It is important to be involved with trading with other countries to counter Chinese influence. Also free unfettered trade keeps prices low for American consumers

 @8TB7FMR from Texas  agreed…3yrs3Y

Absolutely. We need friends, allies, and trading partners across the world. If we isolate ourselves from everyone, then other countries will go to our adversaries for business.

 @9FXB9C4 from Georgia  agreed…3yrs3Y

Additionally, this constant trend of trying to drop the U.S. from almost every trade agreement will lead to eventual economic isolation which is a horrible financial decision for everyone.

 @9FX4W8XNatural Law from Illinois  agreed…3yrs3Y

No , it is not our business to interfere in unless they are moving caches of destructive weapons or things that could be seen as detrimental to public safety

 @9FVJCFJIndependent from Alabama  disagreed…3yrs3Y

The United States became what it is today through regional and international cooperation, and denouncing the free trade agreement between the US, Canada, and Mexico would overall harm the nation by sending it into a state of isolation. Isolationism had a drastic effect on the US economy, and if people really want to keep the faux-utopia idea around they should say yes to NAFTA.

 @B6VBTNSdisagreed…9mos9MO

Trade will always be good when other countries can produce certain resources and goods at a faster rate.

 @B83PKVB from Missouri  disagreed…7mos7MO

Definitely should, we first of all need allies in close countries and far countries but for this it would be close. i forgot the rest of my argument, but trading with neighboring countries is good for the us.

 @B7TSFNK from Connecticut  disagreed…7mos7MO

I think that the "No" position is incredibly stupid because its a good agreement and we've had it for a long time with no problems, so why now do we need to get rid of it?

 @9FYX4DMCommunist from Wisconsin  agreed…3yrs3Y

All the influx of immigration has been in large part due to the exploitation endured by workers in other countries.

Bernie Sanders Charges Ahead As Democrats Stall Out

Bernie Sanders launched a tour in red states like Iowa and Nebraska to rally opposition to Donald Trump’s agenda, drawing massive crowds—thousands in Omaha and overflow audiences in Iowa City.Unlike the Democratic Party’s muted response to Trump’s election, Sanders is actively challenging the administration’s plutocratic policies, focusing on billionaire influence and federal deregulation.In Iowa City, Sanders spoke to packed venues, delivering back-to-back speeches to accommodate attendees, a first in his political career, highlighting his enduring appeal.He criticized Trump’s inner circle, including billionaires Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg, who attended the inauguration, and warned of their control over federal agencies.Sanders galvanized the crowd with historical references—suffrage, slavery, independence—urging grassroots action to counter Trump’s planned $1 trillion tax cuts for the rich and cuts to programs like Medicaid.Attendees expressed frustration with Democratic leaders like Hakeem Jeffries, calling their opposition to Trump weak or nonexistent, while praising Sanders for providing direction.Sanders highlighted the slim Republican House majority (three seats), suggesting constituent pressure could sway vulnerable GOP members to block Trump’s reconciliation bill.Early signs show GOP walkbacks—like Trump’s false claim Medicaid won’t be cut—after outrage over federal grant pauses disrupted services, proving grassroots impact.The crowd, mostly liberal, cheered Sanders’ defense of reproductive rights and jeered Trump’s USAID cuts and Zelensky attacks, though some noted a shift in his base—younger Trump supporters absent.Sanders ended with Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, framing the fight as a timeless struggle against billionaire rule, inspiring attendees like Audrey to re-engage and Erin to find hope in solidarity.
