    characterizing an argument that specific union heads should negotiate differently in the interests of their rank and file as an anti-union stance is... creative, i’ll give you that

    so like, those are opinions people can have. they aren't what I agree with, but they aren't like transphobia or racism - they don't make someone an awful person, maybe just misguided. The weight of this election severely counteracts any minor obfuscations like floating a Kasich cabinet pick. I'm disgusted that you have a problem with the most progressive major party presidential candidate ever!

    If Trump and the Republicans announced the "Stimulus Payback" where the Federal Government will confiscate $1200 from the accounts of every American that makes less than $75k and give it directly to Jared Kushner... Trump supporters would be all for it.

    This is a very precariously worded message board post lol. There’s something insidiously evil and vile about, like, wanting to r--- and murder a black trans person. Not the same thing as critiquing unions which sometimes do have a history of corruption, mob affiliations or whatever lol. Like u could say “ummmmmm sorry but being anti-[wearing seat belts, protecting the rain forests] is absolutely as ~~~materially harmful to people as genocide

    pls stop jerking yourself off on a message board to feel superior to grimace. we can all admit that denying public sector workers their bargaining rights a. is part of a broader push to erode all labor power in the country, b. has serious material impact on workers, especially re: their healthcare, and c. is completely antithetical to everything the democratic party claims to stand for.

    what lol. this is crude and inappropriate

    ? ur arguing with a shadow as always. i was parsing out your kneejerk comparison between a discussion over labor and, like, gay bashing. im 100% pro union, thats my lineage as a mass dem, so theres no objection to what ur saying in a vacuum (though the grandstanding, on an eminem forum is like, okkkkkk. i dont need a lecture on labor's role in american life ty!)

    lets face the reality here, what this is rly about, as i sense u shifting the debate goal posts.. per usual. its ~~immaterial what kasich's views on union rights are if he's sod. even if, say, he's inclined to keep the trans ban - which i dont think he would genuinely - he almost certainly would defer to biden. this is not the same thing as appointing someone like betsy devos as secretary of education. and anyhow, thats Literally what the vetting process is for. and if it brandishes biden's bipartisan/nostalgia persona in rust belt suburbs, great! (and, again, you yourself are opposed to a union that literally guarantees life insurance, disability benefits, and counseling services to like, 700,000+ american families. thats a separate debate but it underscores i think how delicate this stuff is irl.)

    These are debates to be had in, like, January. Will Biden always earn progressive approval? no. Sometimes that will be his own doing, sometimes it'll be political circumstances, including augmented by progressive tactical overreach.

    @Enigma u can like this post or dont, but u rly should!

    dear reader pls note: he cant rebut me, so hes creating a diversion by claiming *im* the one shifting the goal posts lol.

    am i the one who hopscotched over an honest question why (some..not all) union encroachment is on par with what the AMA described as the epidemic murder of trans ppl in the US?
