You Can’t Become Popular Because You’re Not Popular Yet
•
In presidential politics, candidates with low poll numbers don’t receive media coverage or an invitation to debates because of their supposedly low odds.

Just another reason you keep seeing the same old faces year after year.

It’s hard to argue that American democracy is alive and well. Which box will you choose?

20 Years to Life—in the White House

Ukraine’s Narrative Is Beginning to Crack
•
Politicians and media supporters of Ukraine have repeatedly dismissed reports of Ukrainian troops wearing Nazi insignia and monuments to Nazi collaborator Stefan Bandera as Russian propaganda.
