You should have fucking voted like it then

Voted... for who, exactly? I mean screw Trump of course, but there certainly was no pro-labor candidate in the November election. DNC leadership made sure of that.

I was about to say it's never too late to start, but it kinda is, isn't it?

Not if the Sov-Cit nutjobs start bring guns to the white house 😏

I wish they would cos they’d just get deaded real quick and then the leftists will be the majority gun holders

There was a candidate that supported workers?

I wish they were on the ballot.

When there isn't a candidate that supports workers/labor/unions, then you vote against the candidate who is actively opposing them.

We need to actually take advantage of this momentum and push a more left candidate that supports labor, and is willing to platform, loudly, on labor rights. We do have a couple people that would do this, but will we, as a country, try to grab that momentum. We shall see.

Americans are fucking stupid and always side with capitalism over their own self interests cos we can’t go any further left than liberal

I like to hope so but I saw the same kind of optimism leading up to 2024 and the composite polls simply didn't agree.

Corporations be like, "Unions are corrupt and steal your money!"

"They want your signature!"

...i'll believe it when i see it

Americans need a second revolution, democracy will not bring about pro-labor candidates or even moderate labor only far right and slightly less far right. If workers are slowly becoming class conscious then they must be willing to break their chains.

Down with reaction, down with subversion, down with tyranny

Always been a union family, love them! Hope even more people join them.
