Democrats Accuse Cynthia Nixon Of Being Anti-Semitic With Days To Go In NY Primary

With days to go until the September 13th Democratic Gubernatorial Primary between Andrew Cuomo and Cynthia Nixon, the Cuomo campaign has been accused of dirty, tacky politics.

A recent campaign mailer was sent out to voters which smeared Nixon as being "silent on the rise of anti-Semitism". The mailer attempted to smear Nixon by suggesting that she supports Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS), a global campaign aiming to boycott Israel until they are complying with international law. One small problem here is that Cynthia Nixon doesn't support Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions.

Another way in which this ridiculous campaign mailer lied about Nixon is that it suggests that she opposes government funding of yeshivas, which are private religious schools mainly attended by New York's orthodox Jewish population. She has never said this.
This is an extremely underhanded tactic that is falsely used to turn members of the Jewish community against a progressive politician who dare challenge Democratic Party members from the left. Cynthia Nixon does however have the support of notable left-wing Democrats such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who has questioned how the party claimed to allow the false campaign mailer to be sent and why there has been no correction from the Democratic Party.




We agree wholeheartedly with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez here, why is the party taking sides in a primary? New Yorkers should be able to go to the polls on Thursday and vote without any of this false information influencing their decisions, and the New York State Democratic Party shouldn't be picking sides in this election and support whoever wins, even if it is Cynthia Nixon.

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

MSNBC News Caught Faking Poll Numbers To Elevate Biden Above Bernie Sanders

If you were to believe recent polling figures in regards to the Democratic Primaries, Joe Biden is by far and away one of the most popular political figures in America, with his 2020 poll numbers giving him a 37 and 32 point lead over Bernie Sanders in the recent past. There has however been issues with some of the polls that have been undertaken and given Joe Biden his huge lead, such as the one pictured above, which shows Bernie leading Biden by 2% (27%-25%) among non-white voters, but you wouldn’t know that if you watched the MSNBC segment regarding the poll, in which Biden magically gains three percentage points in order to go ahead of Bernie in these demographics. Here’s another poll (CNN) that was used in order to show Sanders “plummeting support” and as you can see the poll includes zero respondents of anyone under the age of fifty. The problem being that Sanders base of support is largely made up of younger voters, so to not include any in a poll on Sanders is simply di

Why The Labour Party Lost The UK Election

Whichever way you approach the recent UK election, it would be fair to say that the Labour Party experienced a drubbing, resulting in a loss of 60 seats and handing the Conservative Party a large parliamentary majority. There has however been a fierce debate surrounding the reasons for Labour’s defeat, reasons ranging from Brexit, Jeremy Corbyn himself or supposedly racist voters. This debate has deeply spilt the two main factions of the Labour Party, between moderates and progressives. Blairites vs Corbynistas if you will. Moderates place the blame solely at the feet of Jeremy Corbyn, his supposed anti-semitism and poor electability. Progressives see this defeat as a result of a Brexit backlash with many Leave voters leaving the Labour Party while the Conservative Party had one core message: “Get Brexit Done” which seemingly resonated. It is fair to suggest that Corbyn’s popularity isn’t exactly soaring, with the mere mention of his name bringing about a whole range of different
