We saw some dems attempt this very gently. I think if you have politicians or the government go after American companies aggressively I think that would turn off a lot of Americans. Idk it's a difficult thread to needle and ultimately i don't think it would have worked or been effective politically.

The obvious strategy is to concentrate on highlighting the most egregious examples. By underscoring that *most* companies are responsible and by avoiding a broad attack, you counteract the perception that you are anti-business.
But for the worst price-gougers you do it loudly, not gently!
The problem is our bark doesnтАЩt have bite. ItтАЩd probably come off as whining while Trump comes off strong but he will fuck a company up. As pro-business as he truly is, he will make an example of someone. ItтАЩs the whole double standard where Dems rule with intelligence while the GOP rules with fear. We all know which one works better.
I firmly believe that billionaires and corporate CEOs *should* fear the government. That's the only way to prevent them from doing things that screw everybody else.
Mmmmhhhhhmmmm. ThatтАЩs what makes Trump so troublesome bc heтАЩll cut corporate taxes while also saying to corporations, тАЬIf you fuck with me, IтАЩll cut you.тАЭ Dems are in quite a pickle with matching this energy. Overall, we arenтАЩt assholes. And, we used to rely on unions for backing up our populist messaging and they increasingly donтАЩt like us.
My dad got fed so much anti-green energy messaging in the тАЬnewsтАЭ that matches up with auto union workers worrying about going too fast on electric cars. Then, it is also trans rights, which is a manufactured problem that we fall hook line and sinker for. Guilty as charged bc I also love arguing about something I know IтАЩm right about. The GOP just ignores questions theyтАЩll sound dumb answering and they pivot to something else they can win on. Dems could do that, too. Dems dont need to talk about prisoners getting sex change surgeries for crying out loud. ItтАЩs a gotcha question and we fall for it every time bc we just looooove being right. We donтАЩt have to be wrong, we could just pivot like they do.
No itтАЩs not. ItтАЩd be that everyone is saying pig fucking is fine and when the reporter asks you why you think fucking pigs is wrong, you change the subject to how we should feed and treat those pigs who get fucked in a more humane better so everyone at least gets the best squeal out of it.
Note: I didnтАЩt choose the pig fucking analogy but I went with it.

Disagree, especially if those companies are the same ones that have just dramatically increased their prices.

Democrats could do something about that.

Oh shit, I didnтАЩt even see the giant thread below about trans issues being too big a topic this election. LetтАЩs go dive into that.
Answering such absurd gotcha questions are the equivalent of denying youтАЩre a pig-fucker. Yes, you may be right, but the damage is done.
No itтАЩs not. ItтАЩd be that everyone is saying pig fucking is fine and when the reporter asks you why you think fucking pigs is wrong, you change the subject to how we should feed and treat those pigs who get fucked in a more humane better so everyone at least gets the best squeal out of it.

No, thatтАЩs from LBJ.
Lmao, now I see your point. I was being too literal and didnтАЩt like comparing trans rights to pig fucking. Still, I had fun crafting my response!
Thus, concludes our perfect example of how liberals jump to conclusions and immediately want to correct people. Thank you to my unwilling participant.
