    Another way of looking at the 2016 election

    1. One way of looking at the 2016 election is the time-honoured method of taking sides, with voters picking Republican or Democrat candidates irrespective of the actual reality. Going back to 1916 it was the Democrat candidate reelected on the slogan "he kept us out of war". But there was an...

    Why are people convinced they are right?

    In politics roughly half the people are of each opinion, yet although this is generally accepted, many people believe, after a quick glance at the paper (something short of a full and comprehensive collection of information followed by a dispassionate causal analysis), that they have the whole...

    A simple choice

    The two main party candidates for President are so different that for most people it has to be a simple choice.
  12. MorkandMindy

    Of the four candidates which one would actually be the best for the USA?

    Forget voting strategy, it just gets us to back the wrong people, ones we would not otherwise want. Donald and Hillary are billionaires, they do not have the interests the rest of us have. Donald and Gary Johnson don't make as much sense as they should Hillary has even admitted she doesn't...

    Why accept?

    Friends; Why do so many accept that one must vote for either the Republican or Democrat nominee for President of the United States? There are other options; third parties, write in votes, not casting a vote for President. If the choice is as poor as many claim it to be why participate in...

    Trump and those Polish Workers

    It's well documented in court depositions because Trump was sued for cheating his workers out of their pay and out of their payments to their pension funds. The pension funds weren't for the Polish workers, of course, who were illegal and not unionized but the union contract called for money to...

    Trump's Ghostwriter - the former journalist known as Tony Schwartz

    Long story short: not a fan - Trump is a megalomaniac with the attention span of a flea and the moral compass of a tick. Do actual facts matter? The New Yorker is known for scrupulous fact-checking; various sources bear each other out...

    Trump's Campaign Spending on Trump's Businesses

    Unfortunately for Trump, there are rules about mixing monies. He has to be very careful. The Trump campaign’s most recent financial disclosures show that the self-proclaimed business mogul has a sketchy habit of steering political funds towards his own companies. Through the end of May, the...
