Did Your Favorite Democratic Party Candidate for President get Excluded from Debates?

Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 12/31/2019 - 02:59

Could Democratic Party candidates for President of the United States of America, who have been excluded from debates jointly controlled by PBS, join the complaint of an independent candidate for U.S. Congress against Vermont PBS?
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
WILL 2020 BRING FAIRNESS TO POLITICS?
I want all Democratic Party candidates for President of the
United States of America to sit up and pay attention because
you know that PBS is constantly asking for viewer donations,

Some anarchist observations on the anti-gun march

Submitted by Luke on Sun, 03/25/2018 - 18:43

On the 24th of March hundreds of thousands of mostly young students rallied on Penn Ave demanding an end to the massacres in their schools. At the very lead of the entire march was an African-American survivor of the Parkland Massacre and Black Lives Matter DC, which had sucessfully taken the lead position. National Guard trucks in the street looked like Baltimore 2015 or J20.

The hypocrisy of Trump on Protests in Iran vs protests of his inauguration

Submitted by Luke on Mon, 01/01/2018 - 20:00

As 2017 faded into 2018, Donald Trump tweeted messages of support for protesters in Iran, where protests over price increases have escalated into street fighting and broader antigovernment demands. The scenes from Iran being played on US corporate news TV look a bit like footage from the protests of Donald Trump's own Inauguration. Of course, Trump is tweeting support for one group of protesters while trying to have 188 people sent to prison for up to 65 years for protesting him.

Police chemical weapons OK on Jan 20, yet Trump bombs Syria over chemical weapons

Submitted by Anonymous on Thu, 04/06/2017 - 23:36

On Thursday, April 6, Trump ordered US forces to level the Syrian airbase from which the April 4 chemical attack on Khan Sheikhun was launched. An estimated 50 Tomahawk missiles were used. Trump said it was indisputable that Assad's regime had fired chemical weapons. Also indisputable is that Trump's Jan 20 Inaugural parade would not have reached the White House without wholesale use of chemical weapons by police against anti-Trump protesters.
