What’s baffling to me is that they did a member poll and apparently the members break for Trump nearly 2:1.

Something something leopards and faces, I guess… but holy fuck is it dismaying to see the membership of one of the biggest unions in the goddamn world support an overt fascist by such a margin. I suppose that that ratio says something about the average intellect of their members.

it truly is a sad thing to view. I'm 100% sure if conservatives weren't reaping the benefits of the left without giving anything in return in my union we'd be so much better off wage and benefits wise. I cannot comprehend how union members can support trump, who supports project 2025 and therefore the stripping of our rights we've fought for for over 100 years to get to the place they're at now.

they were invited to the RNC and but not to the DNC. i think that may have played a role.
