Honestly the Democrats have nobody to blame but themselves, they dismissed large parts of the population as racist idiots who's problems weren't real or important and they nominated a candidate who was seen as being a big cause of the problems they were experiencing in the first place, in the end it came back to bite them in the ass.

Even Bernie would have been a better candidate than Hillary.

if you are someone who wants to stop Trump or Brexit, your goal should be to communicate effectively with the people who believe it is in their interest to support Trump or Brexit. I think in general there is no effort on the part of media elites to communicate with those people and do anything other than tell them that they are primitive, racist, and stupid. And if the message being sent is that you are primitive, racist, and stupid, and not that you have been fucked over in ways that are really bad and need to be rectified, of course those people are not going to be receptive to the message coming from the people who view them with contempt and scorn.

Whites without a college degree — men and women — made up a third of the 2016 electorate. Trump won them by 39 percentage points, according to exit polls

It's almost as if telling anybody who doesn't agree with you that they're a racist moron isn't a very convincing argument. Who woulda thought?

unsafeWindow doesn't have the same access in Chrome as it does in Firefox.

Something like this should work in both :

// ==UserScript==
// @name tf2center allow adblock
// @namespace tf2center
// @version 1
// @match *://tf2center.com/*
// @grant none
// ==/UserScript==

function allowAdblock() {
noAds = true;
}

function inject(func) {
var source = func.toString();
var script = document.createElement('script');
script.innerHTML = "("+ source +")()";
document.body.appendChild(script);
}

inject(allowAdblock);

unsafeWindow.noAds = true;

Put that in a greasemonkey script and you can run adblock on tf2center without it redirecting you.

Only if the "WORLD" constitutes Europe and USA only. The USA is to the right of Europe but it is for sure left of China/Russia/The Middle East et al.

Or do you really believe China and India are to the left of the USA?

I'm not sure if you're actually stupid or just pretending. Left and right are relative terms, if you are to the left of the majority of the population you are on the left.

This is the economic policy of the left in the USA today. Sanders supporters do not represent the majority of left leaning politicians.

Bernie isn't the democratic candidate. He didn't get enough support, Hillary did and she has consistently voted for free trade agreements (even though she now admits they were bad for Americans).

In the same way the left have suddenly become free market capitalists who do whatever large corporations and banks tell them, screwing over the poorest in society in the name of higher profits. It's weird.

It's also weird how you guys are pro NAFTA and TPP when even Hillary opposes them these days and has said they were bad for American workers (after she championed them when they were being proposed).

Which is why you have trade tarriffs to increase the cost of exporting labour to cheaper countries, protecting your own workers.

Also these trade deals are not mutually beneficial, only the big corporations benefit. Workers in these countries get a shitty deal, it's why nobody in Europe wants the TTIP but American and European politicians will keep pushing it as it's good for large businesses.

"The EU has admitted that TTIP will probably cause unemployment as jobs switch to the US, where labour standards and trade union rights are lower.

Examples from other similar bi-lateral trade agreements around the world support the case for job losses. The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) between the US, Canada and Mexico caused the loss of one million US jobs over 12 years, instead of the hundreds of thousands of extra that were promised.

...

TTIP’s biggest threat to society is its inherent assault on democracy. One of the main aims of TTIP is the introduction of Investor-State Dispute Settlements (ISDS), which allow companies to sue governments if those governments’ policies cause a loss of profits. In effect it means unelected transnational corporations can dictate the policies of democratically elected governments."

It's easy to say oh yeah globalism is the future theres no other choice when you are a 20 year old college student with no responsibilities. Globalists don't offer much of a future to a 45 year old blue collar worker who's industry is being moved to some third world shithole where they work for pennies an hour. I doubt they find much comfort in being told "well thats just the way it is now, it's cheaper over there, nothing we can do". I wonder if everyone will be so sanguine in 20-30 years time when China and India are pumping out up to 100 million graduates every year who will do your job for a fraction of the price, will you expect the govt to protect your job then?
