Brasil y los años de Lula

En 2002 Lula decidió firmar un documento público –la “Carta al Pueblo Brasileño”–, en la que explicitó la intensión de hacer una serie de concesiones al gran capital.

How Al Gore's Politics Alienated the Democratic Base

Nader and the Green Party oppose the Electoral College and support presidential elections based upon a popular nationwide vote. Gore and the Democrats, by contrast, supported the archaic and undemocratic Electoral College system. It is ironic, then, that the Democrats continue to blame Nader and the Greens for Bush's election that came as a result of an unfair electoral system that they supported and Greens opposed.

Gore was one of the most ardent Democratic supporters of Reagan's right-wing foreign policy agenda. In 1991, he was among the minority of Senate Democrats who supported the Gulf War. He was an outspoken supporter of a series of right-wing Israeli governments, opposing the Palestinians' right to statehood alongside Israel or even allowing Palestinians into the peace process.

Gore not only supported the death penalty, but made it far more difficult falsely convicted death row inmates to appeal their cases in federal courts. He supported the repeal of federal guarantees of assistance to poor children. He supported Federal Reserve policies of keeping wages low to prop up stock prices and taxing earnings from the stock market at lower rates then income from actual work.
