I hate to break it to you but Chinese factory jobs aren't coming back to America. There's a reason why even Trump himself outsourced the manufacture of his clothing line to Bangladesh, India and China. Globalization isn't going anywhere either.

He was right. Imagine the after tax profit margins if he could have trimmed headcount by 30%. More if he used illegal labor, although the raping might have gone up.

oh yeah def that's a brilliant argument in support of TPP: "poo poo sucks but it's here to stay might as well roll in it"

also the bit where it allows foreign companies to sue the USA for lost profits if we pass environmental regulation or anything that might impact their profits

that's def an awesome thing there where we ignore our national sovereignty and let some chucklefuck decide 'yes the USA deprived you of $100b by passing carbon emissions laws and they have to pay you now" lmao

I recognize that it isn't generally wise for Trump to go after a soldier's family in a country where the military is like a religion in itself, but I 100% guarantee that a lot of Democrats that are otherwise horrified at Trump saw the super pro-war convention topped off by that spectacle and were like "omfg".

Most of America disliking Hillary and not being excited for her as a candidate doesn't necessarily mean she's not massively favored in an electoral sense (especially in a hypothetical election held tomorrow). However since we're also just post-convention and going through several news/outrage cycles a week, I'd probably suggest everyone chill the gently caress out out re: polls showing inevitable victory/loss for their favored candidate.

It is pretty much the way of things I'm afraid. Whatever agrarian self sufficient paradise you're envisioning in your head as an alternative to the way the world works now isn't going to happen. The world is too interconnected. The American public can scream all they want about NAFTA and TPP, but to 99% of them they're just scary acronyms used as a talisman to focus their rage on - the second these same people start finding their Walmart tubesocks going up in price because Emperor Trump started a trade war with China they'll be marching in the streets baying for blood.

See how you just a) ignore my specific criticisms in favor of again just talking about globalization in broad terms (as if I even ever said globalization was a bad thing in general) and then b) flippantly inform me that I'm an idealist/optimist and I better just vote for D?


and you wonder why HRC's numbers are lagging

Bro TPP sucks for numerous reasons and it's not because I hate globalization and want small anarcho-communes. Globalization is the only way forward in the face of environmental change, technological changes, etc but it doesn't mean we need to bend over and spread cheeks for the big dick of billionaires who want to make another quarter point this reporting period.

e: and it's kinda insulting that you're just telling me TPP is a scary talisman I know nothing about while refusing to address my specific concerns about it

You realize that there are positions you can take between completely unregulated trade and autarky right? Those policies aren't talismans, they're specific government policies that hurt wages and led to wealth transfer to those at the top of the economic ladder. They've been bad for specific American workers, and less good than they should have been for the economy as a whole because of the way they've helped undermine our demand driven economy. The proper policy is income/wealth redistribution rather than eliminating the trade deals, but people are quite correct that those policies are actually hurting them. A hypothetical trade war would hurt too, but part of the reason it would be so bad is because of the damage pre-existing trade treaties have already inflicted (in conjunction with other economic policies), and not signing the TPP is pretty far away from doing that (especially since a major point of the TPP is to gently caress China geopolitically).
