people in the US are going to learn a very difficult economic lesson.

And they will all blame whichever Dem happens to be in the white house because they all have the memories of goldfish.

Left and right will all blame everyone but themselves. Anything to not put in their own work or take current matters at hand.

Not if said Dem actually does something about it. (Unlikely)

Problem is that, if we elect a Democrat, it will be a fabulously wealthy person with no empathy or understanding of the working class and working poor, so the likelihood that they will do anything about it is minimal. Remember when Obama had the balls to walk into Flint, pretend to drink a glass of water, and tell all of those people whose water had been poisoned that everything was a-okay? That's what I mean. Zero empathy.

More importantly, the last dem expanded on Trump pt I's tarriffs.

Unless the next candidate acknowledges this, why would voters have any faith that candidate won't be another Biden?

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 7 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Honestly didn't know that. Could you point me to a source where I can read more about it?

2x Trump's tarriff on solar panels, 3+x on evs, +25% on aluminum, batteries, and more

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Not at all the same. That started as targeted tariffs as punishment for accusations of unfair trade. Tariffs have been frequently used in the past and targeted tariffs can be an important tool for specific types of trade issues. It did escalate into a trade war which didn’t help anyone, but with one specific country.

That’s not at all the same as widespread tariffs, including starting trade wars against important allies and trade partners

[–] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 1 points 23 minutes ago

That's the same bullshit justification Trump used. If the dems genuinely opposed with Trump's trade war, they would have undone all his tariffs.
