That's what happens when you're a corrupt, lying candidate who calls a large portion of Americans 'deplorables' then passes out in 77* weather amidst rumors of poor health conditions


Good point. Trump never lies and is obviously not corrupt in any way whatsoever.

A minimum wage that allows you to actually live, crazy right? It's standard in Europe, in the UK right now we're going towards a living wage in 2020.

I personally don't agree with free university but the money is there. The government would just rather give it away in corporate welfare and military spending, which I guess you're fine with. Again, it's pretty common for countries to have free university.


You realize that if companies are not taxed to death, they can raise wages, expand and hire more people right?

I cannot believe that you would rather have less people working with a higher minimum wage and less hours than...

Having more people working towards self-sustainability and bettering their own lives.

There's a city in Washington state that tried this and a fuck load of businesses closed.

Many companies cut hours because the companies would have closed.

If they had closed, then NO ONE WOULD HAVE A JOB!!!

The unemployment level is designed never be under 5%, so all these people saying "just go get a job" are ignoring the fact that the system is designed so that some people can not have jobs, it gives a pool of casual workers who are easy to exploit and as an added benefit it gives governments some one to demonize.

No need to coddle these deplorables on the alt-right. Appeasement is never good with those types of people. They are enemies of multiculturalism and this is a multicultural society. Any racist ideology, even if they are calling themselves "racialists" now (they aren't even trying to hide it) should be treated with the contempt it deserves.

These people are against belief in the inherent dignity and worthy of human beings. They aren't 'conservatives' in any real sense of the word, not in the American context of it anyway.

Trump is barely even a man. Why trust the White House to a person who can't commit to anything including beliefs, values, and even family?

Clinton called a group largely defined by the vague notion of white supremacy deplorables, while Trump has more or less insinuated indirectly or said directly that all non-whites are either ghetto-living drug addicts who do nothing but go to prison, eat on food stamps, and not work, rapists coming from Mexico, or terrorists coming from the Middle East. He even managed to make fun of retarded people in front of a crowd and on cameras....

You're truly comfortable voting for Eric Cartman over Wendy Testeburger, even if Wendy is a whiney liberal?


The United States has had success integrated a multi-ethnic population into a mostly homogenous culture.

Multiculturalism is toxic.

Multiculturalism and nationalism have fought each other since ancient Rome. They keep each other in check.

Where is the incentive for firms to raise wages? They'll make more profit and just dish it out to shareholders and bonuses for executives.

I know in theory workers would bargain for higher wages, but my point is rather that it doesn't work out like that in the real world.

As long as there is a large group of unemployed people within the urban underclass things like wage increases would not have to be worried about.

The reason we keep so many people systematically unemployed is to keep wages low.
