I want a leader that embraces the future and is prepared for it.
We don't want a return to a global model that fit a world population of 2 or 3 billion.
We are at 8 billion heading to 9, 10 billion and beyond.
Globalization is a naturally occurring consequence of human population growth, social and technological advances.
Nationalism is a resistance to that natural evolu ...[text shortened]... ld be led by those that are frightened of humanity.
Oh and btw, that doesn't make me a Socialist.

That is false...humans have since the beginning had a tribal nature.
@mott-the-hoople saidMight as well not bring that up, Mott. These guys lock there doors, their cars, their lockers at work. They lock people out 24/7.

open borders?

Thousands of years ago it would have been possible for 2 tribes 20 miles apart to barely know the existence of one another.
Today someone in America can FaceTime with somebody in Australia.
That's globalization. It's here. Now.
Heck !! Even you have a satellite dish on top of your trailer. 😛
