Progressive Political News

Bernie Sanders often deals with objections to his presidential aspirations from all sides of the political spectrum, those on the Right who believe Sanders wants to turn America into some kind of Communist dictatorship, Centrist Democrats who label Bernie as racist, sexist and unable to win a general election, with people from the Left who suggest that he isn't progressive enough. However, one particular critique of Sanders is both extremely exaggerated and in some cases, a flat out lie. Venture over to Twitter and read the tweets of people who use the '#NeverBernie' and '#StillWithHer' hashtags and you'll notice a similar theme: "Bernie Sanders cannot appeal to People of Colour". It must be mentioned that Sanders does indeed have a problem marketing his message to groups of non-white Americans that he will need to win over in order to fulfill those aforementioned presidential aspirations, but this is a hurdle that Sanders should be able to conqu...

Ever since Jeremy Corbyn delivered a hung parliament in the 2017 UK General Election, his and Labour's popularity rating in the polls have been surging, but unfortunately so have the smears both from the center and right-wing. This sharp increase in, to borrow a phrase, fake news, has led many on the Left to label Corbyn as a man of mystery and many talents, one who is able to hide all of his so-called misdeeds from British Intelligence Services and become the leader of the UK's current opposition. We will now take great delight at going through the most prominent smears that the Labour leader has faced and debunk them as best we can, because Jeremy clearly has a lot to answer for. Jeremy Corbyn is a Communist This is perhaps the most prominent smear against Corbyn as it's the fact that it's simply down to what your own personal interpretation of what a Communist actually is. For example, according to those on the Right in America like to claim that the Democrat...

Not all babies get tears from Jimmy Kimmel. Got it. #AlfieEvans pic.twitter.com/ebt48exgod — Steven Crowder (@scrowder) April 27, 2018 American conservatives such as Steven Crowder, among many others, have began using their ridiculously low level of understanding about UK healthcare and the harrowing case of 1 year old Alfie Evans in order to push back against the growing popularity of a single-payer system being implemented in the United States. Crowder has stated that "the state chose to let Alfie Evans die", which isn't the case whatsoever but that doesn't matter to people such as Steven Crowder, who has a history of lying to his audience. While Crowder pretends that the UK Government had the final say on whether or not Alfie's parents would be allowed to take him from Alder Hay Hospital in Liverpool to a hospital in Rome that had suggested it could possibly save Alfie's life, that's simply untrue. The Alfie Evans case was between doctors at ...

To put it mildly, Wayne Allyn Root is fu*king insane and following the recent Florida Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, he decided to put this on full display. Many ridiculous ideas have been tossed around in the weeks following the mass shooting, such as  buckets of rocks  and  600 miniature baseball bats   - yes these ideas are very real, please stop laughing - but the proposal put forward by our dear friend, Wayne, really does take the biscuit.  Wayne, in his infinite wisdom has decided that the best way to protect each and every school student in America is via a drone, obviously. You know, the very same instruments of death that kill innocent civilians all over the earth, mainly the middle east though because imperialist Western countries have gotta do what they've gotta do. Bombing innocent people in order to save innocent people's lives, makes complete sense if you ask me. Now, lets be fair to Wayne here and say that the idiot leftists c...

Self appointed Hillary Clinton and People of Colour defender Candice Aiston took a short break from likening Hillary Clinton to Jesus and claiming that Democrats were literally 'entitled' to the votes of minority groups in order to write a truly awful  article   suggesting that Bernie Sanders supporters essentially target aforementioned minority groups who do not share their politics and dig up old tweets which could be seen as controversial in order to "silence women and POC". We will now take great delight in explaining how Candice is being extremely disingenuous when discussing the interactions between Democrats and left-wing accounts on social media. Firstly, it must be said that some of the tweets from left-wing accounts Candice uses to back up her stance are extremely worrying, whether they happen to be in jest or not. Two tweets stick out, one suggesting that the "RIP Candice Aiston" Twitter Trend could be relating to her death and another calling...

Following the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting on February 14th many of the young survivors have transformed into gun control advocates and formed an advocacy group called Never Again MSD , which began to gain traction on Twitter with the use of the hashtag # NeverAgain . Several prominent media personalities and politicians have praised the group of students on their activism, which has lead to the increasingly popular "the kids are alright", while many others admire their passion. The 'Never Again' facebook group created by the surviving students has amassed nearly 139,000 followers since the shooting, with celebrities such as George Clooney and Oprah Winfrey donating $500,000 each to the cause. As the kids fiercely fight to ensure that such shootings never take place again, several on the political right have began to mock the survivors without remorse, with criticisms ranging from "seventeen dead children doesn't affect my Second Amendment rights...

A conservative freedom-loving woman from Arizona made a rather laughable claim targeted at what she sees as droves and droves of illegal immigrants finding a weak spot in the US-Mexico Border at the Naco, Arizona entry point, as this is this the closest point from her stated location. There's just a few slight  problems with her theory. Here we have the US-Mexico Border which shuts the two countries off from each other, shown by the thin blue line. The blue icon with the letter "A" is the entry point at Naco and the icon with the letter "B" is Ramage's reported location of Sierra Vista. The problem here is that it would take roughly forty-two minutes, by car, to go between these two locations. Therefore, unless Leslie is driving to the border each day and watching handfuls of Mexican immigrants cross into America, she couldn't possibly see them, so she's basically a massive liar. Furthermore, if illegal immigration is an issue she cares deepl...
