    Reminder: this is the same Teamster that spoke at the Republican convention, making these comments to Tucker Carlson.

    You probably shouldn’t take this at face value and assume this was her attitude toward labor in general.

      It’s bullshit on it’s face. Biden told Congress they should pass the PRO Act, Harris echoed that ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL.

      One of the provisions of the PRO Act is to gut right-to-work laws by allowing Unions to collect dues from every employee at a Union shop.

      So the guy is just lying about that, of course there’s no way for me to know if she wagged her finger in a Teamster’s face.

        Excuse my ignorance on American doublespeak, but does the “right to work” just mean the “right for companies to employ scabs”?

        It’s imbecilic to make a comment like this when someone is making it explanation of something else.

        If all you have to say in this thread are childish insults and attacks, degrading from the conversation and not contributing to it at all, leave the platform, no one wants you here. Go back to Reddit.

          How can you still be defending a campaign that failed so miserably. It failed, learn something from that or get used to losing your whole life

            Yes, democrats are vegetative. You can see my comment history, im the first one to point that out. But you are even worse than democrats if you actually thought that trump was the winning option.

                🤦

                I’m going to assume you are being intentionally obtuse. Its very simple.

                Trump bad.

                Any other option good in comparison.

                Arguing good option bad means you are arguing in bad faith.

                  Yes Trump bad, that’s why I want the dems to run a candidate that isn’t a delusional failure so that we can keep Trump from doing bad things. The only way that “good” people can stop bad people is by winning power.

                    I agree. Now that we are not in an election year, it would be a good idea to attempt to do something about that. But spreading division in an election year is why we now have the worst possible outcome. Thats the glory of the two party system and the illusion of choice.

      With who her enemy was, it doesnt matter who she said it to. The fact that she had to say it in the first place means Teamsters is an enemy of the country.
