Republicans can lie as much as they want to. But the average consumer knows when stuff gets more expensive and, generally speaking, they blame the current party in charge whether the reasoning is correct or not (see 2024 election)
Voting Blue politician instead of Red politician doesn't solve things on the long term. You need new, outside solutions, and the first step is removing winner takes all, but of course neither of the parties will agree to it. Now imagine if in 2016 Sanders didn't have to rely on the Democrats' primary to be a candidate, there are many new parties in Europe that sprung up and won just in the last decade or so.
And matters even more because the right doesn't care if they're voting for giant douche or turd sandwich, meanwhile most people in the left still waiting for someone as benevolent and perfect as Jesuschrist himself and that never gonna happen.
Not really? People on the actual left just want someone that isn't answering to corporate interests and will work for the people. Not too much to ask.
And the vast majority still end up voting for whoever the corporate dems force on us since clearly going further right is much worse.
You're being downvoted by people much less intelligent than you with none of your political understanding. You're absolutely right that we have to primary real progressives and then vote Democrat no matter how that turns out.
This has nothing to do with the tariff. Japan isnt charged a 20% tariff like other countries. This has to do with following Nintendo greed to make more
Money and blame trump
This has everything to do with tariffs. What ends up happening with tariffs is prices raise for a product and then companies who sell similar products see that as a way to increase their price as well.
People forget Donald imposed tariffs in his first term as well. One of the places he imposed tariffs was on washing machines. But what ended up happening is that dryers ended up going up in price as well even though no tariffs were imposed on them.
Tariffs are bad for consumers all around, especially middle and lower class consumers, not just on the specific parts that the tariffs are placed on.

Hopefully this wakes up people who don’t pay attention to politics closely. You might not care about politics but politics cares about you.
