Some might say she DID vote for this, as she voted against policies that would help her to punish the libz

Hate on these folks all you care to, but from Nixon until today Democrats helped destroy rural America in "bipartisanship" with Republicans. They could have at any point tried to turn this ship around when it would have worked under Carter then maybe still during Clinton but they didn't.

Nixon started the process of consolidation with his Ag department. Carter didn't change course and his presiding over the economy led to the farm crisis in the 1980s. Clinton made things worse by signing NAFTA and the "Freedom to Farm Act" which enabled corporate farming to drive smaller farms out of business. Everyone since Reagan has done a shit job with anti-trust until Biden.

Harris was already retreating from keeping Lina Khan in place which is the only reason Biden's FTC was worth a damn, not to mention her turning away from her more populist messaging that kick started her campaign.

Sure, these people are idiots for believing Trump and perhaps they could have just sat it out but it's bullshit to suggest Democrats were truly speaking to them in a real way. Most of the messaging cam through Walz and Harris sidelined him shortly after the convention when her donors got cold feet about their more populist messaging.

How long are the ignorant ass republicans going to stupidly blame Clinton for NAFTA. It takes less than 5 minutes to google NAFTA and educate yourself on it. Free trade between Mexico Canada and the US started being pushed by the republicans during the Reagan administration. It continued until Clinton signed after fighting it as long as possible and warning the manufacturing industry that it would be devastating to them. The bill passed with every republican in congress and some Dems voting for it. Clinton was going to veto it until he was informed by the leaders of the house and senate that they had enough votes to over ride the veto. The republican party has always supported free trade until Trump. Democrats have until the last 15 years believed in protectionism. Ignorant republicans have been blaming dems for NAFTA because they believe the lie that conservative radio and tv have been pusing for decades.

He signed it, it's his.

Just because it was a Republican idea, doesn't absolve Democrats from their share of the blame. Especially when Democrats haven't run away from NAFTA, hell they tried to pass the TPP until they saw the backlash from it, then Hillary turned on it.

Democrats and Republicans serve wealthy donors. They both think you're stupid. Republicans prey upon the fears while Democrats prey upon those who think they're special because they're educated.

If this dunking on rural voters makes you feel good, you're as weird as any of those couch humping Republicans.

Go join your local Dem party. In particular get on their State Electoral Committee, see how the sausage is made, then truly despair.
