As a concerned voter, I cannot help but feel a sense of unease after the first presidential debate between Biden and Trump. The polls, while they may show some support for Biden in swing states like Michigan and Wisconsin, do not paint a clear picture of the true dynamics at play. Biden’s modest support seems to be more of a vote against Trump rather than a strong endorsement of his own candidacy.
When I see the current polling numbers, I can’t help but wonder how someone who was once polling at a significant advantage could now be sitting at a deficit.… Continue reading
Why aren’t we talking about Trump’s fascism? It’s a question that seems to hang in the air, lingering without a clear answer. But perhaps the more pressing question should be, why isn’t the media talking about it? The truth is, the media has a crucial role in shaping public discourse and awareness, yet it seems to be failing in bringing Trump’s authoritarian tendencies to the forefront.
As someone who has been following the political landscape closely, it’s disheartening to see how the media has steered the conversation away from the looming threat of Trump’s fascism. Instead of focusing on the alarming signs of authoritarianism, the news cycle is inundated with sensationalized stories that do little to address the underlying issue at hand.… Continue reading
The recent uproar over Trump denying any knowledge of Project 2025 is a familiar tune that we have heard over and over again. The receipts are there, showing connections between Trump and the very project he claims to know nothing about. It’s astonishing how easily he can lie, contradict himself, and still expect the American people to believe him.
When I think back to Trump’s presidency, the sheer number of falsehoods he spewed on a daily basis is mind-boggling. From his promises of the largest deportation operation in history to pushing for the death penalty for human traffickers, the laundry list of extreme and dangerous policies he advocated for is alarming.… Continue reading
I can’t help but feel incredibly frustrated and disappointed after hearing Joe Biden’s response about being at peace if he loses to Trump, as long as he gave it his all. It’s not about personal satisfaction or feeling content with effort when the stakes are so high for millions of Americans and people all over the world. The idea that he can simply walk away with a clear conscience, leaving the outcome to unfold as it may, is deeply troubling.
The hubris displayed in this response is truly astonishing. It seems as though Biden is disconnected from the reality of the situation and the gravity of the potential consequences of another Trump presidency.… Continue reading
I can’t ignore the fact that Biden himself acknowledged that he “screwed up” during the recent debate. Admitting a mistake takes courage, and I believe that shows a level of humility that is essential in a leader. However, his statement about learning from his father to get back up after being knocked down is admirable, but it also raises questions about what concrete steps he plans to take moving forward. Simply stating that “we’re gonna win this election” is not enough. We, the voters, need a clear plan of action.
It’s disheartening to see how the debate performance potentially swayed undecided voters towards Trump, indicating a lack of effectiveness in Biden’s communication.… Continue reading
Joe Biden, beloved by some and criticized by others, has been the subject of intense speculation and rumor as of late. The news that he reportedly told an ally that he is weighing whether to continue in the race has sparked a firestorm of opinions and discussions across the political spectrum. Some are quick to jump to conclusions and assume the worst, while others are more measured in their response.
As a concerned citizen, I have been closely following the developments surrounding Biden and his potential decision to continue or step down from the race. The fact that there are conflicting reports, with some sources denying the claims, only adds to the confusion and uncertainty surrounding the situation.… Continue reading
The recent poll suggesting that Michelle Obama would beat Trump by 11 points is certainly an interesting topic of discussion. While she has repeatedly stated that she has no intention of running for office, the idea of her potentially entering the presidential race sparks intrigue and debate among voters and political enthusiasts alike.
Considering her popularity and track record as the former First Lady, the notion of Michelle Obama running for president may seem appealing to many. She is known for her charisma, intelligence, and strong moral character, which could serve as a stark contrast to the current political climate and rhetoric.… Continue reading
I refuse to concede the future of our democracy to Donald Trump. It’s a frightening thought that if Trump wins another term, he will continue to surround himself with loyalist rubber-stampers, erasing any semblance of checks and balances or accountability. The Mark Espers of the world, those who could potentially refuse to carry out his worst impulses, will be nowhere to be found in a second Trump administration. Project 2025, with its database of Trump loyalists who prioritize him over the rule of law and the Constitution, paints a bleak picture of what lies ahead if we allow this to continue.… Continue reading
As tensions between Ukraine and Russia escalate, the world is waiting for a plan to end the conflict that has plagued the region for far too long. However, with President Trump in the mix, the prospect of a coherent and beneficial plan seems bleak. Over and over, we’ve heard promises of grand plans – plans that never materialize, plans that serve the interests of those in power rather than the innocent victims caught in the crossfire.
It’s no secret that Trump’s approach to foreign policy has been dubious at best. From cozying up to dictators to disregarding the plight of allies, his actions do not instill confidence in his ability to mediate a peaceful resolution in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.… Continue reading
When I read about the allegations made by the ex-Trump staffer regarding the campaign settling seedy suits in a bombshell filing, my first reaction was disbelief. How can it be possible that such serious accusations keep surfacing, yet nothing seems to stick to Trump and his cohorts? It makes me wonder about the state of morality and accountability in our political landscape.
The fact that these settlements are made using funds from MAGA donors is truly appalling. Republicans love to preach about family values and God, yet they are willing to finance rape settlement suits without blinking an eye. It’s a disturbing symbiotic relationship where conservatives are essentially enabling and condoning such reprehensible behavior by their continued support.… Continue reading
