I voted for Harris considering I'm a marginalized person & understood the risks. But she lost the endorsement for multiple unions & organizations because she shifted policies towards the right & refused to listen to constituents. I blame yt supremacists who voted for 🍊 & the DNC cause they knew 1/? - ThreadSky

I just want to make it clear that I’m not judging or coming after you, I agree with the issues you bring up. It’s so complicated!

I worked a union job for 23 years, and trust me when I say the group as a whole got more radicalized as time when on. Even though they benefitted from a union, they hated UNIONS! I think the Right just does a better job at manipulating people. The DNC does not know how to do that.

That's also sad about the folk within your union. But I'm talking about the unions who backed Biden but refused to back Harris due to her policies (or lack of.) They didn't back Trump either. Harris just didn't wanna listen to Union leaders. 😕

Dem base tends to be better educated, more difficult to manipulate. But you shouldn't run based on how manipulative you are, instead just simply listening to your damn voter base. (Universal healthcare, abobo protections, no 💣🍉, etc) They know this too

dems still haven't learned a thing. did you see the weekly show with jon Stewart and hakeem jeffries? dems STILL absolutely refuse to support medicare for all. or even an expansion of it. jeffries genuinely believes the ACA is fine. his only legislative focus is to "defend" it.

I didn't, but I'm not surprised. Maybe we'll get lucky and the Dem socialist movement will gain even more traction... Assuming we'll even have elections in the future. 🥴

I’m not as hopeful that we will get any progress without some extreme suffering. Americans seem to hate helping each other. The last time we got any socialist programs through, was after the Great Depression and the end of Jim Crow. Having said that, my husband and I wont stop fighting.

What at stake but it wasn't worth losing their PAC $$. Also don't forget the DNC funded MAGA candidates at the midterms. 🤡 2/2
