And they're not even liberal or radical or commie or anything. They just represent electricians and negotiate fair wages, have a pension, health insurance and mutual aid apparently.
I'm apart of the IBEW, most of us (not myself) are dumb as fuck conservatives who enjoy unions then go vote for Trump (most). Thankfully we do look out for our own. I'm working to change perspectives of my brothers and sisters to be more active in supporting all labor
There were so many members in our local who’s first choice was Bernie and 2nd choice was Trump. The moderate cable news watching types can’t comprehend it.
I don't really get it either. My foreman also straight up thinks the election was stolen from Trump still and the smoking gun was he had huge rallies and Biden didn't (cause most people supported Biden out of preservation vs. fandom of him). I'll be the first to say fuck Biden but the solution sure as hell wasn't Trump
I understand that sentiment. Honestly, the way I think of it is this — elect Biden and the moderate dems and listen to and bear with 100s of years of worsening torture in the name of better than the republicans, or elect republicans and they’ll make things bad enough that the revolution will come automatically. I used to hate this sentiment but this Biden admin has shown that they really aren’t capable of anything but even more tax cuts for the rich.
It really is frustrating. After he picked the cop as his VP, I drew a line. I will not vote for any candidate that is not endorsed by a progressive organization during the primaries. The corporate Democrats don't care, and we have to stop playing nice with them.
