    so dems have a message for europe. where is the message for us citizens? who’s the priority - citizens or businesses worried about their wallets as europe turns away from us businesses (TECH)? i’m curious how they think they will repair our country and democracy.

      There’s a widespread view in Europe, which I happen to share, that the US is lost - for a considerable time. It’s unlikely to be a dependable ally for at least a generation.

      This is going to hurt Europe, but in the longer term US isolationism will hurt the US more than it will hurt the rest of the world. It makes a lot of sense for the opposition party in the US to be trying to prepare the ground for a repair of those relationships if and when they gett into power.

      Good luck to them, but I think it’s going to be too late.

        I don’t think the dems will try to fix anything if they get into power. They will try to appear more moderate but I don’t think they will really back out of the most changes. They’re paid off by the same masters.
