New poll gives evidence that the establishment upgrades the identity-politics weapon to crush Bernie Sanders and his progressive movement


Another suspicious poll came out to promote various establishment options against Bernie Sanders. As the Hill reports:

President Trump trails Michelle Obama, Oprah and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) by double digits in potential 2020 presidential races, according to a new poll.

Trump also trails several other female candidates in potential races, although by slimmer margins, the Axios poll conducted by SurveyMonkey found.

The poll shows Trump trailing by 13 points to Obama among registered voters polled, by 12 points to Oprah and by 10 points to Harris. He's also down by 9 point to Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) among registered voters surveyed, by 6 points to Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) and by 5 points to his 2016 opponent, Hillary Clinton.

The closest race would be between Trump and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), the poll found. Warren has a 2-point lead among registered voters, according to the poll.

The poll includes only women from the Democratic camp that could beat Donald Trump. This provides a good evidence that a part of the establishment seeks to bring back identity politics in the electoral game.

It seems that some establishment mechanisms sense that Joe Biden wouldn't be capable to beat Bernie Sanders in the next Democratic primaries. As the establishment has absolutely nothing to offer to the ordinary people, apart from a 'business as usual' situation, the recruitment of highly recognizable female figures appears to be another trick to distract voters from the real political issues.

Furthermore, the poll appears to be carefully set up.

For example, two highly recognizable African-American women (Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey), are beating Trump with the highest percentage, while the woman who is closer to the progressive movement, Elizabeth Warren, beats him with the lowest (what a coincidence).

It seems here that we have an upgraded version of the identity-politics weapon. Guess what will happen to anyone who will insist to endorse, or vote Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primaries with a potential rival like Michelle Obama, or Oprah Winfrey. He will be immediately accused by the corporate media propaganda not only as a misogynist (like in the case of Hillary Clinton), but also as a racist. That is, double smear against the real progressives.

Just a reminder, Michelle Obama literally hugged the war criminal George W. Bush. The US president who started the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and spread chaos in the Middle East. The one who bailed-out the Wall Street mafia that was responsible for the 2008 financial disaster.



And some info about the website that carried out this latest poll: “Axios (stylized as AXIOS) is an American news and information website founded in 2016 by Politico co-founder Jim VandeHei, Politico's former chief White House correspondent, Mike Allen, and former Politico chief revenue officer, Roy Schwartz. The site's name is based on the Greek: ἄξιος (áxios), meaning "worthy". It officially launched in 2017. The company had raised $30 million, as of November 2017.

Capitalism & Genocide - Yanis Varoufakis Speech at the Gaza Tribunal, 23rd October 2025, Istanbul

Yanis Varoufakis   On 23rd October, Yanis Varoufakis testified in front of the Jury of Conscience in the context of the Gaza Tribunal. His speech focused on the economic forces underpinning the genocide of the Palestinian people. In particular, he spoke on the manner in which capitalist dynamics have historically fuelled the white settler colonial project and, more recently, how the accumulation of a new form of capital - which he calls cloud capital - has accelerated, deepened and amplified the economic forces powering and propelling the machinery of genocide.

A response to misinformation on Nicaragua: it was a coup, not a ‘massacre’

There is so much misinformation in mainstream corporate media about recent events in Nicaragua that it is a pity that Mary Ellsberg’s article for Pulse has added to it with a seemingly leftish critique. Ellsberg claims that recent articles, including from this website, often “ paint a picture of the crisis in Nicaragua that is dangerously misleading. ” Unfortunately, her own article does just that. It looks at the situation entirely from the perspective of those opposing Daniel Ortega’s government while whitewashing their malevolent behavior and downplaying the levels of US support they have relied on. Her piece is an incomplete depiction of what is happening on the ground, ignoring many salient facts that have come to light and which have been outdated by recent events. The following is a brief response to Ellsberg’s main points from someone who lives in Nicaragua and has observed the situation directly and intimately: https://grayzoneproject.com/2018/08/15/a-res...

Munich Shock: Rubio’s Vision of a New Western Century & World Order

GVS Deep Dive   At the 2026 Munich Security Conference, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered one of the most consequential foreign policy speeches of the year. Framed as a call for Western renewal, his address went far beyond NATO reassurance — outlining a vision of sovereignty, industrial consolidation, and civilizational confidence that may signal the end of the post-Cold War global order.   Is this the beginning of a Second Cold War?   Is the West reorganizing around bloc competition?   Or are we witnessing the construction of a new world order? 

Stephen Hawking confirms: The problem is Capitalism, not robots!

globinfo freexchange According to world famous physicist Stephen Hawking, the rising use of automated machines may mean the end of human rights – not just jobs. But he’s not talking about robots with artificial intelligence taking over the world, he’s talking about the current capitalist political system and its major players. On Reddit, Hawking said that the economic gap between the rich and the poor will continue to grow as more jobs are automated by machines, and the owners of said machines hoard them to create more wealth for themselves. The insatiable thirst for capitalist accumulation bestowed upon humans by years of lies and terrible economic policy has affected technology in such a way that one of its major goals has become to replace human jobs. If we do not take this warning seriously, we may face unfathomable corporate domination. If we let the same people who buy and sell our political system and resources maintain control of automated technology, the...
