James Talarico
James Talarico
Could Texas Might Be Headed Towards Change With James Talarico? Texas state representative James Talarico has taken a risky approach in his campaign for the U.S. Senate. That approach is to openly discuss, and to campaign, based on his religious beliefs. This year, a progressive campaign openly based on religious values may succeed, and it […]

Troy Jackson
Troy Jackson
Election success in Maine can be deceptively challenging.  While outsiders are often most familiar with the winter sports resorts in the mountains or vacation hotspots along the coast (including Bath, where the Iron Works has long benefitted from incumbent Susan Collins’ clout), much of Maine is rural with many towns near the poverty line. Because of this, it’s critical for political candidates to adjust their messages to appeal to small farmers, itinerant loggers, and other agricultural […]

Aftyn Behn
Aftyn Behn
Why is Aftyn Behn running for Congress? “I’m a pissed-off social worker in the South,” Tenn.

Chris Pappas
Chris Pappas
Democrat Chris Pappas, a candidate for the U.S. Senate for the New Hampshire seat being vacated by Sen. Jean Shaheen, has had an impressive political career thus far. He has kept to a moderate path on many issues, but his voting record on legislation supported by the Stand Up for Workers PAC and his near-100% […]
Dan Osborn

[…]
Roy Cooper
Roy Cooper
It was March 29, 2016, less than one week after North Carolina’s then-governor, Pat McCrory, had signed HB 2 into law. That bill required transgender students and adults in public buildings to use restrooms corresponding to the gender assigned to them at birth. As North Carolina’s attorney general for eight years, Roy Cooper had defended […]

Troy Jackson Replaces Platner In Maine Race

Research Indicates Several Personality Traits Produce Trump Bases Loyalty

Psychological, sociological, and political science research shows that a constellation of personality characteristics leads people to prefer authoritarian political leaders; a result that may explain the strong loyalty of Trump voters. Factors like: unstable and increasing cost of living groundless, seemingly whimsical initiation of war and race-based, anti-minority policies may remain helpful rational issues [...]
