If the Democratic Party is so pro-union, then 1) why aren't they passing the PRO ACT & 2) why aren't more Democratic politicians standing with striking workers on all those picket lines? Unless the Democratic party returns to its core values, it won't have a chance in '22 or '24.

I’m 100% voting third party in 22 and likely 24. Both R and D are simply fighting for corporate interests.

One much more so though (except on the military budget, where they’re the same). That’s the conundrum. It’s a cliché at this point to say “But the Supreme Court!” But it’s true.

It's a conundrum only to those open to being fooled time and time again.

You realize, or perhaps you don't, that if there were more Ketanji Brown Jacksons and few corporatists on the court, then we would be able to overturn Citizens United. You might not think that matters, but it does.

Not really…they give lip service to being slightly more woke, but in the end they all are serving the same masters - and it’s not the common guy! Dems have their flag issues just like GOP…but that’s all a game. They do the same things in practice 100%!

Don't forget Pfizer and Big Oil - These oligarchs own the Democrats as well. The differences you perceive are a performance. We need to reject the ENTIRE seamless corporatist duopoly.

Just remember the Democrats voted in favor of the GOP SCOTUS picks, this is who and what they are today .. the time of Democrats being pro-union died when Clinton took office or Reagan Jr I should say

I hear you but there are plenty just like Manchin that are happy to virtue signal for the working class but not legislate. I don’t buy the lesser evil thing anymore. Both R&D are much happier to have the fight rather than fix anything. Only solution is to destroy the duopoly.

1. Military spending 2. Inhumane immigration policy ala kids STILL in cages 3. Foreign policy that's driven by Nat Sec blob interested in playing puppet master in the world and opening new fronts for capitalist expansion 4. Crushing popular policy like health care for all

Yeah, too bad about that. Still not voting for Dems anymore.
