  • Voters: Climate Change Is Real Threat; Want Path to Citizenship for Illegal Aliens; See Themselves As 2Nd Amendment Supporters; Divided on Obamacare & Fed Govt
    SIENA RESEARCH INSTITUTE SIENA COLLEGE, LOUDONVILLE, NY www.siena.edu/sri For Immediate Release: Tuesday, September 27, 2016 Contact: Steven Greenberg (518) 469-9858 Crosstabs; website/Twitter: www.Siena.edu/SRI/SNY @SienaResearch Time Warner Cable News / Siena College 19th Congressional District Poll: Game On: Faso 43 Percent, Teachout 42 Percent ¾ of Dems with Teachout, ¾ of Reps with Faso; Inds Divided Voters: Climate Change Is Real Threat; Want Path to Citizenship for Illegal Aliens; See Themselves as 2nd Amendment Supporters; Divided on Obamacare & Fed Govt. Involvement in Economy Trump Leads Clinton by 5 Points; Schumer Over Long by 19 Points Loudonville, NY. The race to replace retiring Republican Representative Chris Gibson is neck and neck, as Republican John Faso has the support of 43 percent of likely voters and Democrat Zephyr Teachout has the support of 42 percent, with 15 percent still undecided, according to a new Time Warner Cable News/Siena College poll of likely 19th C.D. voters released today. Both have identical 75 percent support among voters from their party, with independents virtually evenly divided between the two. By large margins, voters say climate change is a real, significant threat; want a pathway to citizenship for aliens here illegally; and, consider themselves 2nd Amendment supporters rather than gun control supporters. Voters are closely divided on Obamacare, supporting its repeal by a small four-point margin, and whether the federal government should increase or lessen its role to stimulate the economy. In the race for President, Donald Trump has a 43-38 percent lead over Hillary Clinton, while Chuck Schumer has a 55-36 percent lead over Wendy Long in the race for United States Senator.

Cuomo's Progressive Promises, Reminiscent of Four Years Ago, Received Differently Sam Raskin Stewart-Cousins, Cuomo, and Klein at unity event (photo: Govenor's Office) In May 2014, Governor Andrew Cuomo attempted to earn the last-minute endorsement of The Working Families Party with a video address at its nominating convention. As Cuomo sought a second term that year, he made a series of promises demanded by WFP members and received the party’s backing and ballot line. The deal with frustrated progressive activists and labor union leaders, who make up the WFP, was in part brokered by Mayor Bill de Blasio after the WFP threatened to run Zephyr Teachout to Cuomo’s left. Cuomo, a Democrat, promised to back a series of progressive policies and a Democratic takeover of the state Senate -- including the reunification of mainline Democrats and the Independent Democratic Conference -- where he acknowledged that many of those policies had been blocked. Nearly four years later and with little he had promised the WFP accomplished, Cuomo made similar pronouncements, this time weeks ahead of the planned WFP convention, while he is facing a challenge from the left by actor and activist Cynthia 1 of 6 4/16/2018, 12:14 PM Cuomo's Progressive Promises, Reminiscent of Four Years Ago, Receiv... http://www.gothamgazette.com/state/7613-cuomo-s-2018-progressive-p...

  • 1 in the Shadow of Trump: How the 2016 Presidential Contest Affected
    In the Shadow of Trump: How the 2016 Presidential Contest Affected House and Senate Primaries Prepared for the 2017 State of the Parties Conference, Akron, Ohio Robert G. Boatright, Clark University [email protected] The presidential race did not quite monopolize all of the uncivil or bizarre moments of the summer of 2016. One of the more interesting exchanges took place in Arizona in August of 2016, during the weeks before the state’s Senate primary election. Senator John McCain, always a somewhat unpredictable politician, has had difficulties in his last two primaries. Perhaps because he was perceived as having strayed too far toward the political center, or perhaps simply because his presidential bid had created some distance between McCain and Arizonans, he faced a vigorous challenge in 2010 from conservative talk show host and former Congressman J. D. Hayworth. McCain ultimately beat back Hayworth’s challenge, 56 percent to 32 percent, but only after a bitter campaign in which McCain spent a total of over $21 million and abandoned much of his “maverick” positioning and presented himself as a staunch conservative and a fierce opponent of illegal immigration (Steinhauer 2010). His task was made easier by his ability to attack Hayworth’s own checkered career in Congress. In 2016, McCain again faced a competitive primary opponent, physician, Tea Party activist, and two-term State Senator Kelli Ward. Ward, like Hayworth, argued that McCain was not conservative enough for Arizona. Ward was (and is), however, a decade younger than Hayworth, and her shorter tenure in political office made it harder for McCain to attack her.

  • How to Prevent the Next Social Media-Driven Attack on Democracy—And Avoid a Big Tech Censorship Regime
    economicliberties.us CORPORATE POWER QUICK POWER CORPORATE TAKE How To Prevent the Next Social Media-Driven Attack On Democracy—and Avoid a Big Tech Censorship Regime Ending Targeted Advertising Will Shut Down Social Media’s Radicalization Machine February 2021 Social media networks like Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter played a significant role in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol Building. But having private monopolists ban conservative political groups or individual leaders not only introduces a dangerous unaccountable censorship regime, but also fails to fix the fundamental problem, which is that these same monopolists make billions from promoting misinformation, conspiracy theories, and violence. On Jan. 6, 2021, there were two attacks on American democracy. The first was an attack on the Capitol by a violent mob egged on by former President Donald Trump. The second was the response: the removal of certain groups, individuals, and even entire social media sites by a small network of Silicon Valley executives who run social media networks and the systems that support them. While the riots were no doubt more immediately dangerous, the long-term risk of allowing the holders of critical private sector infrastructure to silence political factions is significant. Indeed, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, no friend of Trump, called big tech’s banning of the president “problematic” because of its anti-democratic nature. HOW TO PREVENT THE NEXT SOCIAL MEDIA-DRIVEN ATTACK ON DEMOCRACY—AND AVOID A BIG TECH CENSORSHIP REGIME 1 This brief will explain how the business models of Facebook and other social networks were integral to creating the conditions that led to the Capitol attack.

SYMPOSIUM FIGHTING CORRUPTION IN AMERICA AND ABROAD FOREWORD Jed Handelsman Shugerman* In the middle of the first panel of the Fordham Law Review symposium, Fighting Corruption in America and Abroad, there was a pivotal, clarifying moment. Zephyr Teachout and Lawrence Lessig had been framing modern campaign finance as a problem of corruption—systematic and institutional corruption. Richard Hasen rejected that framing, arguing that America’s campaign finance system is not truly “corruption” in a legal sense, but rather it is fundamentally a problem of inequality. In the middle of this debate, Lessig admitted that he had been making a legal argument about corruption pitched to the courts, but that the moral question is different: I find it difficult to look at politicians and feel the moral force of the sense that they are corrupt.
