Germany in 1933 is the most famous example, but similar systems in Spain led to Franco, and the United Kingdom’s election led to Brexit, which is threatening the country’s …

Vote for Joe
I cast my primary vote for Elizabeth Warren because I believe she had the best combination of strategy and progressive ideals, significantly more than any other candidate in the race.

Rule of Man
This is a short post because this is an extremely simply issue. We have finally received extremely rudimentary details on Trump’s taxes from a leak given to the New York Times.

This idea is that forcing an employer to pay for the birth control of their employee as part of their health insurance is forcing the business owner to violate their religious beliefs. The …

Green means the President either only served one term or did not win a majority of the popular vote in one of his elections. Purple is Franklin …

This is because that if Hillary Clinton had become President 3 years ago, he would have been the most obvious pick to replace a resignation during Hillary Clinton’s term.
