That is precisely why I support far greater public investment in those workers' communities than what they receive currently, in terms of education, infrastructure, tax credits, social welfare, job and skills training, health care, and making it easier for workers to organize for higher wages and benefits. The Democrats are much better on these issues than the Republicans are.

Unfortunately, Democrats and liberals in general have little power to alleviate the negative effects of globalization on American workers, in spite of the very real benefits that globalization also has for consumers (especially the lower and middle classes, who simply can not afford to buy the products that would be considerably more expensive under protectionist policies. All of this has made globalization a zero-sum game, but as I said above, that by no means is inevitable.
