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!

Way back in 1980, Ronald Reagan used his leadership of the Screen Actors Guild to pump himself as a 'Union President.' Once of his first official acts was to destroy the striking PATCO union [which had been one of the few unions to actually support him.]

But in a national electronic poll that was open from July 24 through September 15, Trump held an advantage (59.6% to 34%) over Harris among union members. In a separate union survey, Trump also led Harris — this time 58% to 31%.

It's still genuinely disturbing to me that Harris has a history of strong support of unions and is making it a part of her campaign while the orange turd is tied to completely eliminating unions...yet still has a strong advantage in union polls. My cousin is IBEW and said their union leaders are outright telling them they should vote Harris because the orange turd will kill unions

I thought it made complete sense. These guys are in their trucks all day listening to talk radio, of course they're going to prefer Trump.

Oh I thought that was Colin Robinson at first glance
