that foreign countries who export goods to the US don't pay tariffs to the US treasury, US importers pay those tariffs and just make back their dollars by upping the price of the goods that US customers pay.

Nobody is explaining that to the voters. We here at DU of course know this, but Democratic candidates need to explain this in so many words because FOX, nor CNN nor NewsMax or OAN and even the afternoon hosts on MSNBC don't explain it.

FOX and CNN and the rest of winger media don't want viewers to know what an idiot trump is and what a disaster his economic policies will be, and I assume the MSNBC hosts must think their viewers know it already. Many do, but some don't. IMO it needs to be repeated everyday to new viewers who may not know.

"BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH" is all they hear when we say it, but when Trump talks his babbling drivel it sounds like poetry to them.

off for VP Harris and other Dems on the ballot. Same goes for indy voters who are busy with their lives and just starting to pay attention with the election nearing. Everyone is not completely clear about tariffs and who pays them. The more voters we snag, the better.
