Mark Blyth and Wendy Schiller ─ Election 2016: Impact At Home and Abroad
Economy | Information | History | Online | Facts | World | Global | Money
Its often said outside of the U.S. that the American presidential election is the most important election for everyone outside of the US. This year is different. The Republican Party was unable to get a mainstream Republican through its primary process, with the result that Donald Trump is now the GOP candidate. The Democratic Party has in turn nominated a candidate with some of the highest negatives ever. Trump promises trade protection and migrant exclusion. Clinton promises college expansion and economic inclusion. But are these the policies America, and the world, needs? And what impact, at home and abroad, will the election of either of these candidates have both locally and globally. Professors Wendy Schiller and Mark Blyth discuss these issues in this forum. Co-sponsored by the International Relations, Political Science, and Public Policy Departmental Undergraduate Groups.

And to think these people make a handsome living out of this gibberish. Interesting to note that according to Professor Blyth, unless you voted for purely economic reasons, you are a racist.

Funnier than Frankie Boyle.

Wendy is just another clueless progressive obsessed with idntity politics. Whites are not racist, homophobic, sexist knuckle draggers. They are just sick of being told they are bad people. That they are born guilty. The social justice movement has infected the left and will destroy it from the inside as it spreads. In Europe the problem has been exacerbated by an insane immigration strategy which has pushed an already economically stressed population to breaking point. This is why there is now a pushback against the politicians that continue to ignore everyday people and it's roots have nothing to do with racism even though progressives try their hardest to smear people with it. Ordinary Europeans and Americans have had enough of it. It's time for governments to start working on behalf of the people again. The revolution has begun!

Watch Global Trumpism, it's all of Mark Blyth's genius commentary minus Wendy's liberal blathering! YW
-
Schiller was grotesquely WRONG...I feel sorry for folks being educated by her!!!
-
How to talk like a college student. Say "like" every second word, and inflect your voice at the end of every sentence.
-
Good God, why must Wendy Schiller turn every question into a 20 minute lecture based on old Democratic talking points?
-
"the only way to combat racist feelings is to hear them" My concern is President Trump's ability to influence people who didn't have racist feelings before.. maybe as president, Trump (w the media's help) could persuade more people over to a more racist line of thinking.

Guess who's gonna have to change their tune. Democrats...
How come i knew Trump would win in January. -
why not vote online ,we do taxes online .
why not have politics ,reality tv style ? -
What's with this woman? Vapid.

I didn't like Wendy's talk as much during their election post-mortem. She said a few things that irritated me and sounded like pretty superficial analyses. This talk she really shows how knowledgeable she is though. Jealous of all these students who have access to these two.

Looking at issues of gender and race is fine... but fixating on them and forgetting (or ignoring) the economics side is a sure way of alienating massive numbers of poor and working poor. THAT is my beef with identity politics. That question about gender at around 56 minute mark was really about how race talk takes away prime-time from gender (understand women) talk. So if all you care about is either gender or race, then people on the left will be divided...
Fix the discrimination against the poor and you will see how many of the gender and race issues will be addressed. But many of those on the left who are fixated on identity politics are comfortably middle-class or higher, and who have assets that might be put in risk if they take any action against the current economic paradigm. So they don't feel comfortable with addressing these broad economic disparities.
One more point, in this already long rant. What about the policies that identity politics has inspired? They, themselves, are often times authoritarian (e.g. policing language-if you choose the wrong gender identity pronoun, your whole point is automatically invalidated) and divisive. Anyone on the fence, anyone who can be persuaded to join the left's cause of economic equity, looks at these toxic policies and wonders: what is it in for me? And the answer is nothing.
Identity politics, in its current form, in the current times, is a dead end for the left. -
you sound so American

Efforts were made to bring "Spitting Image" to the U.S. (as with "Reagan's Brain"). Americans, including so-called 'liberals', didn't like it. Americans were and are hung up on the notion that we owe obedience to our Glorious Leaders. That sums it up. Dump the notion that presidents and congressmembers are either intelligent or well-intentioned — or even decent human beings — and we might be on our way to better times.
