Kamala Harris and her 2020 Presidential campaign have decided against attending CNN’s “Climate Crisis” town hall in favour of attending fundraisers in Los Angeles, where rich Hollywood folk will bundle money together in order to support her campaign. Activists such as RL Miller of  Climate Hawks Vote  and the Sunrise Movement , among others, were monumental in there even being a Debate/Town Hall on the impending climate crisis to begin with, in which ten of the more than twenty Democratic presidential hopefuls have qualified for. The aforementioned groups felt that as a country and as a planet, the topic of climate change needed much more of a spotlight than a single question at the tail end of other Democratic primary debates. ABC News campaign correspondent Zohreen Shah  reported the news of Kamala Harris' no-show  a couple of days ago and the Harris campaign said that she would not be attending the town hall due to a "scheduling conflict" - which led to a l...

Progressives have claimed that POLITICO’s latest hit piece on Bernie Sanders and his net worth could be considered anti-Semitic and it’s hard to disagree with the evidence shown. Sanders recently released his tax returns which showed that his net worth could be up to $1.9M, and many anti-Bernie Democrats and cable news hosts - *cough ERIN BURNETT cough* - suggested that this would make Sanders a hypocrite, given how often you’ll hear Bernie railing against the 1%.

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...
