She is fighting for climate change action all the time and calling out Trump, corporations and governments. She is definitely interested in Climate change. The hatred towards her is getting crazy. People are more outraged at a 16 year old girl bringing up climate change than corrupt governments and industries abusing the environment. .
This.

I really like this remix but Honey Dijon has very little merit. This song was screaming Remix me! since its release. It would have been a serious incompetent to miss his shot.

You’re so overdramatic, it’s ridiculous. All I asked for was for you to back up your claim that it was a “so-called visual album.” You can’t, got it. Do you ever get tired of complaining? Because we’re tired of reading your moaning about magazine covers FIVE months after the fact.
We got nineteen new songs, five music videos, and a critically-acclaimed tour. Her artistic passion is unmatched and we’re beyond lucky that she’s so engaged nearly 35 years into her career. What a waste of energy to continually bitch about the commercial aspect of this inspired project.

Madonna is a 60 year old woman doing pop music.
She also didn't send songs to radios because she knows they wouldn't play her.
You need to realize Madonna is not competing with anyone in their 20's, 30's or even 40's right now. She's beyond that stage and trying to think she should even do that is ridiculous!
She's still doing better numbers than every woman pre-Beyonce. Look at Mariah, Janet, Celine's english albums usually sell around the same as Madonna. Madonna has already surpassed sales from Britney, Christina Aguilera, etc...people 2 generations younger than her (Mariah etc were the ones before).
She also just gave us 6 music videos for the first time since ever. She doesn't need to do that shit anymore lol. She clearly is doing this because she loves it. If she wanted to just do money she'd re-release all her material, promote that, announce her first Greatest Hits tour and do stadiums with it. Clearly that's not where she is at fortunately.
It's reassuring to see that there are still people here who live in the real world and not in their delusional fantasy.

Oh please, as if any effects on her voice, production or promotion had anything to do with the lack of nominations.
Even before the release of the album, it was clear that she would have no nomination. These are again unrealistic expectations that some members of this forum have created for themselves. Even at the time of her peak of commercial and critical glory, she was barely recognized by the Grammys and never in the major categories. It's clearly not now that it's going to change as producers are desperate to bring back an audience that deserts this ridiculous and boring awards show for years.

Unbridled capitalism has destroyed Western economies where the lack of redistribution of money and resources, the decentralization of large sector of the economy and the unsolved economic crisis of 2008 that showed governments would do nothing to curb banks and finance. When people no longer believe in their institution and see their purchasing power diminish every year, they search to blame someone and populists always offer immigrants as culprits who are easy prey. History has been repeating itself for centuries. Sad.

Behind a far right voter there's a selfish person with zero empathy. They can be young, old, women, men.... They want others to be screwed so they live a bit better and they feel they have the right to do so: because they're born in the country or they have a certain religion or whatever.
This.

Yes, populism has unfortunately moved from angry white men to a frank broad of the population. They are not so many, but unfortunately people are going less and less to vote leaving room for fans of these populist movements that are going to the polls. And this is the risk that all Western countries have to expect for the coming years: far-right parties will eventually come to power because of the defection of the electorate of the other parties and because of the splitting of the moderate vote among several parties.

The future will be alright. There's one thing the politics and another one real life. And this shouldn't affect your travelling
I mean, Spain hosts 70 million tourists each year...
I know but If a far-right party comes into power in a country, believe me that it will not be anymore on my travel itinerary. It is a matter of principle and value. Well, I do not think it will be for tomorrow in your country, but the rise of the party in the 3rd rank excludes nothing for the future.
-
It is an infinite sadness to see this constant rise of the far-right in a country that has experienced four decades of dictatorship having ended only 45 years ago. I did well to plan a trip to Spain next year because I'm afraid the future will be even darker for this beautiful country than it has been since the economic crisis of 2008.

So true. Once Reagan eliminated “The Fairness Doctrine” the media went full for-profit. If you’ve ever seen the film “Network” made originally as a parody of news for profit before it was a reality. Look who owns the M$M now? Big corporations like GE, COMCAST, Sinclair Media (that’s another subject altogether) & Rupert Murdoch owning Fox News and trying to monopolize the airwaves for conservatives.
All of this, approved by the government is what lead up to what we have in the US media today. There’s no news anymore. It’s endless analysis of one piece of “news” they discuss endlessly all day into the night. They’re basically brainwashing everyone with their particular bent (regardless of network) they repeat over and over.
Drumpf is a manifestation (metastasis?) of greed, fascism and both parties are in on the joke. The joke is always on the people because he politicians are beholden to their corporate donors, not their constituents. It’s “bass ackwards” as my Dad used to say. It’s also a symptom of fascism when corporations start controlling government and gearing laws to suit their interests.
Network was such a fantastic and visionary movie about the breaking of journalistic power in the hands of corporations.

Trump has an approval rating in the 30s. But I don’t trust the democrats much either. They bungled a shoe-in election by not campaigning in key states HRC & DNC thought they had locked up. Drumpf was campaigning hard just about everywhere. Media following him around like moths to a flame giving him over a billion dollars worth of free air time. HRC could hardly fill a HS gymnasium. Saunders was filling stadiums too. But he wasn’t M$M-DNC friendly—so they ignored him.
You are so right. If the traditional media and social networks had stopped giving him a perpetual showcase for the last 4 years, we would not be there. Unfortunately, his new bullshit of the day attracts the clicks and the media take advantage of it. As for the media coverage of Sanders, it was obviously minimal, because his message goes against the backers who support these media. If Sanders had been the Democratic candidate, you can be sure that the media would have made little coverage of his campaign and reported the 5000 occurrences where Trump would shout the words Dangerous Socialist during his campaign. Moving the political agenda is so complicated in the US because of the bipartism that has been going on since the beginning of the country.

This “Sanders voter” will never not vote. And I won’t vote for drumpf. So please don’t lump us all together in the same basket. Voting based on fear is how we got drumpf. And the Electoral College and GOP gerrymandering. Hillary did win the popular vote but lost because of the vastly outdated EC. Which is a relic from before the Civil War to protect the white political establishment. The founding fathers didn’t trust an uneducated and mainly rural population to completely control the vote. And now the politicians and lawmakers kept it around for the same reasons—even though we’re a lot more educated and informed we are still governed by ancient laws.
I will not be so sure. Analysis of the results of the 2016 election showed that 1 out of 10 Sanders fans voted for Trump which could have cost 3 key states for Clinton (https://www.npr.org/2017/08/24/545812242/1-in-10-sanders-primary-voters-ended-up-supporting-trump-survey-finds). Yes, the gerrymandering and the desuet electoral system are the prime culprits of this political cul-de-sac, but the Democrats' search for the pure and perfect candidate and the refusal to settle behind the chosen candidate will cost them the election again. The situation is serious and the answer must be unified and strong to get rid of this dangerous lunatic.

Is America finally waking up?
Unfortunately, his base of 30% of illiterate, deplorable, racist and religious hypocrites who vote for him will continue to support him whatever happens. That's why the other American voters will have to rank behind the Democratic candidate and go out to vote massively next year. Unfortunately, all Sanders supporters will abstain from voting when he does not receive the nomination and it will open the door to a division of the vote that will re-elect this dangerous sociopath fool for another 4 years of destruction of our democracy.

The anger of the Chileans is legitimate and I hope they will maintain the pressure on the government. After having lived decades of dictatorship, they live today in a facade democracy without any redistribution of wealth.

it would be more more than time for people to drop that fake news. It’s not gonna happen. The song is not part of the show, her comment last week was clear that it would not happen and the schedule of the next few months makes it impossible anyway.

For the last 3 years, Pelosi has rejected any attempt of impeachment because she wanted to keep the Democrats in a strategic zone that has solidified the image of a party that did not understand its mistakes of the last presidential race. Standard political strategies do not apply against this man. The classical democratic candidates are also a mistake. Democrats must be aggressive, use all the legislative tools at their disposal and think outside the box for their presidential candidate. Joe is not that candidate.
-
Yes, the procedure should have been started a long time ago. No, they will not succeed, but it sends the right message that everything that has been said by the Democrats for 3 years was not fake news. Their lack of action until now sends the message to the people that the liar-in-chief was telling the truth by saying that all of this was democratic inventions.

I don't care about hits anymore.
I'm glade that Madonna is dedicated to her artistry. This phase of her rich career reminds me of David Bowie's last couple of albums which is great.
Art over chasing hits.

POTUS lies several times a day and his lies threaten our democracies and are toxic to the general atmosphere of our societies, but it is the mistakes of a 16 year old girl who tries to be an agent of change that requires to be exposed? We really live in a shitty society where people no longer have any idea who their enemy is and who they have to fight against.
