Don’t Talk to Me About Nina Turner’s Commitment to “Progressive” Policies

The Democratic Party is on life support and ‘we the people’ need to pull the plug

Ah, hello? We Don’t Need Donald Trump to Make Us a Fascist State.

The Good. The Bad. And the Ugly.

It’s Officially “A Sigh of Relief”

The Big-Ass Elephant in the Room
Can you guess what the big-ass elephant in the room is this election cycle? If you guessed climate change, you guessed right. It never made it as a debate topic because both sides agreed not to bring it up. In… Read More ›
