Don't Cast A Compromised Ballot in November


Listen..., I'm well aware that President Donald Trump is a fascist and when I say that, I don't mean he's "like a fascist." The guy is a fascist. With that being said, the Democrats are running a guy who may very well be guilty of Improper Sexual Contact, someone's who basically a creep, and who in addition to that, does not bode well for progressive interests. He's untrustworthy, stands in direct contrast to the tenets of Our Revolution, as embodied by the Bernie Sanders campaign of 2016, and is unlikely to keep any promises made to our movement, if elected in 2020.

Many will be quick to rely on the blame game. "It's people like you," they'll start out with, then finish with "that will help Trump get re-elected." If that's the case, if us voting our conscience makes it easier for Trump to win, then oh well. The truth is, the Democratic Party has had one, now two, different opportunities to do right by the progressive movement. They have insisted upon denying Bernie, AOC, Nina Turner and other progressive voices from reaching their cadres. The Democrats have systematically suppressed the progressive movement since 2016. Even when Bernie endorsed that criminal, Hillary Clinton, they never let up. Our people have always been relegated to support staffs and inferior administrative posts. They don't want us any more in 2020, than in 2016.

They want our votes, but not our voices.

Do you really want to continue to reward a Party that does not want us? When will we ever build the working class party we've all yearned for? When does Our Revolution actually start? Our revolution cannot just exist during the primaries of a capitalist party who could care less for the interests of working people, students, immigrants and seniors. This is a sham! Isn't it about time, we pull the plug on this facade, on this sham of a democracy? I voted Green in 2016 for Jill Stein and haven't had a single regret since. If Trump wins or if Biden does, the outcome won't be much different. Don't you realize that both parties belong to the political and financial elites? There won't be any significant change with either one of them - that's the whole point.

"When we vote independent on the left, they hear us." - Howie Hawkins

That's so true! When we vote 3rd party, we are not only using our voice, but we are showing the world how serious we are about our political convictions. It takes real discipline to commit to vote for a party that will not win - at least not anytime soon. As more and more of us break with the Lesser of Two Evil mentality, then and only then, will the political playing field in America change. Perhaps one day, America will evolve, and we'll live a in country where multiple parties exist and where governments must create coalitions. The idea of a 2 Party system is an anti Democratic as it gets. The only way to change it, is to vote your conscience.

President Trump Calls It - Keith Ellison ROBBED!


Whether you choose to believe it or not - Donald Trump & Bernie Sanders were both revolutionary candidates in 2016. Trump, for the republicans, & Bernie, for the democrats. Trump wasn't really a republican; he's always been on his own page. Sander wasn't really democrat, in fact he only registered as such to run, then the very next day after the DNC Convention, switched back to independent. The fundamental difference between the two men, is that with Trump, all bets were off. He refused to play establishment ball. He knew he was more popular than his adversaries & if the GOP screwed him, he'd run independent. Bernie, however, played nice with the DNC, refused pleas from Dr. Jill Stein to create progressive alternative ticket, & lost the nomination that would have undeniably led to his election as the 45th President of the United States.

That same "playing it nice" approach has led to the second major defeat of progressives in the Democratic Party, with the defeat of Keith Ellison. As President Trump correctly points out, the election was rigged! The same way Bernie got screwed, now Ellison gets screwed. 

Believe me, agreeing with President Trump is not at the top my Things I'd Like To Do List; however, as a progressive, I speak my mind & owe no party the benefit of the doubt. President Trump is 110% correct about the DNC, Ellison's loss, & Bernie's as well.

So what now? Do you (not me) continue to believe in "Dem Enter?" Do you (not me) continue to play nice? Or do you join me & leave this God forsaken capitalist, bourgeoisie party. If & until the national democratic party & it's state branches truly become democratic, why stay? 

Everyone who feels ROBBED, NEGLECTED, & OVERLOOKED should seriously, seriously consider finding a party that REPRESENTS their values, not IGNORES them.

Obama Had No Intention of Pardoning Leonard Pelter



In a special video for ProgressiveActivists.com, we make the case for the fact that Native American political prisoner Leonard Peltier is very much a hostage of the U.S. Federal Gov't. Please watch the video, leave a comment, & if possible, please share. We'd also really appreciate it if you subscribed to our channel on youtube.

Womens March on Washington D.C. - Thoughts from an Activist



Don't miss this great interview with Bea from Louisville, KY. She traveled to D.C., not for Trump's inauguration, but to stand proudly for the womens' rights movement. 

CARL DIX - McPherson Square - Washington D.C.


It was a great honor for me to interview co-initiator of Refuse Fascism & founding member of the RCPUSA, Mr. Carl Dix two days before the inauguration of Donald Trump in Washington D.C.. Comrade Carl has been an instrumental fighter for civil rights & social justice since the 1960's.

Please check out the interview, comment (whether here or on youtube), share (if possible), & please subscribe. Thank you!!
