The Chamber must like high taxes, regulation, and bad trade deals. Who knew?

The Chamber of Commerce is deep state.

TheDemocrats excitedly embracing of this toxic vehicle for the 1% AND the endorsement of a guy who basically killed ppl onetoughnerd is really making inroads with energizing the disenfranchised parts of their base 😝
