If this country had a proper labor party, it would be foolish for a union to endorse the Democratic party.

But when the alternative is the party that has mandated (in many states) that union shops employ non-dues-paying scabs-to-be, union organizers would be fools not to endorse the Democratic candidate.

He was said to have the best fed sharks in the Caribbean. Political dissidents had a tendency to disappear during his reign.

Oh god, he doesn't know that Kamala Harris isn't Nikki Haley, does he?

Trump doesn't want pronouns. Trump does not want to be referred to.

Note for Trump supporters, voting is not mandatory in the US, you didn't have to vote this year either.

Guy from the rust belt against a guy who was there before it rusted

Didn't change him one bit.

Until, y'know, somebody tosses a couple of these near his next rally.

The Luddites had a point about the 'de-skilling' of work and the alienation of labor. And they regularly cross-dressed.

These people are just obsessed with enforcing misery.

Within two months and one week of each other.

Oh no! She might be denied a day and a half's fundraising.

The Dems hadn't actually nominated anyone for this election yet, that happens during the convention which is still a few weeks from now.

You could leave the top line blank or vote for the candidate trying to manifest her way into office, the Gates Foundation guy that won American Samoa, it the congressman who had Ackman's backing.

Or depending on your state about a hundred other people who somehow had even worse odds.

So are you suggesting Dean Phillips (the biggest non-Biden vote getter in the primary) or Jason Palmer (the only person other than Biden to win a primary, with American Samoa) should be the nominee?

There's plenty of Dems caught up in it, but the worst of the Silicon Valley scene supports the GOP.

Bilaji Srinivasan's Gray Pride pipe dream is based on using street paramilitaries to remove the (quite pro-capital) Democrats from power in the Bay area.

Now thankfully, he's too much of a fuckin' weirdo to bring a movement like that together, but the right wing already has groups like the Proud Boys and Patriot Front working on a similar political project.

At least when they didn't believe anything, they'll occasionally respond to pressure by caving instead of doubling down.

In Florida, the governor is going after any teacher who doesn't write him a letter saying 'you're a very special boy and I like you very much'

In West Virginia, State employees have gotten a raise almost every year since the 2018 teacher strike.

And I'm pretty sure a lot of the difference is that him Justice just likes his money and staying in office.

Every vote for Biden in Steubenville is another vote that somebody in Cleveland doesn't have to counter, so yes, vote.

The electrical vote is state by state (with two states, Maine and Nebraska divying all but two of those votes one per congressional district), so your vote in a swing state matters.

Mel Carnahan won his Senate race.

Yeah, machine guns existed, but Europeans had pretty much only pointed them at Africans until one year after this picture was taken.

Not left, not right but center somehow ever farther right.

Maybe this rally indicates that when the 'not left, not right, but center' crowd is forced to make a choice they won't empower the Petainists.
