    I am a liberal because i believe in immigration, women's and minorities rights.

    Remember, you are voting for the guy who stands for everything you don't as a protest. You deserve what you get.

    There's no exploitation because everyone is a price taker.

    If the labor market were different, I would agree we should have a min wage. The reason wages haven't gone up in the unskilled pool is because demand for labor has gone down due to automation and off-shoring.

    Wages in the skilled pool have gone up because they control and develop the automation.

    And you're voting for a guy that promised improvements for women's and minorities rights and did shit on either.You are the sucker that the democrat party depends on.

    It's hard when the guy you are voting for stacked the supreme court.

    It would be hard voting for a guy that has not changed any Trump policies except flooding the country with illegals and re starting student loan payments.

    Now now. Try to remember being a liberal isn’t about agreeing with others who share 80% of the views you have, it’s about making enemies of the people you 20% disagree with. Not!

    It's possible to pursue that argument if one assumes there is already legislation against the most egregious forms like slavery and child labor, but exploitation can take subtler forms not easily legislated. That's where the flexibility of worker coordination must come in.
