Ottawa Senators fans were quick to voice their displeasure with the United States on Saturday after U.S. president Donald Trump announced his plan to impose tariffs on Canadian goods.

We realize that most Americans didn’t vote for Trump (only 49.8%) and that most of those who did probably didn’t understand what tariffs are and how they work and we realize that Trump’s action and our response are going to hurt poor Americans, and poor Americans in red states more than others, but we’re not going to take illegal tariffs sitting down.

Just a reminder who Trump is pissing off.

    the election is about damage control. You choose the least worst option available to you.

    “Damage control” means both candidates are damaging to varying degrees, so what do you expect people to do once they realize that it doesn’t make much difference who gets elected? Why do you think a majority of people don’t even bother to vote anymore?

    How does the rubber meet the road with this strategy exactly? I’m guessing it just means you blindly support the Democratic party regardless of the candidate and their policies, no? They can force on us a geriatric candidate who can’t even get through a single debate or make hard right shifts like they did this election and you just cheer them on and give a thumbs up, correct? Those that don’t offer blind support get turned off by this and the Democrats lose yet another election and allow Trump back into office a second time and you still blindly support the direction of the party? That’s insanity.

    If you don’t like the choices you see, you have to get off your ass and do something about it before the election. Whining about after the fact will accomplish nothing

    Who exactly do you think is whining here? I knew this was coming. The polls showed it was coming. You guys are the ones whining and trying to blame everyone else except for the party and their candidates who keep losing. I’ve been preaching this same shit since 2016, while an army of sycophants have emboldened the DNC leadership into adopting worse and worse policy even though it backfires on them (and the rest of us by extension) every single time.

    Here we are before the next election and what are you doing to change things other than pledging unconditional loyalty to a nearly thrice losing strategy. What do you think you’re accomplishing with this?
