As I said, I don’t have a specific opinion on TPP. But Sanders voted to withdraw from the WTO, and voted against every major trade deal he’s encountered. This is not “general support of free trade.”

Trade deals are generally good for everyone, as nearly every economist will tell you. This is a huge part of my lack of support for Sanders. I don’t have a specific opinion on TPP, but Sanders hasn’t supported a single major trade bill during his time in office. That hurts the average American.

I’m not talking about Chinese high school graduates. The mean years of schooling in the U.S. is 12.9. The mean years of schooling in China is 7.5 (up from 3.7 35 years ago, which is why China isn’t really making t-shirts anymore). And yes, the comparative advantage is wages, but wages are only relevant to the consumer…

Your response didn’t actually have any policy in it:

You mean like this?:

I was responding to “If your goal is to maintain or increase domestic production, then protectionism has been proven to work.” That reads like net gains to me.

You can’t control Americans, but you can learn to live in the world. One more GamerGate level screed like this again, and I’m going to have to dismiss you. Engage civilly.

You responded to “bro” with “cunt.” This isn’t remotely proportional.

If you majored in economics (I did too), you should know that protectionism doesn’t actually increase domestic production. Per the OECD:

EXACTLY. Honestly, I wish there was a way to weed out burner accounts in favor of people who want to actually engage on a topic.

Not this Hillary supporter. I’m not voting for Bernie because it’s clear that he doesn’t understand the very thing he wants to regulate (Glass-Steagall is anachronistic, and he completely dismisses the effective Dodd-Frank), and because he has voted against every major trade agreement of the last 20 years, in spite of…

I’ll argue both those things, because they flamethrowing nonsense. She supports Dodd-Frank (and is actually campaigning on substantive improvements) while Bernie keeps repeating “Glass Steagall” as if that actually meant something (hint: it doesn’t). She made a huge mistake with the Iraq vote, but she also supports…

Nice, coming from the guy who’s been using a burner as a flamethrower for the last hour? You know that we can see your comment history, right?

@Trolltrolltroll.

Ok, I’m not a Bernie supporter, but this is troll-level nonsense here.

Or the nominee for people who like poise and don’t like protectionism.

That’s because he hasn’t had the full weight of the GOP attack machine lobbied against him yet. Do you really think that Sanders will have the same poise that Clinton did when sitting through the Gowdy Benghazi hearings?

I mean, she is from Alaska.

I hereby declare this article to be dumb.

Willie was the best.
