i grew up as an opposition leftist in the 90s.

the core of my political identity is in alter-globalization, in opposition to "free trade".

if trump was a little more specific, such that i could take him seriously, as opposed to saying vague things like "it's the worst deal" and "we'll get a better deal", i might have endorsed him.

it's the most important thing. and, by a good margin.

and again: it's not like this new deal is perfect or anything. but, it's aiming for the goal of raising workers' standards in mexico, which is at the crux of the original problem. that is the fundamental problem that needs to be addressed, and it seems like it's being addressed...so, if i were an american, i would have to support that, even if i have qualms in other points.
