    “Not voting for the killers” is REALLY a stretch here.

    Honestly if Palestine is your one and only policy, not voting was the right choice.

    It was well known from Trump’s first term, and everything the man has ever said, that he would encourage attacks on Palestinians vs the Dems who simply stood by and let it happen.

    There’s a big difference between not voting for someone who won’t help and actually voting for someone who hates you and will unapologeticly help your enemy kill you.















  • So why dont we have tarrifs on the ones that are produced in Mexico too?

    Mexico is not China.

    It is in our best interest to have a stable and economically improving neighbor on our southern border.

    Your all or nothing / black or white view of the world is extremely childish & naive. Simple solutions to complex problems are just how politicians manipulate those who don’t want to think to hard. Stop pretending that global trade policy is a simple solution arena & try thinking a little harder.





  • And your not taking into account the money the Chinese government is dumping into the industry to produce those low cost products.

    The goal is to dominate the industry world wide, and you just want to allow that.

    This isn’t ‘fear mongering’ this is realism.

    Your last sentence is just hilarious. You believe we can’t do it because capitalism is bad, and so you want to cede the entire future of the industry to a forign power run by a dictator who would 100% use it as a weapon against us.

    The world isn’t black or white, and in this case protectionism for local industry is the best of the many bad choices.

    Frankly we should be dumping public money into the same industry, but we have a strong majority who are fighting it tooth & nail. If you want to be angry about the expensive EVs here, get upset about the lack of government subsidies compared to China.
