Absolutely agree.

I'm sick of "the left" being identified solely by social issues. Class politics are back in a big way, and that's where the working class left are undefeated.
We need left wing and left leaning parties, like the Democrats are meant to be, appealing to collective interests, not the specific interests of minority identities who often have nothing in common.

By globalism you're actually referring to free trade, not internationalist socialsm. So this is actually a huge "**** you" to neoliberal capitalism, so I'm right on board with it. It shows Americans are waking up to class politics, in fact Trump specifically said he wants to govern for the working class.

Cultural marxism isn't a real thing.

As a communist this is a better result long term than a Clinton victory. Americans are finally waking up to class politics, that can only be a good thing.

I just think Trump the individual is a bit loose.
Cultural Marxism does exist.

Unfettered immigration from 3rd world nations, constant warfare and political correctness is bringing the west to her knees. We need a strong leader who does not give a damn about the media and end it all.

Trump is the man for the job, I cannot wait until Europe and Australia go through a similar phase. We must never let the West be overrun by savages from the 3rd world.

The other choice is Clinton. Seriously anyone else from the Democrats would've smashed Trump. The Americans got what they deserved.
That's right on the money. The Democrats forwarded the worst candidate they could. No one to blame but themselves if they lose to Trump.

Would help if they actually nominated who the majority of Dems wanted as their nominee for a start.

The super-delegates have a lot to answer for.
Sanders and Berniebros got shamed for being white and male despite the fact Bernie's politics aimed at all of the middle and lower classes regardless of race.

You don't see the logic (which I'm pretty sure was actually about his ties that were being made before he started running, not his hats)? "It's cheaper for me to make hats in China, so I will, but I will make it as president so that it is cheaper to make the in the United States."
By paying people the same that they do in China, or by raising tariffs massively.

Apparently trade unionists in the rust belt voted for Trump to the tune of about 70%.

Much like it was said during the primaries, Sanders and Trump both tapped into a portion of the American electorate that has been ignored: former trade unionists who used to have great jobs and were screwed by the free market.

Sanders would have been their preferred candidate, but why would they vote for Clinton when they have already been screwed by neoliberal economics? Trump might not be ideal, but his talk of bringing manufacturing back to the USA was worth a shot from their point of view.

Anyway, in the spirit of playing nice, moving away from pointing out how terrible some posters are.

Hillary wins Florida, North Carolina and Nevada. End vote looks like below (give or take an electoral vote or two based on split allocations in that a couple of states do). Wouldn't surprise me if she also wins Ohio and pushed Trump under 200 EV, which by anyones measure is smashing.

The irony is I have a FaceBook feed with people upset that Clinton was the more qualified candidate than Trump.

Pointing out Sanders was more qualified than Hillary and had a better senate voting track record didn't go down particularly well.
