Also Trump in November
- malka 10y agorelevant username. I doubt he'll win the general election though. But it wont be an easy win for Hillary imo.
- oneloop 10y agoCareful. We also doubted the Brexit would win and the chavs used that to fuck us over.
- burnitdown 10y agoSo 51% of people in the UK are chavs?
- ced 10y agoNot following US politics, so honest question: is Trump campaigning against income inequality?
- adrenalinelol 10y agoIt goes something like: He's anti free-trade -> outsourcing stole your paycheck/politicians trying to screw you -> income inequality
- fche 10y agoThat is not a causal chain that Trump has campaigned on.
- burnitdown 10y agoYes it is. The people are not complaining about income inequality directly. They are complaining about jobs and wages. Increase those two and suddenly income inequality becomes less of an issues because people have enough to live on.
- chimeracoder 10y ago> is Trump campaigning against income inequality? You can't really answer the question "what are Trump's positions", because he contradicts himself all the time. Trump has had the most inconsistent campaign I could ever imagine. You name a political position, and he's had it. He's been pro-choice, except he also wants to punish women who have had abortions. He's been pro-gay, except now he's not. He wants to stop getting into wars overseas, except he also says he wants to increase military funding and engagements. He's advocated single-payer healthcare, but he wants to repeal Obamacare and replace it with a "free-market insurance system". The only thing that he's been pretty clear about the whole time is that he wants to "build a wall". (Though you could even argue he's been inconsistent on his immigration position in other ways).
