  • 71 million in a country of 262 million adults. 27% voted for fascism. 74 million voted for trump in 2020. This wasn’t a shift towards fascism, but the opposition party utterly failing to win voters.

    The country has never been majority rule. Every modern election has split the country in thirds, about a third votes one way, a third votes the other and a third choses not to vote.

    Over 70% of voting aged americans did not vote for trump.

    edit: spelling correction.














  • As good as strategic endorsements are, its probably not feasible given union’s structure in the us. I’m not a UAW member, so I may be misinformed on specifics, but these things are usually done as a vote at a union convention, by union members who are volunteering to be a voting delegate on top of their normal job.

    Scheduling an emergency meeting to decide on endorsements pending a commitment from a candidate is not something you can reasonably do, especially when the voting membership are volunteers. Unions are democratic organizations, and can’t act quickly enough for strategic endorsements like you propose.

    Democrats in the white house means better members on the national labor relations board. That alone is enough to justify an endorsement even without any legislative concessions.




  • The problem is not presidential immunity. The problem is immunity and the president is just the highest profile job that has it. Politicians never do anything about the root cause, and only treat the symptoms.

    Police officers get away with murder because their job gives them immunity. Ceos, shareholders and other corporate staff have immunity as well.

    A president getting away with assassinating a political rival is just as unjust as letting a ceo get away with killing 346 people simply because their job gives them immunity for their actions.
