Progressive Political News

The Democratic Party have seemingly decided against being the party of the average, everyday American and have instead chosen to represent the fossil fuel industry in a shocking turn of events. Just kidding, this is exactly who the Democratic Party are and have been for a long time. Way, way back in June 2018, The Hill  reported   that Democrats would no longer accept donations from fossil fuel companies. The motion was introduced by Christine Pelosi, a member of the Democratic National Committee and daughter of House Minority Leader, Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), this was a proposal that would galvanise both progressives and environmental advocates. The proposal went after fossil fuel corporations, stating: "Fossil fuel corporations are drowning our democracy in a tidal wave of dark oily money; they have deceived the public about the impact of climate change, fought the growth of clean renewable energy and corrupted our political system." DNC Chairman Tom Perez stated that th...

Hillary Clinton supporters have a new theory as to who put Donald Trump in the White House: Hillary Clinton herself. These are the very same people that have spent the last two years blaming Bernie Sanders, Jill Stein, Russia, sexism, and non-voters for their loss but have now flipped and claim that Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and the Democrats knew what they were doing all along and that purposefully losing the 2016 election was a part of an extravagant scheme. The reasoning they have for their theory is that Hillary was "weirdly quiet" and that it's all "a plan to get citizens engaged in politics" and personally I have no idea how they've come to this conclusion because everything Hillary and her election operatives have done since the 2016 election is blame voters and has appeared on plenty of UK and US talk shows such as The Graham Norton Show, Saturday Night Live, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and The View, to name just a few. There...

According to the  US National Debt Clock , a website which tracks the real-time total of many governmental figures ranging from the US National Debt/Deficit, how many Americans currently use Food Stamps or the current amount of people who are currently unemployed in the US - which currently sits at 12,420,110 people or 3.7% of the population. Even since writing that paragraph and taking the time to make a cup of tea, an additional $7M has already been added to the US Federal Budget Deficit that is pictured above, which shows just how quickly it is increasing. Given the Republican Party's stern opposition to any federal spending because we "have to cut the deficit and pay down the debt", which is exactly what any sane governmental official should look to do during their time in office, but also provide an increase in the quality of life for each and every American citizen. The Republican Party are however extremely hypocritical when it comes to government spending an...

Whether you believe Donald Trump managed to elevate himself into the Oval Office using Russian hacking efforts - which is actually the making of awful internet memes to 'sway' voters - and evading the eyes of the numerous American intelligence agencies and managed to remain in office for nearly half of his first term or not, why on earth would you vote to give an "illegitimate president" an increased military budget? The legislation, which is called H.R 5515 or the  John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019  was sent to President Trump's desk after a 87-10 vote, with many Democrats voting in favour of the legislation. Democrats make plenty of noise about resisting Donald Trump, opposing the "manchurian candidate" and impeaching him from office.. and then turn around and vote in favour of gifting Trump the third largest military budget in US history, being beaten only by the 1940's WWII-era Defense Budget and $721B ...
