I attack defeatist attitudes, for sure.
There is one party that has tangibles that is open to positive change and the structure to implement that change. To toss out the baby with he bathwater is ridiculous. The party isnt useless. It’s influence-able and malleable. So yes, I will discard attitudes of defeat.
That is fucking ridiculous. The woman who flipped was the daughter of an extremely popular state dem.
Greenwashing bastards
The NC Dems just won the Governor, Lt. Governor, Attorneys’ General, Superintendent, NC Supreme Court Seat, and broke the GOP super majority in the state legislature
Government contract money. Our money.
They were probably taking about the Tennessee Valley Authority. It’s a big deal even if you’ve never heard of it.
Just like with bad food it’s only every worth complaining about when you can affect the general business… Not the server helping you.
Good news, frog legs are delicious. But yeh. We’re fucked. I know it. But getting super pissy about every norm and small infraction is just a way to exhaust the public.
We should not point out a single infraction until that broken law is enough to actually spark a national uproar for impeachment. Otherwise we boil the public frog.
Seemed to work this year
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.
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.
