Yes and, labor unions have foregone bonuses in moments like that. The working class has had to pry those bonuses back.

I don’t think contracts are as rigid as most people would imagine. Especially if the rank and file vote not to collect on the bonus.

The math do be mathing though.

That’s the fault of the democratic party. They know the level of education the population holds.

Furthermore, I think this is an ideological issue. Liberalism isn’t working anymore.

Regrettably most of these people saw an avenue they thought would benefit them economically.

They didn’t vote with their brains, they voted with their wallet and based on what they’ve heard.

Or I’d imagine, if the bonuses were part of the hypothetical collective bargaining agreement’s verbage, as an entitlement.

This comment spoke to me. I’m in the trades as well. I vote blue because, its further left than I can get from the red party.

Best of luck. We will need it.

Riley: Oh, yes, the victim! At what point does personal responsibility become a factor in this equation?

Dubois: I don’t think that’s–

Riley: I see piss coming, I move.

Huey: mmm

Riley: She saw piss coming, she stayed.

Dubois: Yes, she did, but–

Riley: And why should I have to miss out on the next R. Kelly album! Just for that?!

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again. I love the work Lina Khan is doing. Its going to be so sad when Kamala gives her the boot :(

The alienation of labor is real. Hang in there, we’ll need you when things get better.

I would categorize them as conservative institutionalists. Which, in my opinion, the liberals have an easier time appealing to them ideologically.

Electorally thats a benefit and, thats the minimum we need against fascists right now.

Televise this, just as Carlin intended.

More rams than a shepard. Respect.

Mad lad, hats off to you. If I have 6 or more open I start to feel uncomfortable.

I don’t think I’ve ever had 63 tabs open on my browser. Well done.

I hope they break up google. I’ll keep my fingers crossed. I’m remaining cautiously optimistic.

I am not a German, so I appreciate you explaining that to me. As an American I’d love to say the same about our judiciary.

Oh I’m not advocating for letting them remain in a position of political influence.

I’m asking what mechanisms beyond simply banning them will need to be implemented? I’m thinking banning them is only a bandage solution.

So, for the sake of argument, if AfD is banned would they not just became a paramilitary group?

What’s to stop them from devolving into something more ‘nefarious’ if they are stripped of political power?

That could very well be true. I chose to believe he doesn’t really believe he is making the country ‘great’. He is simply reading from fascisms playbook, as a result of late capital.

I agree, that some might say he subscribes to palingenetic ultranationalism. Yet, I think that would make him a fascistic collaborator.

Either way its all bad news.

In my personal opinion trump isn’t ideologically fascist. I would consider him opportunistically fascist.

I believe he wields his rhetoric for his own personal gain. I’m thinking he would just as quickly change his rhetoric if it advantaged him.

None of what I’ve seen from the current GOP tells me any one of them has the same saucy charisma as trumf. He’s not built like them, his defining trait with the GOP is that he’s a garbage human being.

I’m still waiting for my 40 acres and a mule.
