What is class warfare? How is it used in elections?

During each election, there is often one thing made clear: class warfare. Politicians use it during debates, as a way to stop other politicians in their tracks. But few actually know what it is... Class warfare is the notion that politicians actively try to stoke anger of one social 'class' against another.

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.

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. Especially not the voters. And the Democratic Socialist voters even less.  Tr...

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 || [])...
