I totally disagree with Chaiy Donati’s article ‘The Ghosts of 2016: How the Democrats’ betrayal of Bernie Sanders and the embrace of neoliberalism paved the way for Trump’ about the reason Trump won the US election so convincingly. This election had very little, if anything, to do with policy.

With Trump’s historic victory on November 5, the neoliberal era – the era that promised a marketplace for everything and a solution for nothing – seems to be witnessing its slow, painful death.

Nope – it was already mad. Americans are angry mad at the fact that the government – and the corporates who run it – have their sticky fingers in everything their citizens do and everything they think, and all they get is another day older and deeper in debt.
