      When strike breaker Harris abandoned the working class, what did you expect, exactly? Workers aren’t beholden to party, and since you people will never vote third party, sometimes you have to go with the generic neoliberal instead of the one with marketable aesthetics.

        I expected him to not kiss Trump’s ass, but I guess that’s asking far too much of a fucking labor leader.

          In a binary system, when one choice has abandoned all facade of supporting the largest union in the country … What do you suppose they do?

          Trump is a simple creature, his last admin proved you can get downright progressive results by kissing his ass in a way that generates good publicity or profits. As a reminder Trump pardoned more nonviolent black prisoners than Biden has, because a set of rappers recognized his game and played it. Hell there’s a good chance Republicans are going to be the ones to legalize marijuana, not reschedule it, legalize it because they recognize how frustrated people are with Dems and it’s an easy, cheap, and ideologically consistent win.
