Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Shaun Fain held the line and got his union significant raises. He’s anything but stupid.

That said, I wonder how many members of the union will vote for Trump even though he actively works against their best financial interests.

probably more than you would ever estimate.

Donnie's insults are noticeably lacking lately. And insults are 97.3% of what he uses his brain cell for. Maybe he's depressed, because he knows he's going to be the biggest fucking loser (again).

If this country had a proper labor party, it would be foolish for a union to endorse the Democratic party.

But when the alternative is the party that has mandated (in many states) that union shops employ non-dues-paying scabs-to-be, union organizers would be fools not to endorse the Democratic candidate.

Don't forget he's a racist and a rapist with 34 felonies. Just for fun, picture the repulikkklown party together in a room watching a verdict for Obama catching 34 felonies for election interference.... Meanwhile, Dementia Don is their guy...

Says the dipshit that just talked shit to google. I would be really scared if Dementia Don the weirdo racist rapist with 34 felonies that can't complete a coherent sentence was actually intelligent. But, since he has two brain cells fighting for third place, I can sleep at night knowing he's going to get his ass kicked in November.
