I have been a big fan of Gov. JB Pritzker. His achievements were many. He handled the COVID crisis with grace and harmony with his daily wishes, instructions and great health team. He finally reached an agreement on criminal justice reform that should be a model for every country. His actions on climate change go beyond what other countries are doing. But his money to boost his opponent’s campaign was wrong. It may be legal, but it shows inhumanity, especially compared to his other actions.

A new third party for US politics – 3 essential reads on what this means

On By C86 Team

In June 2022, Gallup asked respondents to a US poll about their party affiliation. “In politics,” the researchers asked, “as of today, do you consider yourself a Republican, a Democrat, or an Independent?” The largest segment of participants – 43% – said they were independent. Republicans and Democrats accounted for 27% each. Note the lowercase “i” in independent. That means it’s not a party, like Democrats and Republicans are. Real political parties have policies, they have big bank accounts, they have organizations in every state, and they have a seat at the polls in elections. But if the leaders ofRead News

On By C86 Team

At a time when misinformation about the 2020 election is rampant, social media is the dominant political arena of the day, and big money is fueling campaigns more than ever, can a candidate sidestep it all and actually win? What’s more, can you create an entirely new political party around this idea?
