Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

O'Brien's non-endorsement ended up being a boon to Harris - if the national leaders had endorsed her, it would have been in the news for a day. Now, instead we get a nice drip-drip of local leaders lining up to lend actual grassroots support, which is actually effective at things like maximizing turnout, and local endorsements end up in local news.

I keep telling people that union leaders are way more clever than they realize, but people keep assuming that O'Brien is working on the surface level.

I never thought about it this way! But yes good to see the benefit in the grassroots.

I just put together that y'all aren't talking about the transporter room Chief.

Maybe that's the real mistake that that Hoffa guy was actually talking about lol

My cousin is IBEW in Ohio. He outright said that their union branches outright telling them that the orange turd will end unions if elected. This does make me feel a bit better, but there are problematic people who value being racist more than they value their jobs

He's right. Also, project 2025 assholes will rework overtime rules so no one will get overtime pay.

Oh, you have a contract, you say?

Bless your heart, say hello to a 6-3 decision that invalidates your contract.

The UAW has called me saying that. I haven’t been in their union in years

just after national said they would not endorse anyone trump claimed they endorsed him. its like he thinks he wins all ties.

[–] elliot_crane@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

He does think that. He’s the kind of guy that if you made a good move against him in a board game, he would flip the table over then claim since nobody can prove he lost, it means he won.
