the most potent reasons for losing the White House, as noted by Jazzenterprises, was Killary's loss in part due to running as Obama 2.0.
