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.

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.

These union workers don’t have an economic anxiety

My man I’m sorry but this is the stupidest take I’ve seen this month. The whole country is anxious about how they’ll pay their bills and the Democrats offered nothing to help with that. Trump made (false) promises about the economy and that’s how he won.

I’m just going to say that I one hundred percent agree with this guy with one caveat.

Unions need to also unfuck themselves too with their members who continually vote for Republicans.

Let me tell you I knew a few to many union members who voted down right to work while voting Republicans and then had a shocked Pikachu face when those same Republicans continue to ram right to work in the legislature. Hate to say it but their members aren’t the brightest.

Still, I agree this isn’t a chicken and the egg dilemma, Democrats need to step up and publicly have the workers back.

That’s not the take we need. Need to really spell-out, for fucking idiots, an Us (workers) vs Them ($$$) platform.

Start by telling them they’re stupid and that you have all the answers. That should do the trick.

Again, they don’t have the capacity to breath and think at the same time and decades of trying to get the damn horse to drink the water I’d prefer they die of thurst at this point.

The leopards will fead, and that will be my silver lining.

Always great watching Democrats showing naked hated for labor as opposed to their usual poorly veiled hatred.

It’s not hatred of labor. It’s hatred of those who vote against their best interests.

“Trump said he’s not going to tax my OT and I worked 900 hours OT last year. Fuck the Dems.”

“I don’t want you to have to work 900 extra hours to live a comfortable life.”
