Six weeks before the elections and I'm incredibly tired of the political advertising. Congressional and gubernatorial candidate are just short of lying in their TV adverts. #GOP in particular is airing ads with incredibly misleading statements. Can we have truth in political advertising! Please!

Why Trump May Not Serve Out His Presidency

French Historian Marc Bloch, 1940. This is from his book Strange Defeat that tried to make sense of why the French elite succumbed so seemingly easily to the Nazi takeover. Bloch, a nerdy middle aged Sorbonne professor, joined the resistance and was executed by the Gestapo in 1944.
By birth I am a Jew, though not by religion, for I have never professed any creed, whether Hebrew or Christian. I feel neither pride nor shame in my origins. I am, I hope, a sufficiently good historian to know that racial qualities are a myth, and that the whole notion of Race is an absurdity which becomes particularly flagrant when attempts are made to apply it, as in this particular case of the Jews, to a group of co-religionists originally brought together from every corner of the Mediterranean, Turco-Khazar, and Slav worlds. I am at pains never to stress my heredity save when I find myself in the presence of an anti-Semite. But it may be that certain persons will challenge. the evidence which I propose to put on record, and attempt to discredit it on the grounds that I am an 'alien'. I need say no more in rebuttal of such a charge than that my great-grandfather was a serving soldier in
1793; that my father was one of the defenders of Strasbourg in
1870; that both my uncles chose to leave their native Alsace after its annexation by the Second Reich; that I was brought up in the traditions of patriotism which found no more fervent champions than the Jews of the Alsatian exodus, and that France, from which many would like to expel me to-day (and may, for all I know, succeed in doing so), will remain, whatever happens, the one country with which my deepest emotions are inextricably bound up. I was born in France. I have drunk of the waters of her culture. I have made her past my own. I breathe freely only in her climate, and I have done my best, with others, to defend her interests.

Democrats are uniting around primary winners. That's the reality. Don't let the oligarch-owned corporate media tell you there's some kind of "war" between the left and the center. They are dividing their opposition. The reality is unity. Ignore the rich people trying to convince you otherwise.

This is the thing that so many Americans don’t seem to grasp: private companies are in it to make a profit, and nothing else. There are so many important, necessary discoveries that industry will never look into simply because they can’t make enough money on it.

I wouldn't even bother to write all this if much of this website wasn't predicated on the idea that Democrats and Republicans are "equally bad". An objectively false notion that people seem to want to believe. A notion that has bad effects on voting behavior.

I think you do have a choice - We ended online shopping with Amazon long ago. Replaced it by going directly to product websites or other online retailers. Did lots of price comparisons - Amazon not as cost effective as people think. So going to manufacturers’ websites isn’t gonna cost much more.
