  “One and only” my ass. Every single Democrat governor will send in strike breakers just as quickly as any gop governor. Both parties serve capital.

  “One and only?” Joe Biden literally busted the railroad union just a few years ago and the majority of the dems/dnc supported it. I smell some re-writing of history up in here.

    The key word being governor. Joe was a senator and president, NOT a governor

    As much as I dislike Joe Biden he did actually do a good job there of making sure the workers got their demands without having to strike. The union even ended up thanking him for it a while after all the media attention died down on it.

      This is completely untrue. The workers did not have a choice on any of the demands (hence reason for striking) or the settlement. They had no choice. To me, that is not a good job. You sound like a neo-liberal.

    He continued to negotiate for those workers even after stopping the strike (which is not union busting, the union still exists). You’d have been nothing when prices shot up even more if he let the railroads shut down, too, I bet

  He seemed actually okay until Trump got elected. But he's a multi-millionaire, so there was always the risk he was going to side with "his kind of people" before the rest of us

  For instance, he had the case of Elijah McClain reopened. I only mention it because I hope a lot more people hear about Elijah McClain and keep him alive in their memories.

    I was just going home. I’m an introvert. I’m just different. That’s all. I’m so sorry.

  The democrats are facists too they just try to conceal it. We need a workers party.

    Conservatives are pro money. Liberals are pro money with rainbows.

    Workers should own their own labor and have a right to be safe at work.

    I dunno, worker’s party sounds like it buys into the capitalist system. People who are retired, stay at home caretakers, and a ton of other people who don’t work for a living should be included because the work that people do supports them as well.

    We need a party for the general population. A real People’s Party…

    Dammit!

    We really do need a party for the general population’s interests though, but all the good ones are taken by malicious actors.

  As much as we’re happy to have Pritzker in IL he busted unions in his own businesses before he was governor.
