Lefties in general are doing everything to accomplish this. It's a critical component of the neo liberal economic model... Import a slave class, because lefties always have to have people to look down upon, mow their lawns, do jobs they look down upon, etc.

Except that the Republicans supported tariffs from their inception until the postwar period.

Trump is returning the Republican party to its roots on trade.

Joe Biden has a record of supporting free trade, Donald Trump has pursued protectionism.

Joe Biden voted for welfare reform in 1996, Donald Trump has not pursued any kind of meaningful entitlement reform.

Joe Biden supports the Affordable Care Act and wants to add a public option, Donald Trump has criticized the Affordable Care Act but kept in place the majority of the law.

Joe Biden has not called for lower interest rates, Donald Trump has.

Joe Biden voted for budgets in the 1990s that balanced the federal budget and helped craft a budget deal in 2011 that capped federal spending, Donald Trump worked with Democrats to pass a budget that increased federal spending above the 2011 cap.

The Obama/Biden administration, working with Republicans in Congress, cut taxes more on middle and lower income individuals than Donald Trump.

Trump's bailout of U.S. farmers has cost U.S. taxpayers more than the Obama/Biden bailout of GM.

Both Biden and Trump supported the Wall Street bailout and Obama stimulus.

Somewhat decent list of why I did not vote for Trump, it's mostly all true.

Your post falls apart in the premise Biden would actually fix this stuff. His rhetoric so far has been closer in line with the leftist loons he is competing with. Pete Buttigieg seems closer to some of these more than Biden.

Yes, Republicans are Marxists at heart.

I agree with this. Most capitalists are Marxists.

So Trump having illegals work at his golf resort in New Jersey well into his presidency is what? Overlooked because it's Trump? How about his ICE plan to deport illegals without penalizing employers who employ illegals. That's okay as well because it's Trump? E-Verify? "Trump seeks to cuts to E-Verify" Politico. Maybe people in glass political houses shouldn't throw hate rhetoric without looking at facts first
