By Scott Walter Left-wing interests are raving about the documentary “Dark Money.” Airing this month on PBS, “Dark Money” purports to expose the effects of right-wing political spending in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens United v.

What they frequently ignore though, is commentary and reporting from their own side that unapologetically distorts facts, hypocritically criticizes people and organizations, and cra- venly caves to the status quo after professing to be honest, trans- parent, and independent. The Young Turks is one of the biggest such progressive media outlets that escapes attention. It boasts an impressive number of viewers, but its approach to covering current events represents the worst of political commentary.

    REPRESENTATION, POLITICS AND MONEY: A SCREENING GUIDE “I’m running because of Cori Bush. I’m running because of Paula Jean Swearengin. I’m running because everyday Americans deserve to be represented by everyday Americans.” - Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez TABLE OF CONTENTS 4 About the Film 5 Letter from Director, Rachel Lears 6 Using the Guide Tips for Leading Conversations Pre-Screening Discussion Questions 9 Post-Screening Background and Context Who Knocked in 2018? Representation: Who is in Congress and Why it Matters How Money Works in Elections The Politics of Elections 25 Get Involved Share the Film Spark Conversations Across Party Lines Vote and Get Out the Vote Support a Candidate Run for Office 33 Resources for Further Learning 3 ABOUT THE FILM Knock Down the House is the story of four working-class women who embraced the challenge of running for Congressional office in the 2018 midterm elections. They are four of the record numbers who organized grassroots campaigns, rejected corporate PAC money and challenged the notion that everyday people can run successful campaigns against sitting incumbents. Collectively these candidates herald a cultural and political shift to transform the process of running and electing our representatives. Such changes do not occur in a vacuum, nor are they about a singular issue. Rather they about changing the attitudes, behaviors, terms, and outcomes of existing and entrenched norms and building towards a more inclusive and representative government. 4 LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR, RACHEL LEARS I’ve been making films about politics since the days of Occupy Wall Street. After having a baby in 2016, I thought I might take a break from political filmmaking—but the day after the election, I knew I had no choice.

  • 2020 Election Year Is an Opportunity for Transformational Change If We Embrace Our Power | Dissident Voice

We need to show that whether Donald Trump or Joe Biden are elected, the people will rule from below. We need to build our power to demand the transformational we need. We are living in an opportune time, as has existed previously in the United States when many of the issues people have fought for have come to the forefront, but the two parties disregarded the people. Similar to the abolition movement in the 19th century and the progressive/socialist movement in the early 20th century, this is our moment in the 21st century for systemic changes that fundamentally alter our healthcare system, economy, foreign policy, environmental policy and more. As Kali Akuno of Cooperation Jackson said in our recent Clearing the FOG interview (available Monday), the right- wing is using this time to push through their agenda of corporate bailouts, deregulation, and worker exploitation. If the left doesn’t organize and counter this, the country will continue on its current destructive path. The changes we want won’t come from the top. Both corporate duopoly candidate’s priorities are the wealthy investor class and big business.

  • Populism in a Divided America Stephen Richardson
    CONTRIBUTOR BIO STEPHEN RICHARDSON is a third year political science student, concentrat- ing in pre-law, and is a member of the Cal Poly Marksmanship Club. Stephen is a Marine veteran who was stationed in Okinawa, Japan from 2009-2011. Stephen hopes to eventually pursue a career in international law or diplomacy focused in national security. POPULISM IN A DIVIDED AMERICA Stephen Richardson “It’s the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, Black, White, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states. We are, and always will be, the United States of America.” — Former President Barack Obama’s 2008 Victory Speech Former President Barack Obama most likely did not foresee how ironic this quote would become when he took the stage in Chicago after his historic 2008 election. Americans are now more divided and polarized than he could have imagined. Cultural divisions and political partisanship have been reaching fever-pitch, as a wave of populism has swept through Europe and the United States, fanning fears of demagoguery. With Brexit in the United Kingdom, and President Trump’s shocking victory in the US, many mainstream observers fear that fascism is both spreading through and threatening liberal democracies.1 1 Sheri Berman, “Populism is not Fascism: But it Could Be a Harbinger.” Foreign Affairs, December, 2016, 39. paideia Fascism is profoundly different than populism, and attempts to claim that recent events equate to fascism are exaggerated and incorrect.

  • The ‘Justice Democrats’ Are the Brains
    The ‘Justice Democrats’ Are the Brains Behind Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Who Was Recruited from a Pool of 10,000 Contestants Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) was recruited by the Justice Democrats, a group of radical leftist and socialists, that auditioned over 10,000 people to run as their candidate in Congress. The Justice Democrats intend to takeover the Democrat Party by ‘primarying’ out establishment Democrats and replacing them with hundreds of radical socialist puppets. The Justice Democrats, backers of the Green New Deal and open borders, intend to take over the Democrat Party, Congress and then the entire United States. Seven candidates endorsed by the Justice Democrats were elected to Congress in the 2018 interim elections. Two former Bernie Sanders strategists and Cenk Uygur of the Young Turks appear to be pulling the strings, but it is unclear who is funding the enterprise. Zack Exley, a key player in the Justice Democrats, was a fellow at George Soros’ Open Borders Foundation. Summary by JW Williams Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) was chosen by the Justice Democrats, a group of radical leftist and socialists, that auditioned over 10,000 people to run as their candidate in Congress. The Justice Democrats are employing a strategy of taking over the Democratic Party by ‘primarying’ establishment Democrats out of office by running hundreds of charismatic opponents against incumbent Democrats that they do not own. After taking control over the Democrat Party, they intend to control Congress and then the United States. In the recent 2018 elections, the Justice Democrats endorsed 79 candidates in Democrat primaries, and 26 of them advanced to the general election and 7 won seats in Congress.

  • El Legado De Bernie Sanders Y La Batalla Por El 2020
    El legado de Bernie Sanders y la batalla por el 2020 Imprimir A Federico Gyurkovits, por su interés en el tema Las elecciones presidenciales de 2016 fueron un gran revés para los movimientos progresistas en Estados Unidos. Pero la campaña del senador independiente por Vermont, Bernie Sanders, en las primarias internas del Partido Demócrata, deja un legado importante para esas organizaciones que conviene revisar con más cuidado. Apenas tres días después de la toma de posesión de Donald Trump como presidente de EU (el 20 de enero de 2017), se funda la organización ‘Demócratas por la Justicia’ (‘Justice Democrats’, en adelante JD). Sus dirigentes son Cenk Uygur, Kyle Kulinski (del programa Secular Talk), ambos comentaristas políticos ligados al programa creado por el primero, The Young Turks (TYT), y algunos dirigentes de la campaña presidencial de Bernie Sanders, entre ellos, Corbin Trent, de Brand New Congress, y Saikat Chakrabarti, ahora jefe del equipo de Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, la nueva representante demócrata por el 14º distrito de Nueva York, a la que nos volveremos a referir más adelante. A partir del año pasado, la directora ejecutiva de JD es Alexandra Rojas, otra mente brillante a la que habrá que seguir muy de cerca. El diagnóstico y la solución Justice Democrats parte del supuesto, adecuado desde mi perspectiva, de que la mayor parte de la población aprueba las políticas progresistas que ellos enarbolan, entre ellas el Nuevo Pacto Verde (https://www.alainet.org/es/articulo/198137), un sistema de salud universal (Medicare for all), educación universitaria pública y gratuita, y la abolición del Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE), que actualmente gestiona los centros de detención para migrantes y la política de separación y detención de infantes, implementada por el gobierno de Donald Trump, entre otras propuestas.
