Combating Trump: The Importance of Context

Posted October 31, 2024 by Christopher Wait in Community Voices

We have all heard, by now, the concept of “sane washing”, as it pertains to the former president. This is a unique phenomenon, whereby the mainstream media condenses and cleans up statements by Trump to make them appear more coherent and less rambling than they are, presenting a more palatable version of the former president…

Mal Hyman: A Stalwart Warrior for the Party

I’ve been in South Carolina only a short amount of time, just over a year. Politically, I knew there was a hard-leaning Republican base here, but I also knew I could not be the only Democrat moving into or living in Horry County. Since getting involved as a volunteer for the Horry County Democratic Party…

Redefining Alpha: How Harris and Walz Are Setting a New Standard for Strength and Authenticity

I was listening to a podcast recently, and my ears perked up when they played a clip of Joe Rogan offering praise for the Harris-Walz campaign. He detailed how the campaign has taken off since the switch to Harris, and, appropriately, gave her credit for a debate win. Well, he praised her “handlers”, which was…

In June 2024, most of us were worried about Biden. We love Joe – he’s done excellent work as President. Most of his work is the simple, boring work of politics – of any job. The less you know about something, and it works anyway – that’s what we want. But for those of us…

By Don Kohn. The SC Democratic convention in Columbia this past weekend was a great kick off to the Feb 29 primary election.

By Stefan Varner. The resolution passed by the U.S. House of Representatives condemning anti-Semitism and other forms of bigotry was extremely disappointing as it omitted reference to many Americans who every day suffer the consequences of discrimination and bigotry – the LGBTQ community.

Dear Trump Supporters: I was surprised not to hear celebratory fireworks Friday night when the partial government shutdown happened at midnight.
