      Great way to reduce membership numbers in a pretty violent way, also union membership isn’t high enough to be a real general strike.

        How else do you think labor is going to get anywhere under a Trump regime? Have you already forgotten he and Elon joking about firing people for trying to unionize?

          The way the teamsters are going about it, making friends with and directly interacting with Trump.

              Trump can be bought and controlled cheaply. He commuted hundreds of sentences of prisoners that he is racist against, because people played to his ego.

              That’s more hope than anyone had with Harris, who spent a career ensuring innocent people and non violent offenders got the max sentence for whatever dumbass bullshit her cops came up with.

                  Me? I think they’re the same, but Trump is less competent, thus it’s easier to trick him into acting against the interest of capital. But it doesn’t matter what I think, the union leaders feel the same way and they’re the ones elected to handle the political side of the union.
