    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.

    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.

    I’ve worked at two companies with union workers wearing their maga bullshit. Can’t wait until they have no union. Dipshits have fuckal for skills.

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

            This is depressingly funny. The irony is that everyone hates a know-it-all, and finds them insufferable, but they’re drawn to the know-nothing who promises the world, and fails to deliver the most basic of promises…

          It’s honestly what they deserve at this point. Honestly misinformation is a spook. Just Google it, if you’re wrong it’s your fault.

        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.”

    says that the Democrats have a messaging problem with working-class voters

    Every other comment here is ignoring this word to the point it almost seems intentional. Read it carefully. Low-income union voters who swayed Republican are voting against their self interests, yes. But this was not adequately communicated to them.

    This union leader isn’t saying that union voters are blameless. They are saying that union voters were fed destructive information which compounded with existing white supremacist and conservative bias.

    Lemmy read the post challenge, impossible.

      That’s both idiotic and irrelevant to the discussion at hand. Congratulations.
