    How is it weird? Unions will endorse him no matter what he does because he’s running against the red team, might as well fuck them over.

        Some people seem to think that Democrats need to actually do things to keep the unions loyal, like American politics is about trading favors and negotiating alliances. In reality all the Democrats need to do is point at the Republican boogeyman and the unions fall in line.

          I agree. The dems need to show more to the unions. But if they do that then they lose the donations from the bigger corporations. No matter what it’s a lose lose game for the workers

            A labor party would definitely have less money to work with, but more volunteers and their volunteers would more enthusiastic.

            It would get ugly, though. America’s government doesn’t like labor parties.
