Alternative Headline: Union boss who sold out for power flip-flops after angering its paying members and realizing he will likely lose current position next union election cycle. This and more at 11…
Did you watch his speech? He wasn’t there cause he sold out. He was there to give a message. Your kneejerk reaction shows you didn’t even watch his speech.
Most lemmings don’t seem to be able to get past a sophmore level of analysis on politics.
To Lemmy users who just don’t get it: The headline was “Headline speaker at night one of RNC refuses to endorse Trump”
Sean O’Brien used the RNC as a platform to deliver the most pro-labor, pro-progressive, anti-capitalist speech of ALL TIME. As in, hands down, the most progressive speech, at ANY major party political convention EVER.
He took the platform, and didnt endorse the candidate. Do you have any idea how big of a fucking deal that is?
If you are mad that Sean O’Brien took the opportunity to use a platform he was offered to speak truth to power, this is you:
Full disclosure I haven’t watched the speech, but I can believe it was in good faith, no doubt pro-labor/anti-capitalist. (btw, it’s crazy how bad the Democratic party has alienated the working class)
What I can’t believe is these disturbing-ass memes you’re posting lmao…I hate them very much and wish I could unsee. Good job!
I’m literally agreeing with you. Not sure what you’re fixing about my phrasing – I didn’t watch the speech, so yes, I am ignorant, but am willing to guess that your comment was totally correct.
I’m also saying your meme-game disturbs my meme-less brain.
But I guess according to you, I have no idea what I’m talking about so in that case…you’re wrong? Idk what youre trying to say dude all I know is that just because O’Brien spoke at the RNC doesn’t somehow automatically make him a Trump supporter
To be fair it hasn’t paid dividends weeding through mountains of vitriolic, bigotry and small-mindedness for a literal diamond in the rough. It’s not too far fetched to see how many could think speaking at a party convention for fascist asshats is a tacit endorsement.

just go watch the speech before commenting dude.
it’s like 4 minutes
my original comment was just meant to be a playful comment about your meme use rather than any analysis about the speech.
Like: “I agree with you, but can we talk about this thing or that?”
But honestly forget about it, next time I wont bother
Here, I’ll make it easy for you:

Yeah thats not happening
He didn’t sell out for power.
He sold out because Teamsters leadership is racist as fuck.
Did he sell out at all though?
