Reviewing Matt Stoller’s Goliath

Matt Stoller’s Goliath is one of the most important political books I have ever read. For those wanting to learn more about the closeness between the Democratic and Republican parties on corporate power, Goliath is a must.

Child Abusers Voted for Hillary Clinton

The verdict for this episode is: the criticism of political endorsements is becoming absurd.

When Running for Political Office Gender Matters

The verdict for this episode is: age, disability, and religion also matter. In this episode, I discuss the sad reality that many voters still consider things like gender, age, and disability when considering who to support for president. https://media.blubrry.com/jonathansimeonepodcast/content.blubrry.com/jonathansimeonepodcast/gender_matters.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 4:55 — 2.2MB) | Embedsubscribe to my podcast Apple… Continue reading When Running for Political Office Gender Matters

I am a Democratic Socialist

I have been interested in democratic socialism for a few years. I hadn’t officially joined the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), because I wasn’t sure I wanted to join an organization where I would have to lead the charge for accessibility. Recent events have convinced me that joining DSA is now a must.

Democrats Take Progressives for Granted

The verdict for this episode is: I will not unite behind a centrist candidate. In this episode, I discuss how the Democratic Party has never cared about progressives and progressive values, but the Democratic Party blames progressives when the Democratic Party’s centrist candidates lose. https://media.blubrry.com/jonathansimeonepodcast/content.blubrry.com/jonathansimeonepodcast/Never_Unite.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 7:36 — 3.5MB)… Continue reading Democrats Take Progressives for Granted

Reviewing the Triumph of Injustice

Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman are two economists at the University of California, Berkeley. Their book The Triumph of Injustice demonstrates how America’s system of taxation benefits the wealthy more than it has since the 1920s; in fact, the 400 richest Americans now pay less than any other group of Americans. You may have seen… Continue reading Reviewing the Triumph of Injustice

Thoughts on the October Democratic Debate

The October Democratic debate was interesting. It was different than the previous debates in several aspects. I don’t believe it will change the race much though. Warren will still be seen as on the rise. Biden will still be seen as falling. Sanders will be seen as having stabilized his campaign and still firmly in… Continue reading Thoughts on the October Democratic Debate

Why Political Polls Aren’t Reliable

Tired of the corporate-run media spinning the 2020 election narratives based on their precious polling, I wanted to see how said precious polling is done. As you will see most of us either choose not to participate or aren’t asked to participate. Unsurprisingly, most of those not chosen to participate are young, poor, and people… Continue reading Why Political Polls Aren’t Reliable

October Thoughts on the Democratic Primary

As always, I feel the need to remind people I’m supporting Bernie Sanders. His recent heart attack has done nothing to diminish my support of Sanders. Millions of Americans have had heart attacks and gone on to be very productive. With that out of the way, I want to add a few random thoughts on… Continue reading October Thoughts on the Democratic Primary
