    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.

      No it makes sense…

      Neoliberals care about executive pay, not worker pay.

      So they make up bullshit reasons about why American job less is only bad if it’s executives losing profit, not about workers losing jobs.

      Everything makes perfect sense except when youre trying to explain about how it’s for the best interest of American workers, most of whom aren’t auto workers.

        Political extremists, such as yourself, are exhausting.

        It’s like talking to a religious fanatic, there’s no reasoning with someone who’s made a decision based on emotion instead of logic.

          Yeah, shit like that.

          Calling someone “an extremist” for caring about average Americans more than billionaires.

          It’s got to be exhausting constantly flip flipping. Trying to act like Republicans are the worst thing ever, except progressives.

          Somehow if people get more help than you think they deserve, it has to loop back around and be worse than republicans.

          You can lose to republicans all day every day, but if progressives beat you just a few times, you’ll never get political power back.
