This piece was also published on Medium. For decades, Americans were evenly divided in their relative support of labor unions and big business, but that’s no longer the case. Now, Americans are more likely to side with labor than at any time in the past 60 years. For people whose instincts about economic and political…

    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

      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.

        Yeah, I’m pro-labour and I voted for Trump. There’s literally no difference between Trump and Biden, so I might as well pick the strong man who tells it like it is.

      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.

    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.
