[OFF TOPIC] Politics Thread

Whelp, I guess we’re following the lead of great democracies like the USSR, PR China, and Cuba by teaching propaganda in the classrooms now. 

I feel it’s worth noting that California recently made it mandatory for all students to take an “Ethnic Studies/History” class before graduating high school. Colleges in the state also require a “diversity credit”, which means that you have to take a class that focuses on the study of a minority groups influence on a subject (Women in Rock’n Roll for instance, or Intercultural Communication, History of Hip Hop, etc.).

I can’t even believe what I’m reading.

How dare he?  Everyone know that only Marxist America-hating propaganda should be allowed in Schools!

Yeah, liberals have a strong hold over the education system, so no wonder there is a hissy fit as soon as Trump starts meddling in.

My electoral campaign is finally over. It was hard... I do speech/events in a lot of places, i meet thousands of people and it was quite fun.

For me it was a sort of frist time and the campaign was almost impossible becouse no any political party decided to support the NO at the referendum.

 

Well, let's hope to do a bigger and stronger campaign in 2021 for the local elections and maybe, who know, for the 2023 general election.

 

 

(Technically isn't really over yet, I have a last event this evening )

This time i was one of the coordinators of the referendum campaign in my provincia.

 

I had the opportunity to be a candidate to municipal Council in my local town, but I had to rejected becouse I'm working on a bigger political project (Volt Europa)

And so the US Presidential Election begins!

Is there any list of things that qualify for that? Because the three examples sound....not very interesting (to me, surely to some people it does)
