press release
Monday November 14, 2016 22:35 by pbp
People Before Profit Press Release -9th Nov 2016 The shock victory of Donald Trump in defiance of both the polls and most of the US establishment is testimony to the deep anger felt by many millions of working class Americans at their abandonment by the system. Trump’s victory, which was very narrow in terms of the overall popular vote – less than 1% – was based on combining the traditional conservative right wing vote from the South and the rural mid-West with a significant ‘blue-collar’ working class vote from places such as Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, states that had previously voted for Obama. This came as a complete surprise to the pollsters and commentators and tipped the balance in his favour. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4The left need to take their fingers out, end their obsession with the minutae of identity politics
and go back to the traditional focus of the left which is the class struggle.
Rich and poor is the real issue, not in which toilet a trannie goes to take a leak.
I dislike Trump but a vote for Hillary was a vote for a no fly zone in Syria and likely a hot war with Russia.
When the bombs go off, it doesn't really matter who is triggering you or if you have a safe space
All this identity politics that the left have fallen for recently is a ruse by the right to divide and conquer
Get over all that nonsense and get back to your core. Otherwise you will continue to lose both relevancy and your support in droves.
Hi!
Readers may be interested to know that a protest against what Donald Trump represents will be held today (Thursday 17th November 2016) outside the US Embassy in Dublin (and I believe that had Hillary Clinton won that election she, too, would [and should] be protested against for the same reason - that which she represents).
Details re this protest can be seen at the 'Related Link' , below.
Thanks,
Sharon.
'Up Yours', Donald - see you at the US Embassy in Dublin, 6pm, Thursday 17th November 2016.
The ultimate racism is killing brown people and their wives and children
It's far worse than calling them names
Hillary is responsible for the deaths of thousands of brown people in countries across north africa and the middle east
No talk of hillary the racist though. And as for her pro women creds, well her bombs killed thousands of women too. All mainly just to further her own career and feather her own nest.
Trump talked about grabbing women and called mexican immigrants rapists etc. Just words.
Of course when lech Bill clinton grabbed every woman in sight, hillary actively muzzled their protests. Hillary even laughed about getting a brutal child rapist off on a technicality when she was a lawyer. The audio is on youtube. Chilling.
Hillary said all the right things in public but expressed her true racism using bombs and guns on people she considered dispensable.
Blinkered virtue signallers seem not to be able to reason this out.
These protesters are just being useful idiots serving a Soros / Democratic party agenda.
The fact is Hillary was even worse than Trump and could likely have brought us to the brink of armageddon with her incessant provocations of Russia and general military hawkishness.
Trump is an arse but at least he's making some of the right noises in diffusing cold war tensions with Russia. Soros is behind Moveon.org which is driving these protests. Soros is always involved in these colour revolutions. Maybe now he's starting one in the US?
Hi!
For the record : the fact that I'm anti-Trump does not mean that I am pro-Clinton : " Trump is an in-your-face nasty human being and Clinton is a behind-your-back nasty human being. A plague on both their houses..."

Thanks,
Sharon.
