Hillary Clinton Supporters Cannot Stop Comparing Her To Major Religious Figures

Hillary Clinton's most ardent supporters really are incredible, any political objection to Hillary is a result your deeply held misogyny, she was apparently "entitled" to each and every vote from those who described themselves as anything else but a Trump supporter, any legitimate criticism of her or her politics is the result of "Russian disinformation campaigns" and now Hillary is apparently of the same moral standing as notable religious figures.

One person, Sam, decided to place Hillary Clinton above Jesus due to some of the good work that her foundation has done, which is true, the foundation has done wonderful work such as allowing nine million people gain access to lower-cost AIDS medication. Credit where credit is due. But.. Jesus? Really, Sam?

Speaking of the Clinton Foundation and without going off into the weird land of right-wing conspiracies, investigations into the Foundation found what was essentially a pay-to-play racket in place. Mother Jones wrote an article detailing how during her time as Secretary of State in New York, Hillary Clinton oversaw weapons deals to several countries which had donated to her foundation, such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Algeria, UAE and Oman, all of which had dubious human rights records.

Speaking of Saudi Arabia in particular, a theocratic regime that labels atheists as terrorists and beheads people in the public square, donated $10M to the Clinton Foundation before she became Secretary of State, as well as defense contractors Boeing, who delivered the fighter jets to Saudi Arabia, donated $900,000 to the Clinton Foundation. There were also several other prominent defense contractors who donated to the foundation, such as Lockheed Martin, United Technologies, Honeywell and General Electric.

Tom Watson, one of Clinton's most vocal defenders, saw parallels between Hillary and Moses, and this is AFTER she lost an election she spent over a billion dollars on to a reality TV star, this tweet is almost too embarrassing to even comment on. If all of this Hillary worship is simply about the empowerment of women, I assume that people like Tom Watson, Peter Daou and Neera Tanden feel the exact same way about Jill Stein, Sarah Palin, Carly Fiorina, Geraldine Ferraro, Cynthia McKinney and the many women who have ran for lesser-known parties such as the World Workers Party? No, of course not, because they're political hacks.

This also ties in to what was mentioned above, Jill Stein has won two national nominations to be the leader of the US Green Party, whereas Hillary failed in 2008 and lost the easiest possible election in 2016, so following this partisan hack logic, surely if we're going to erect statues and create museum exhibits of the most prominent woman nominee, they should be of Jill instead of Hill?


Look at these two images and tell me this isn't a cult, because I.. I have no more words.

MSNBC Host Lawrence O'Donnell Explains How The Democratic Party Treats The Left

MSNBC's "The Last Word" host Lawrence O'Donnell describes his politics as a "practical European socialist", which essentially boils down to being a nordic-style social democrat, usually in favour of a mixed economy with a generous welfare state and has defended his positions on MSNBC news shows that typically frown upon stepping outside the neoliberal bubble. O'Donnell is no progressive hero in the context of american politics, sometimes scolding progressive politicians whenever they mildly criticize the Democratic Party, such as when Bernie Sanders tweeted about having to take on the Democratic establishment as well as Republicans, O'Donnell decided to concern troll Sanders by claiming that the Democratic establishment wouldn't pass Sanders' proposals if he wasn't nice to them. Over the course of the last few months an old video of O'Donnell explaining how to move the Democratic Party further left and how the party treats the p...

About Progressive Political News

Progressive Political News is an independent blog which covers recent political news, mainly focusing on UK and US politics. This may sometimes include news from elsewhere. We have just one writer here currently but are looking to expand and potentially have others contributing to our blog, here's hoping. I'm Joshua Stead and I started Progressive Politics on the 7th of April 2017, as I felt I could provide a worthwhile perspective on the major political goings on and would be able to interest readers with our content. When I began writing the articles I wasn't sure if they were appealing or of substance as it had been my first time trying something like this but the feedback I have gotten has been incredible and it has most definitely enabled me to become a better writer. We would love to become a progressive blog that people will be able to use to form their political opinions on major issues and use it as a source of trustworthy news, much like The Canary or Skwa...

Conservatives Really Think The FBI Will Be Arresting Ilhan Omar Soon

Following on from an older article we wrote about the frankly laughable lies conservatives like to spread about Ilhan Omar, they seem to have truly outdone themselves now.  Previously, Omar's detractors created easily falsifiable claims about her, claims that could be disproven from a ten second google search and a cursory read, but nevertheless they persist.  This time around, the very same people believe that the FBI are going to literally arrest Omar. The reasoning behind this is that Omar supposedly married her brother, which has of course been repeated by every right-wing 'news' outlet and even President Trump himself repeated the claim at a campaign rally. Of course something as simple as a birth certificate proves this isn't even remotely true. This didn't stop Chuck Woolery and his idiotic following tweeting out an article claiming that Omar had been 'nabbed by the FBI' and simply lapping it up without even questioning how ridiculous they sound.  FB...
