Kamala will regret her support for the strikers instead of looking out for the American people who will lose out in the long run with price increases on just about everything.

I don't understand this argument. Functionally, you would see the same type of impacts from paying longshoremen more as you would with increasing tariffs. Both increase the price of goods being moved through U.S. ports. Both end up securing an economic benefit for a small subset of the American people (dock workers, workers in protected industries) instead of the American people overall (who consume the goods that get imported).

This seems a weird point to make against a candidate whose opponent is a strong advocate for tariff barriers....
