Progressive Political News

Should you decide to torture yourself and delve into political social media, you will be met with two warring liberal factions - Loyal Democrats and Progressives. Much of the debate between the two factions surrounds Bernie Sanders, with 8% of registered Democrats claiming to actively dislike the Vermont Senator. This 8% are extremely vocal on social media and you are able to find them sharing their disagreement with Bernie Sanders in replies to anything he posts, even if his post isn't anything that these people disagree with, it all apparently goes back to how evil Bernie Sanders is. With the current sexual assault allegations surrounding prominent American political figures such as Al Franken, Donald Trump, John Conyers and Roy Moore, every single allegation has to be taken seriously and investigated thoroughly as powerful men shouldn't be able to get away ruining a woman's life in order to assert their self-perceived dominance. The current frenzy of allegations ha...

Democrat Doug Jones recently emerged victorious in the tightly contested Alabama Senate race just a few short days ago, a race in which Roy Moore is still suggesting that a god-fearing man such himself couldn't have lost and is refusing to concede to Jones. Moore recently uploaded a video to YouTube, urging his supporters to keep the faith, claiming, "the battle rages on, in this race we have yet to receive the final count to include military and provisional ballots."  Moore continued to address his supporters, many of whom see the recent sexual assault allegations against minors as "liberal smears", while conservatives seem to believe that they've found all the evidence they need to cement this claim, with the apparent paper trail leading back to the "liberal media".  As Roy Moore continued his I'm-a-sore-loser speech, you are able to see the exact moment that he dons his tin foil hat as he lists off several accusations, "thi...

Pro-Trump website 'Conservative 101' had penned a particularly dreadful  article titled "Bernie Sanders Blames President Trump For White Nationalist Movement, Then He's Caught Doing...", and it is unfounded to say the very least. Hell, the writer couldn't even make the piece grammatically correct as one of the paragraph begins with the line, "despite how Bernie Sanders the mainstream media are portraying the situation", yes, that is a literal sentence in the article, told you that it's dreadful. Anyway, the article is based on the premise that because Bernie Sanders has the support of the progressive political action organisation 'Our Revolution' and because Our Revolution sent out an email referencing how Heather passed away and to essentially fight back against the rise of white nationalism that we are currently experiencing and the fact that they had a link at the bottom of the email to ask people for donations - which, you kno...

A twitter user, which Progressive Political News is now blocked by, recently made the assumption that a vast number of white nationalists support Bernie Sanders and that he is somehow accepting of their support in order to further his political ambitions of seemingly turning America into a Soviet-style socialist state - or just giving people health care in order to live, but you know, who needs political nuance in this day and age. Political Twitter is made up of several factions that spend most of each and every day screaming at each other about why they're right, most of the time without a single policy mentioned. The factions pretty much range from the "we even hate Bernie Sanders" Left-Wing, then to the "Democrats are the only hope we have! #Resistance" and you can even end up at the Alt-Right/White Nationalist part of Twitter if you're brave enough. There are also, of course, the Bernie Sanders supporters, Republicans and Libertarians sprinkled acro...

Televangelist Pat Robertson recently took a break from blaming natural disasters on gay people to attempt to comfort a Christian mother who wrote into Robertson's show, The 700 Club, to ask why God allowed her fifteen year old son to pass away in January 2017 and Pat decided to answer this question in his usual, horrific style. The mother, Cristina, wrote in to Robertson on the 700 club in order to get some answers as to why God would take her son away when they have been nothing faithful to "their Lord". Her question was this, " My fifteen year old son was killed January 26th, 2017. My question for you is: why does our Father allow us to go through this pain and torment? As a mom, I do everything in my power to protect my kids from this. What is the point? I am confused and angry. Please help me understand. I have been faithful to the Lord alone, so why?" We here at Progressive Political News want to send Cristina our best wishes and we hope that she is a...

Should you decide to torture yourself and type "magapill.com" into your chosen browser, you will be met with a long list of sitting President Donald Trump's so-called 'accomplishments'. The right-wing site has several different sections, from Trump's accomplishments to news on the current President and some opinion articles that will most definitely cause you to lose the majority of your brain cells. The site mainly focuses on Trump's economic accomplishments even though the current President has only been in office for little over a year, meaning that his proposals wouldn't of had enough time to take an effect on such a large economy, as well as the upward trends in things such as the Stock Market, private sector jobs and the federal deficit - which Republicans LOVE to complain about - was cut roughly three-quarters from what is was when George Bush left office, are mostly thanks to Barack Obama. Let's go through the list of Donald Trump Ac...

So, as it turns out, even Donald Trump's very own pollster has confirmed what progressives have been saying for over a year now: Bernie Would Have Won. This seemingly obvious statement has been disreputed by two groups of political loyalists - Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton supporters. Trump's supporters, who view Donald as some sort of God who has never put a foot wrong, find it laughable that a 'communist' Independent politician could defeat their dear leader. As for people who would bow down at the feet of Hillary Clinton - you'll be able to find them by the use of their #StillWithHer Twitter hashtag - prefer to use the rather childish defence of "WE WON! YOU LOST!"(although Hillary has now lost twice during a major election) in order to suggest Sanders would have suffered the same fate as Clinton during the 2016 General Election. The pollster in question, Tony Fabrizio, made the claim while speaking at a Harvard University Institute of Politi...

Marco Rubio happens to be one of the more slimier, corporate Republicans, this is even after Trump fooled his voters with his "Drain The Swamp" falsehood. Pictured above, you are able to see Rubio adopting the usual Republican position when it comes to making sure people have health care, as they all hear the words "government-run" and shudder at the fact this will annoy their private industry donors, Mr. Rubio is clearly no different. Time for a quick debunking of Rubio's right-wing talking points. Firstly, the current cost of implementing the Affordable Care Act is $49 TRILLION over the next 10 years, with a Bernie Sanders style Single Payer system costing $17 Trillion LESS. So we're saving money by having a government-run system. Don't believe it? Allow sitting US Representative Ro Khanna to explain  here . A quick summary of the video could also be put into a few sentences: Khanna: Single-Payer will cost roughly $32T over the next ten years,...
