Michigan and other battleground states might have swung for Trump, but they elected environmentalists to U.S. Senate seats, too.

    Yes, but it’s obvious that Trump is abominably worse on the topic. Only hope is that the tariffs vastly minimize global trade.

      This is a big part of the Democrats problem, it feels like their stance on every topic is “Trump is worse”. Harris supports genocide in Gaza, yeah but Trump is worse. Harris embraces fracking, yeah but Trump is worse. Harris embraces the criminal migrate narrative, yeah but Trump is worse. Running to the right and yelling but that guy’s worse has always been a losing strategy for Democrats but they just keep doing it. Why did Bill Clinton and Obama win? They embraced progressive policies and offered a vision of hope. Why did Biden win? He tried to go right but between some early issues like “working with segregationists” and the crime bill along with Bernie’s success in the primaries he was dragged back left and there was meaningful policy separation. Why did Hillary Clinton and Harris lose? They ran right and yelled “but the other guy is worse.”

      That would be almost hilarious; the world meets our CO2 emission targets because Trump tanks the US economy with tariffs first, and then another plague second (my bet is bird flu this time)
