    I’m Tired of being Nostradamus

    Ya know, it’s really fucking irritating to be right. I’ve known for a while what’s coming. Trans people told you, black people told you, marginalised people told you years ago this would happen. But it didn’t impact you, so you didn’t listen.

    The Trading Game and Gary Stevenson

    I just finished reading Gary Stevenson’s book The Trading Game 📚 and I wanted to offer some thoughts about the book.

    I watched this interview with Gary on Novara Media:

    and it’s what pushed me to buy the book. I thought that the book …

    The Future of American Politics: Moving Beyond Party Lines

    I woke up yesterday morning in my bed in Southeast England. I realized the country of my birth has elected Donald Trump again. I wrote this post in 2016 talking about the many reasons the Democrats lost to Donald Trump. Over the four years after the …

    The Dilemma at the Center of the UK Labour and USA's Democratic Party

    I'm an American living in the UK for the last six years. When I lived in the United States, I was involved with Democratic politics on a state and national level. Reflecting on that experience has made me conclude that the Labour Party and the …

    Why I'm Angry

    Who Is To Blame for Trump's Win?

    I've seen many Facebook/Twitter friends post this story from Newsweek:

    The implication is that if not for Sanders supporters, Hillary Clinton would be POTUS, not Trump. It wasn't Bernie Sanders supporters that sunk the Clinton campaign. It was …

    It's Foolish to Think of the Saving of Obamacare is a Victory

    Many Democrats are celebrating the defeat of the Republican's attempt to "repeal and replace" Obamacare this morning. What the hell are Americans celebrating?

    Bernie or Meh, The Clinton Path to Defeat

    I’ll say it up front, I’m a Bernie Sanders supporter that:

    • thinks Sanders has a very narrow path to the nomination (almost impossible).

    This morning I was listening to LBC radio and the radio presenter, John Stapleton (who was sitting in for James O’Brien), took a call from someone that said the Tories don’t care about benefit cuts and people in poverty: [soundcloud …

    Rishawn and Abdul

    Masson’s Blog recently posted about Republicans and Democrats being at each other’s throats and the prisoner’s mentality that has manifested itself here locally.

    TRUTH IS BAD!

    A youth opinion writer for the Indianapolis star wrote recently that

    "Howard Dean’s recent comment generalizing the GOP as 'pretty much a white, Christian party' was both untimely and ill-advised." and that "The greatest prospect for the Democratic …
