Teamsters and other labor leaders have also spoken out to state their support for the Vice President:

Too bad for Trump and MAGA.

O’Brien is a pussy.

All that may be true but that isn't what made the headlines.

Does that matter?

If any of the story is an issue that's the most important part.

The Truth is the most important part.

What the leadership may think is not always the same as the members. They will vote for who they think best represents their interests. Yes, unions have traditionally supported the Democrat Party but the members today can see their jobs being eroded and inflation destroying any wage gains they may have. An endorsement from the Union is unnecessary, it's members will vote as they see it..

reply

Thank you for posting this. I personally know union members who intentionally vote AGAINST what their union endorses, simply because they believe in thinking for themselves.

lol

Why are so many people determined to let this manchild of a coup leader get what he wants?

Do y'all REALLY want another 4 years of MAGA drama and conspiracy theories with nothing getting done?

reply

Just think... If stupid MAGAs picked a younger, smarter and educated candidate for president then they probably would have won in November. Now MAGA's are stuck with a dementia patient who is way too old to be president and convicted of 34 felonies. Most americans will not vote for that.

reply

No, we all want 4 years of an incompetent, conceptless, cackling idiot like Scamela... 🙄

reply

Remember that time she unironically said "I have a concept of a plan" in front of millions?

reply

Yeah, that was really convincing... 😏 But she can top it with the idea for a concept of a plan...
