November 10, 2016 Staff, www.rt.com ,
By Staff of RT - Thousands across the US in major cities are protesting the election of Donald Trump. Hundreds in Union Square in Manhattan, New York are showing their opposition, with women chanting, “P***y grabs back!” There were also reports of flag burnings, vandalism and arrests. Protests are taking place coast to coast, with demonstrations reported in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, Seattle, DC, Austin, Boston and Chicago. The large crowds have mostly remained peaceful.

Why Trump Won; Why Clinton Lost

November 10, 2016 Robert Parry, www.consortiumnews.com , ,
By Robert Parry for Consortium News - In the end, Hillary Clinton became the face of a corrupt, arrogant and out-of-touch Establishment, while Donald Trump emerged as an almost perfectly imperfect vessel for a populist fury that had bubbled beneath the surface of America. There is clearly much to fear from a Trump presidency, especially coupled with continued Republican control of Congress. Trump and many Republicans have denied the reality of climate change

Trump: Who Really Knows?

November 10, 2016 Bruce K. Gagnon, www.space4peace.blogspot.com ,
By Bruce K. Gagnon for Organizing Notes - It was a late night at our house. It would be an understatement to say I was surprised that Trump pulled off a massive victory in the election. I surely didn't see this coming. I figured that with the mainstream media support for Clinton and the support from the banksters, the neo-cons, the military industrial complex and the oil companies it was a certainty that Trump would go down to defeat.

Why Trump Won–And What’s Next

November 10, 2016 Jack Rasmus, www.jackrasmus.com ,
By Jack Rasmus for Predicting the Global Economic Crisis - “US real estate billionaire, Donald Trump, is president-elect. In an age when 97% of all GDP-national income gains since 2010 have accrued to the wealthiest 1%–of which Trump is one—how could American voters come to elect Trump? How could they vote for a candidate that they simultaneously were giving a ‘negative rating’ of 60% to 80%? That fundamental question will ever haunt this election.

American Irrationalism

November 2, 2016 Chris Hedges, www.truthdig.com ,
By Chris Hedges for Truth Dig - There is no shortage of signs of impending environmental catastrophe, including the melting of the polar ice caps and the rise of atmospheric carbon to above 400 parts per million. The earth’s sixth mass extinction is underway. It is not taking place because of planetary forces. Homo sapiens is orchestrating it. Americans are at the same time bankrupting themselves by waging endless and unwinnable wars. We have allowed our elites to push more than half the U.S. population into poverty through deindustrialization.

Protests Spoil Opening Of Trump Hotel In DC

October 29, 2016 Staff, www.answercoalition.org ,
By Staff of Answer Coalition - Hundreds of protesters gathered in front of the new Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., on Oct. 26 to show their outrage at Donald Trump's constant displays of racism, sexism and countless other forms of bigotry as well as his refusal to negotiate with workers who have voted to form a union at another one of his hotels. Trump had planned a ribbon-cutting ceremony where he would gloat about his expanding wealth, but was forced to retreat inside to avoid the protest.

Yes, Our Elections Are Rigged

October 24, 2016 Mark Dunlea, www.greenpapers.net , ,
By Mark Dunlea for Green Papers - We will never have an accurate vote count on election day as long as we leave the counting (and administration) to the two major parties, who throughout our history have repeatedly stolen votes to benefit those in power. Robert Caro, the Pulitzer-prize winning biographer of President Johnson, wrote about how LBJ got elected to the US Senate after he realized that he had allowed the Republicans to do a better job of vote theft in his first run

Hillary Clinton, The Democratic Party Plantation

October 22, 2016 Solomon Comissiong, www.blackagendareport.com , ,
By Solomon Comissiong for The Black Agenda Report - The Democrats and Republicans are both proven evils. “Donald Trump is a devoted racist and xenophobe and Hillary Clinton is an imperialist who has a track record of destroying human life.” Now if the time for Black people to “take possession of the politics within our communities and put forth our own revolutionary candidates who represent our collective interests.”

Extremist Militias Recruiting In Fear Of Clinton Winning Election

October 19, 2016 Jason Wilson, www.theguardian.com , ,
By Jason Wilson for The Guardian - Extremist surge got national attention during the Oregon militia standoff and has continued to rise with Trump, with his legitimization of white nationalist politics. In the past 12 months, Jessica Campbell has had her car’s fuel line cut and its wheel nuts loosened. Late last year, she had a GPS tracker surreptitiously attached to her vehicle. She is now accustomed to being tailed by unfamiliar vehicles on Interstate 5 near her home in Cottage Grove, just outside Eugene,Oregon.

The Democratic Swindle: Hillary Or Trump?

October 18, 2016 Luciana Bohne, www.counterpunch.org , , ,
By Luciana Bohne for Counter Punch - We have political democracy in America but scarce economic democracy. We have the political structures of democracy, but they teeter on foundations of exceptions. These check the advance of genuine democracy from below. We have democracy for the few and exclusion for the many. We have socialism for capital and capitalism for the rest. Every political right or freedom, moreover, is provisional.

Donald Trump: The Dress Rehearsal For Fascism

October 18, 2016 Chris Hedges, www.truthdig.com , ,
By Chris Hedges for Truth Dig - Americans are not offered major-party candidates who have opposing political ideologies or ideas. We are presented only with manufactured political personalities. We vote for the candidate who makes us “feel” good about him or her. Campaigns are entertainment and commercial vehicles to raise billions in advertising revenue for corporations. The candidate who can provide the best show gets the most coverage.

Newsletter: Elections Expose the Oligarchs

October 9, 2016 Kevin Zeese and Margaret Flowers, www.PopularResistance.org , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,
By Kevin Zeese and Margaret Flowers for Popular Resistance. The 2016 presidential election has shown how the duopoly, the two parties that represent big business interests and the wealthiest, are corrupted in ways that prevent the people’s voices from being heard, their necessities being met and the planet being protected from human greed. During the campaigns, leaks have given people a behind-the-scenes look at how the parties operate and research on the candidates shows their personal failures. They give voters an image of elites who behave as if the law does not apply to them and who put themselves ahead of the public interest. Last Friday was a day of embarrassment for both the Republican and Democratic Parties. A tape showing Donald Trump bragging about sexual assault in lewd ways has gotten the bulk of attention, but Wikileaks also released thousands of pages of The Podesta Emails, 2,060 emails and 170 attachments. John Podesta is the ultimate insider.

N. Philly Lays Out An Unwelcome Mat For Trump

September 4, 2016 Jason Nark and Mensah M. Dean, www.philly.com ,
By Jason Nark and Mensah M. Dean for Philly.com. The protest of Trump's visit to North Philadelphia coalesced at Brown and Broad Streets, growing to over 100 people by the time the nominee slipped inside a back door on Carlisle Street at 2 p.m. Protesters included Juntos, a Latino immigrant advocacy organization, which prepared long cloth signs, stenciled with black chain-link fence and redbrick designs, and the words #wall off Trump. Erica Mines of the Philadelphia Coalition for Real Justice also directed her anger at the people who invited Trump to Philadelphia. "We are tired of them handing our communities over to our oppressors on a silver platter," she told the crowd. A few blocks away, at Brown and 13th Street, Carla Griffin, 54, sat on her front porch and wondered how anyone could take seriously Trump's brief dip into Philadelphia. "He's an embarrassment. This is a photo opportunity for him," Griffin said. "This is what politics has been reduced to."

Newsletter: #NoHoneymoon, A Presidency Of Protest

By Kevin Zeese and Margaret Flowers for Popular Resistance. The task of the movement for economic, racial and environmental justice is much bigger than the presidential election. Our job is to build people power to ensure that no matter who is the next president, the people’s voices are heard and our demands are part of the political agenda. We urge organizers and advocates across the nation to begin to plan a campaign beginning in early 2017 and carrying on through the inauguration to ensure that right from the beginning the people’s voices are a dominant narrative. The #NoHoneymoon campaign will take various forms in communities across the country. Talk to your networks of activists and plan what would work best in your community. The creativity and energy that comes from diverse leadership has surprised the nation before and can do so again.

Act Now To Open The Debates!

August 15, 2016 Jeff Cohen, www.commondreams.org , , , , , ,
By Jeff Cohen for Common Dreams. Debates between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will not do much to enlighten the political discourse in the United States. The US public deserves more and 2016 is the year for the public to insist on more. The phony "Commission" on Presidential Debates is really a Democratic Party-Republican Party corporation funded by big business. They are not a "Commission" in any sense of the word, they are a corporation using the word commission as a disguise. The two parties and big business should not be deciding who is included in the presidential debates. Below is an article from Jeff Cohen of Roots Action focusing on uring the media to insist on inclusive 4-person debates. It is a useful petition but without much more it will be ineffective. The corporate media makes hundreds of millions in profits from the elections. They will not go against the two establishment parties that buy advertising on their networks. More is needed. The path to inclusion is not going to come from the media which has been consistently complicit in the debate charade. More is needed. The path will come if we can convince one of the two candidates to urge inclusion of all four campaigns -- the Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians and Greens -- in the debates. Stein-Baraka wrote an open letter to Trump and Clinton yesterday calling for four-war debates.
