Elizabeth Warren Is Lying About Opposing Big Money Fundraisers

Elizabeth Warren loves to flaunt her progressive bona fides, continuously stating that her campaign will take no corporate or large donations and will instead fund her campaign from small dollar donations from supporters, just like her 2020 presidential rival, Bernie Sanders.

However, several articles and investigations have revealed that Warren’s supposed opposition to big money donors may not be entirely true. Back in October, the Washington Post reported that Warren will reject big money in the Democratic Primary contest only, and will welcome such donations should she become the Democratic nominee and have to take on Donald Trump in the 2020 general election.

Further reporting from Politico shows that while Warren herself will not interact with these donors, her campaign finance team will be doing so behind the scenes while Warren will continue rail against these very same people at debates and rallies.

A close ally of Elizabeth Warren, Paul Egerman, along with his finance co-chair Shanti Fry are the people who will ensure super wealthy donors that they can rely her to make sure that nothing will affect their class interests and ensure that she won’t rock the boat too much.

For the last few months Warren has been attempting to find a way to make herself appear as a more ‘serious’ candidate than Sanders, her progressive rival, while still hoping to lock in the votes of those who refuse to back a candidate who takes large campaign donations. Over the same time frame, Elizabeth Warren has been free falling from her supposed leading candidate status as she has fallen back into third in the RealClearPolitics polling average, behind Sanders and is in real danger of being caught by fourth placed Pete Buttigieg.

Media talking heads have stated that Buttigieg’s rise into a top tier candidate may be the reason for Warren’s decline in the polls, but there have been increasing criticisms coming from progressive voters who see this as one of the main reasons she’s losing votes, along with her equivocation on Medicare for All, beginning with the ridicule she endured for the funding of her healthcare proposal in which she would first have to pass immigration legislation, among other things. Warren has since stated she would not even introduce Medicare for All legislation for at least three years into her presidency, leading to suggestions that she is becoming less invested in fighting for Medicare for All and her plan is beginning to resemble a public option instead.

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...
