        UAW definitely had a hand in it. For the first time they didn’t endorse the democratic nominee. Don’t let them off the hook so easily.

          shrug kamala and biden were uniquely bad candidates, you know… supporting and enabling a genocide and all that. Never mind all the anti-labor nonsense that kamala demonstrated during her campaign.

          they didnt deserve any endorsements for that alone.

              But, lesser evil and all that.

              talk about beating a dead horse… and how did that actually in practice work out? kamala and biden never should have run. the problem with ‘lesser evil’ nonsense is everyone has different values of what is lesser. thusly it doesnt suggest what people think it suggests.

                  who said trump was the only other option on the ballot. you’re also ignoring the fact that ‘none of those’ is a valid ‘lesser evil’ option for many people.

                  if a party wants to win they need to court voters, dems havent done that since obama’s first run and that was a short period of 6 months before they threw it all in the trash can. They’ve been bleeding their base literally for 40 years now.

                  BNMW/lesser evil nonsense doesnt win elections.

                    Because there were only two electable options. But you already know this and are just dodging the question. Try again, in what way was letting Trump win the lesser evil for a progressive voter?
