Sanders was joined on stage by United Auto Workers president Shawn Fain, who wore a T-shirt reading "Eat the Rich" and told the audience that "billionaires don't have a right to exist."
careful now. I understand that kind of ultra violent rhetoric is illegal on reddit.
- This isn't reddit.
  
  thankfully.
  
  It's still lemmy.world though
  
  Earnestly, consistently, and collaboratively. Never retreat, never surrender.
- Is that the same guy that went on stage at the RNC convention last year?
  
  that was teamsters president sean o'brien. he was roasted a bit for agreeing to do it, but he delivered a pro-union rant.
  I really cant find much fault here. republicans in general and trump in particular dont give a shit about workers, but delivering a pro-union message directly to republican-curious viewers was probably a net positive. besides, support is earned not owed. do better (fucking sigh) democrats.
  
  Appreciate the information, as I didn't have time to look it up myself at the moment
- You love to see it!
