Smells like Teen Democracy

Middle-class Americans don’t have a lot of government programs directed at helping them. So it’s not surprising that one criticism of student loan forgiveness by Biden two months before an election is catching on: that it feels like the government is trying to buy votes. Only in an electorate accustomed to getting nothing back from its political class would such a statement resonate as well as this one.

Brainwashed

I spent two weeks in Russia and was greeted with nothing but friendly hospitality. But Americans refuse to accept that. Psychological projection? Or propaganda?

Either Way, Guys Lose

New York City congressional candidate Carolyn Maloney is running a gender-based campaign arguing that she will always put women first. What are male voters supposed to think about that?

Ideological Consistency Is so Boring

Liberal-leaning media outlets love Republican turncoats like Liz Cheney. They will lionize them to the end while ignoring lifelong loyal liberal Democrats.

Voter Suppression? You’re Soaking in It

Democrats rightly criticize Republicans for efforts to suppress the Democratic vote. But both parties suppress third parties like the Greens and Libertarians. If you doubt that, look for the third parties next time you cast a ballot. Any country with just two parties can’t reasonably call itself a democracy.

Who Can Tell the Difference?

Democrats complain, correctly, that Republicans are trying to subvert democracy with voter suppression and other tactics. But what democracy are they trying to subvert? Both parties are far more similar than anyone would like to admit, meaning that there isn’t really a true choice at the ballot box in the first place.

We Are All Connected

Ecocide is everywhere you look. Even if you’re a big fan of nature, watching beautiful animals on television on television shows that encourage conservation contributes to killing those animals and, eventually, ourselves.

Kamala Harris: Human Repellent

Kamala Harris has consistently suffered from very low approval and likability ratings since becoming vice president after her very lackluster primary campaign. Whether her ability to connect with voters was hampered by Biden’s unwillingness to give her something important to do or not, the fact is, people just don’t like her.Kamala Harris has consistently suffered from very low approval and likability ratings since becoming vice president after her very lackluster primary campaign.
