The Pro Hillary Thread

I just hope the Bernie bros do not decide to liven things up with some kind of disrupting stunt and/or behavior at the convention. I would rather it be boring than a disaster, but I have a horrible feeling it is going to be a disaster.

The data used was a Media exit poll. The link clearly states the difference between media exit polls and exit polls conducted to confirm electoral results.

What, pray tell, is a "neoliberal?"

BREXIT: What is it really all about?
It may surprise some people to learn that the economic theory is diverse. Different economic ideologies contradict each other in nearly every way and are a source of great conflict.
Our economy and indeed the broader western economy has been increasingly influenced by and run according to neoliberal economic ideology. Typically, this sees the state cede control and influence of trade and finance to the private sector. Unfortunately, this leads to rampant globalisation, which undermines the strength of nations, culturally and economically.
Australia seems almost addicted to neoliberalism with its ardent pursuit of so called free trade agreements (FTAs) that do more to undermine domestic manufacturing and processing industries than provide any real economic gain for the nation. Trade benefits of these agreements are captured by big business with little or no benefit to small business.
In turn we see the global economy increasingly run by multinational corporations with little if any social conscience and annual budgets bigger than many companies. These corporations are decreasingly accountable to any nation.
The Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) is the next step in the neoliberal agenda. It presents significant threats to our sovereignty and formally provides legal precedence that gives foreign corporations rights that supersede our own government.
The global financial crisis was a direct result of failures in the neoliberal ideology. Sadly, the key lessons were not learned and our economic and trade policies continue to be informed and determined by the same neoliberal thinking.
The debate in Britain about leaving the EU is a significant realisation that globalisation and neoliberalism are not delivering the promise of a better future for the next generation. The poll result was decisive.
CountryMinded is committed to a pragmatic and objective approach to economic management. We are committed to preserving our democracy, sovereignty and independent economy. There are elements of neoliberal ideology that make sense, but it is not an all or nothing proposition and we do not need to blindly accept that trade liberalisation can only be delivered through FTAs or the TPP.
“Brexit” poses significant challenges to Britain and the decision does not necessarily mean their future is assured. However, it is a resounding dis-endorsement of the current management model. It also sends a clear message that nations can, should and will exercise their right and ability for self-determination.
Abraham Lincoln once said, “the best way to predict your future is to create it.” It is time we too stopped letting others dictate our future. We need to create the future we imagine for our children, necessarily, without being constrained by current ideological or economic paradigms.

Well, whatever it is, Hillary's an authoritarian one.
