The election as a farce: Donald Trump and the rise of the autocrats
Claus Leggewie
2020-11-05 2:38 PM To elect a demagogue is always dangerous, but it does not condemn a country to the collapse of its democracy. Strong institutions can keep corrupt or autocratic leaders in check. That is exactly what the U.S. Constitution is designed to do, and for much of our history it has been successful in doing so. (text/plain)
Is Trump failing in the fight against the pandemic and the shattered economy?
Joachim Bischoff
2020-11-02 6:32 PM The state of the economy is rightly considered the most important factor influencing the re-election or de-election of an American president.

Treading in Deep Waters
Greg Godels
2020-10-02 5:36 PM As one good reason for voting for Biden: should he win, Democrats will not be able to continually blame all of our sorry politics and capitalism’s contradictions on Trump. And the experience of a Biden government might well hasten the defection from a moribund Democratic Party. (text/plain)
Trump's strategy of tension
Paul Simon
2020-09-29 11:01 AM "No one will be safe in Biden's America!" This was Donald Trump's message. The theme, for three days: Danger.

Kamala Harris seals Trump's re-election
Jacob Reimann and Thorsten Denkler
2020-08-17 5:36 PM The appointment of Kamala Harris as Biden's vice candidate is now the result of the Democratic establishment's pathological fear of anything that could even begin to smell left.

Sebastian Schindler
2020-02-21 4:26 PM Trump's politics is naive and skeptical, gullible and cynical.
