Meet the new page: Election 2020

The menu at the top has a new page called Election 2020. It contains fundamental resource material for voters who wish to inform themselves, instead of letting the main-stream media do it for them. I was inspired to create the page because of the deplorable shade cast upon the new crop of Democratic Candidates last night on PBS News Hour:


This demonstrates how much disdain the Establishment has on the more progressive-leaning Democrats who are becoming increasingly popular as more and more labor value is stolen from the working class in the form of corporate profits.

The Politics of Concrete Operational Thinkers

Illinois Representative John Shimkus (R) may not have received "The Talk." You know, "The Birds and the Bees" lecture.
