The right-wing which is much more astute at politics than the left loves buddying up to the far left
Man I wish the DSA would quit with the anti-trade nonsense. Love most of what Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says, but then she drops this and economists everywhere cringe.

We do need to be prepared for all consequences of trade agreements, positive and negative, winners and losers.
no, the idea is to blame America in general and Trump in particular
Your understanding of American foreign policy is clearly very nuanced and informed, typical of the common Republican.it's an old lefty reflex: if there is a problem south of the border, then blame Uncle Sam, simple monocausal explanation for simple lefty minds
Sure. But when you suggest that NAFTA or the TPP creates refugees, it makes you look like a looney tune, and you are already working uphill to try to get your message taken seriously. Admittedly, Trump does or says something crazier multiple time daily and has completely changed how we think about politicians, but hopefully we can get back to the point where we hold our leaders to a higher standard.
