    Because he’s a neoliberal, beholden to mega-doners, career politician. He’s also A-OK with genocide until it costs him points in an election year.

          I generally agree that, yeah, he’s trying to protect the businesses and interests that donate to him.

          I’m just saying that many would argue that tariffs are not a great example of neoliberalism. If he wanted to go full neoliberal, he would let US automakers go full Apple. Remove tariffs and move manufacturing to China or whoever could make stuff the cheapest. That’s the textbook neoliberal play.

            No worries, I know it’s not a neoliberal move, just that Biden is the head of the democratic party, which is neoliberal.

      No, he’s quite OK with genocide even when it costs him points in an election year, hence why he continues to facilitate genocide in an election year.
