Like I said before this administration will be destructive to the middle and poor classes.

But hey Kamala is indian and what about those tangibles :troll:
In a weird way though I think this will actually lead to lasting change. The status quo was what the democrats offered and it was rejected. Progressives who want to do big things like overturn citizens united, restore the marginal tax rate to what it was during America's Golden age, protect peoples data and raise minimum wage will be far more popular than "here are some tax credits you can apply for"

People got a glimpse of what the government can actually do for people when they get off their asses back in 2020 and 2021. People want more of that and they can have it if enough politicians stop being afraid of billionaires and start taxing them. What are they going to do? Run somewhere else and inflate the housing prices and crush small businesses there? They're fukking parasites who don't contribute to society more than your friends and family members who work 9-5 jobs. 2020 exposed the charade. We saw who is actually important. It's not these CEOs who have meetings all day and fire staff before dipping with more money in their account than all the employees in their office. It's the nurses, delivery drivers, care aids, cooks, teachers, pharmacists, cleaners, day laborers etc. That keep this country going.

The first person to promise these people higher wages, better job security, and the means for upper mobility(free education, student loan forgiveness) will get serious motion. If they win these people over there is more than enough for them to dominate in an election. If they enact their agenda instead of coming up with bullshyt excuses like the senate parliamentarian or a colleague breaking ranks, they're locked in for a second term. Democrats kept focusing on appealing to your supervisors instead of appealing to YOU. If they're offering you free childcare, free healthcare, free schooling, housing subsidies, and protecting the sanctity of your vote by kicking big money out of politics you have reasons to vote FOR them. You're not voting out of fear of what the right will do, you're voting because you've been given a vision of the future that puts you first.

Trump never dealt with Wal-Mart on this scale, if any... they literally tell everyone else what to do. Politicians included.

It's not just the revenue, it's that these companies are so interconnected, you just can't tell them "no", "don't" or "stop". Wal-Mart has like 100,000 suppliers. There's too many people to check. Either they raise prices or we won't have the products on shelf.

He can play with these big box retailers if he wants, it's not going to end well for him.

Just American greed , Walmart created this whole China hate situation
Nothing greedy about it
You've been indoctrinated on nonsense.
Walmart didn't create anything, just good ole American racism and xenophobia.

Before anti Chinese sentiment it was anti Japanese sentiment for the same reason in the 80s before the Japanese crash.

You never see this hate for foreign manufacturing when it's German or Italian. Wonder why only Chinese and Mexican produced goods are "terrible" but not Canadian.

Walmart is fighting for Americans.
Tariffs are imposed on Americans, not the foreign country
It's a tax on us, I fail to understand why people want to argue for increases on taxes, but the maga are economically illiterate compounded by xenophobic
Smh
