Who here is pro trade?

Globalism in its purest implies I am free to sell coca cola in Argentina and any Argentinian is free to travel to and apply for job at any coca-cola factory.

Free movement of goods and labor.

Obviously we have a partial implementation. Trade is probably free within EU ... Between NAFTA members.. Otherwise we have restrictions of all sorts .. Visas / Tarriiffs of many kinds.

Trump seems to anti globalization ( except when it suits him) .. I think Republicans ( the ones who really matter.. Not the idiot base) are generally for globalization .. What is not to love for them about market access and cheaper labor?

Dems have played along.. But I don't think we have a solid opinion one way or another.

What do you all think?

Fuck Facebook

That's all.

Why does name calling by Trump sting?

Is it because when Trump talks like a demented juvenile fuck, people in the room laugh and thus validate him.

Or is it because it shocks our sense of common decency that anyone can behave like that?

I think the tide will turn on Republicans against trump.

Just take my town .. We are so red that the only election that mattered was the republican Primary.

Last year we won our first council seat.

What happened this year? We swept them. We won both council seats and Mayoral race.

Republicans in my town are shell shocked. The normally noisy town forum has gone pin drop silent.

Yes the Republican Mayor is a bully and lots of folks dont like him... But we know and they know .. Democrats got a huge assist out of Trump.

At some point it will dawn on wealthy suburban Republicans that Trump is a fucking liability. They will be angry and that anger is going to bubble up.

Wait and watch.

And get the popcorn ready

Don Lemon: Which Caravan did the Thousand Oaks Shooter Belong to?

What can we do to make people vote?

I busted my tail..going door to door. To talk about issues, and candidates. I have 2 jobs and is difficult for me to make time. Still I did. I knocked on doors in rain, wind and cold temperatures.

And yet 50% are so disengaged? Many have zero comprehension. They cannot see the difference between the individualistic ( typically what is in it for me, one vote make no difference) and collective aggregated effects of non voting.


Short of paying people to vote what else can be done?

To those despairing about last night..

The worst thing you can do is to lose morale and give up the fight .. Because that is what the BASTARDS on the other side are hoping for.

Rest , Recuperate and double up to knock the stuffing out of those fucking assholes.

This a long long fight... History /Justice / Truth is on our side.

And Demographics too. We are young and diverse. They are pale male & frail.

The guys living in fear/hate will shrivel up and Die unloved.

We will win. We will thrive.
