I’m dismissing union leadership decisions as nonsense, not the workers’ issues. We actually had something similar happen in my city with this election. City needed a debt override to be popularly voted in to finance construction of a much needed new fire department HQ, but the firefighter union (and really all unions) have a terrible relationship with the mayor so they campaigned AGAINST it. It failed. Now they won’t get the new HQ unless they fire a bunch of firefighters or, i dunno, have a wicked successful bake sale or some shit. It was literally in no one’s best interest for the ballot question to fail but pure political shitassery made them campaign against their own and everyone’s interests even when significant time and even money was spent explaining in excruciating detail why there was no other choice than the debt override for it to happen.
You can only do so much to explain things to people before the burden falls on them to (a) listen in good faith, and (b) try to not be dumbshits.
Oh, look. A liberal whose liberal holy cows has predictably failed to prevent (or even slightly resist) the rise of fascism is trying to blame leftists for their holy cow’s failure.
Unpopular candidate? Yeah, her rallies were ghost towns.
On Tuesday there was a spike in google searches asking why Biden wasn’t on the ballot and at least 15 million fewer people voted than the last presidential. You consider that popular?
Sounds like it doesn’t matter what she did at all. If that many people weren’t aware that Biden dropped out, she could have the perfect platform and it wouldn’t have mattered.

Lmao
Crawl under the covers and scream into your pillow about Palestine or whatever unforgivable issue made you let the country down by not supporting Harris
Lmaoo
IT. WAS. YOU. Fuck y’all.

The Trump campaign should pay you for all the covert advertising you do for them.

unions declining to endorse a Democratic presidential candidate.
15m less Democrats voted.
Eh I don’t think those 15 mil were dems anyway. Maybe ultra progressive with higher standards than what the dems have to offer.
Historical speaking Harris got standard dem numbers. No one ever got numbers like Biden.
Doesn’t matter how you label them. 15m people who voted dem last time didn’t this time (broadly speaking). That is Unpopular.
Which was purely political nonsense from the unions. And now a guy who held oligarchic union busting up as a good thing is in power.
It not purely political nonsense. It reflects the voter base.
The real problem is that people (like you) dismiss the workers opinion’s as “political nonsense” and subsequently lose elections.

Oh, Harris was actually popular? That’s good! When’s the inauguration?
She’s so popular she lost an amount of voters almost equivalent to the population of Pennsylvania when compared to Biden.
