I empathise with West.
He's a Marxist who wishes to see a complete structural change of the current system.

He's right in that Hillary and Neoliberalism are awful.
In terms of economics there is hardly a difference between Hillary and Trump.

HOWEVER, in terms of social policy Hillary and Trump couldn't be more different. But the thing West understands, as a scholar, is the fact that you can't solve these social problems without tackling economic ones.

Hillary may have pushed for progressive policies, as many of these neoliberals do, but if they're also perpetuating laseiz faire capitalism, well then their progressivism is simply pandering for votes.

That being said Hillary is still better than Trump.

Provide me with data showing that wealth and other standard of living gaps between blacks and whites get closed with Dems in charge:hubie:. Show me some candidates and I throw some money their way

Whites w/o graduating High School have a higher median wealth than blacks that finish university. If Dems can't come of with something that can change this, among other things, than I've got nothing for them
Provide me data showing voting third party has helped the advancement of blacks.

Use comparative data between democrats and republic.

Ive said it time and time again and I'll say it again

If I lived in America, even in one of the counties that decided the election, I would have still NEVER voted for Hillary Clinton, not even if I was the deciding vote. fukk her and fukk everything she pretended to stand for.

None of what you're saying makes sense.

Picking politicians is a negotiation.

You always compromise.

You want a 10.

Hillary would give you a 7.

You didn't want to concede to a 7. You kept ranting and raving about a 7.

Y'all let Trump in, and now you get a 2.

You started at 10.

Now you're at 2.

Thats not a successful negotiation.

How many times can you post the same thing. It's just spam at this point.

The only thing I disagree with West is equating Hillary and Trump is the same

They are both establishment picks that lean toward their corporate interests and is corrupted but its very clear Hill got a clear step above trump in terms of ACTUALLY knowing policy experience and I'd personally trust her to be able to do the job as president

Do I believe most of the things she said on the campaign ? Hell no but I do think it is important to make that difference and stop falling into this idea that their equally

At this point in time, every thing Trump has critized Hillary over he has out done her on 100x over

He's violating the amulument clause by influencing and accepting foreign agents to stay at his property

He's trips to maralago takes government funds and puts it into his pocket

His has flip flopped on nearly everything policy wise except the TTP

Now he's literally just fired the head of FBI for investigating him

Let's be real y'all, y'all think Hillary would equate to this incompetent fool if she was elected?

Marxism, is ...well...stupid

Wrong

Theres a huge difference. Trump doesn't believe in regulation.

HOWEVER, in terms of social policy Hillary and Trump couldn't be more different. But the thing West understands, as a scholar, is the fact that you can't solve these social problems without tackling economic ones.
Neoliberalism is why Cornel is employed by universities despite having to go get a real job

Hillary may have pushed for progressive policies, as many of these neoliberals do, but if they're also perpetuating laseiz faire capitalism, well then their progressivism is simply pandering for votes.

Theres nothing wrong with supporting fair and regulated capitalism
That being said Hillary is still better than Trump

You don't know what she stands for, then

You're just an uneducated non-american
