Has 2019 broken politics?

The main premise of Politic-Ed is to educate the world on the on goings of politics at the moment as well as useful insight and analysis. Over the past few weeks we have gotten several comments from you telling us that politics is broken. Most of these comments say something along the lines of “2019 has broken politics!” Are these people right, or are they just being a little bit hyperbolic? A quick Google search of the phrase “Is politics broken?” Yields quite a few results from quite a few respectable media outlets from across the world.

Will Bernie Sanders become President 2020?

A while ago, we covered the 2020 presidential election in the US, a comment on that article inspired this one. The comment read, “Bernie Sanders will win 2020, hands down.” This didn’t cause as much controversy as I’d first assumed, but I wanted to address this. Sanders is much like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a populist and a socialist. In fact, they both belong to the same party- the Democratic Socialist Party. It’s likely that 2020 will see Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren or Joe Biden against President Trump. Most people assume that AOC will be Sanders’ running mate.

Why Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is dangerous…

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the new girl in Congress. She is a member of the Democratic Socialist party, the same party as Bernie Sanders. As much as Bernie Sanders is hated by the media, AOC encompasses all the media hates. A young woman with dangerous ideas. But why exactly is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez dangerous? For many AOC seems like a good idea- after all, she offers all the general public could want. Free college tuition, Medicare for all, job guarantees and a large scale green project. However, as much as the public may want it, these are not sustainable. But AOC will not back down...

Trump is known as a businessman. But when a recession hits. He won’t survive it politically. The president has many critics. They believe he isn’t the right president. The critics believe a recession would have an impact on voters. Turning voters away from Trump. And to Sanders’ Democratic Socialists. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Trump himself has talked about a recession. Not about one in the future. But about his recession. Trump has claimed that he will not be impeached. Because doing so would cause a recession. Trunk claims that this has cowed his opposition. After all, no matter how much you dislike the president. No one likes a recession.

Why Americans Hate Atheist Presidential Candidates…

Presidential Candidates for 2020 has yielded no end of diverse figures. Several billionaires. A self-help guru. Openly gay men. Investors. More women than ever before. Socialists. People of colour. But one key figure is missing... atheists. Whilst the religious beliefs of the socialist candidates, including Senator Bernie Sanders, are unknown. There are no openly atheist candidates... Despite atheism seeming to take hold in many parts of the world. There are very few openly atheist politicians. Even if the voter isn’t religious themselves. A religious representative conveys trust. After all, any person who is religious has morals. Thou shall not kill, thou shall not steal etc. Religion is comforting for those they represent. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || [])...
