Unions went for Biden 56/40 in 2020 https://www.cnn.com/election/2020/exit-polls/president/national-results
Unions went for Harris 55/43 in 2024 https://www.politico.com/news/2024/11/06/harris-democrats-union-harris-votes-00187943
Dems lost ground and Trump picked up a not a small amount. They are voting against their self interests.
That’s not the take we need. Need to really spell-out, for fucking idiots, an Us (workers) vs Them ($$$) platform.
So these union workers were upset that the sitting president wanted to march with them in their strike? He personally didn’t let the forced breaking stop his administration from getting the union’s demands?
These Union Workers looked at the union busting Trump and Vance and said “Yep!”
They don’t live in reality. If they did they’d realize that through a Harris administration they’d have the upper hand when organizing against unfair labor practices and the corporate foot soliders.
First, I’d buy multiples of everything from the LDS pantry store.
If I could do one more thing it would be to download kiwix and everything on wikipedia
Neither need to debase themselves for this nonsense.
Blaming people that don’t live in reality should be expected.
These union workers don’t have an economic anxiety. They have a racism, sexism, bigotism, vicitmism problem.
When the other side has candidates willing to say “I’ll break the law to change things” you really have to step up your game beyond “we’re better for long term growth and stability, and by the way we’re not the other guy and we ❤️ PoC.”
(Honestly it’s exhausting that this needs to be spelled out, it’s like national Democrats don’t know a single person who’s been left behind over the last 30y.)
Well put.
Wasn’t Biden the first sitting president to join the picket line? Didn’t Trump and Elon joke about killing the Unions? Seems it’s like the union workers need to wake up. Tired of pointing fingers. The unions have abandoned the democratic party. They grabbed Trump by the hand because he promised victimism.
When idiots are shouting about a “problem” that isn’t a problem the solution is to yell about a real problem louder. The economy would have been a good place for Harris to start.
That’s hard to disagree with. Kerry couldn’t beat Bush even though he was a respectable Senator who also was a drafted Purple Heart war hero in Vietnam. A “Standard Democrat” can’t win in a time of aggravation. You need someone on the verge of Fire Brand to rally the troops.
Clearly anything can be the truth. Just yell loud, have a good propaganda arm, and a solid amount of cult members.
