I found an article from the pre-escalator era that mentions Bryce prominently: https://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/14/magazine/scott-walker-and-the-fate-of-the-union.html presented for your consumption quote:On his first day of work in three months, Randy Bryce asked his foreman for the next day off. He wanted to go to the Capitol in Madison, Wis., and testify against a proposed law. Bryce, a member of Milwaukee Ironworkers Local 8, was unloading truckloads of steel beams to build a warehouse near Kenosha, and he needed the job. He has an 8-year-old son, his debts were piling up and a 10-hour shift paid more than $300. But the legislation, which Republicans were rushing through the State Senate, angered him enough to sacrifice the hours. Supporters called it a “right to work” bill, because it prohibited unions from requiring employees to pay dues. But to Bryce, that appealing name hid the true purpose of the bill, which was to destroy unions. quote:After his discharge, Bryce briefly attended the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, but was found to have testicular cancer and dropped out to receive treatment. He lucked into an experimental trial at a medical college that cured him and eventually landed a job assisting homeless veterans. “I remember talking to a vet,” he said. “He was an atomic warrior in the Cold War, and he showed me his back. It looked like someone poured acid on it.” The government wouldn’t help the man, Bryce said, because he was unable to prove that the injury was caused by exposure to an atomic test. “It couldn’t have been made more clear to me that vets were disposable resources,” he said. Bryce heard about Local 8’s apprenticeship program from a patient in his mother’s office. After completing his four-year ironworker’s apprenticeship, he became more involved in the union. Since Act 10 passed in 2011, he has run unsuccessfully for State Senate and State Assembly and now serves as Local 8’s political coordinator. After protesting the passage of right-to-work laws in Indiana and Michigan, Bryce began a grass-roots organizing campaign against the bill in Wisconsin. quote:Bryce blamed the timidity of both union leaders and the rank-and-file, as much as the Republicans, for allowing Act 10 and right-to-work to become law. “People think that unions are useless today, that we’re dinosaurs,” he said. “Well, how did that happen? We let it happen. The labor movement has become lazy, because it’s something that’s been handed to us.” He leaned against his Mustang and stared out into the industrial landscape surrounding the parking lot.

the point of contention here is that the project itself is a temporary job, but that the skills and the work isn't temporary and can be easily transferred elsewhere, he's not wrong on that supporting dapl is bad but not remotely enough to outweigh everything else, he's also shown an ability to change his mind for the better when confronted on issues you voted for slay queen because bernie wasn't pure enough for you so I piss on your opinion, have your maid clean it up

the real reason dems don't want to address the income gap at all is cause if they do, a newly empowered working class might come to the realization that the 0.1% leading the world are all loving idiot children, and they might put a stop to the world where shitbirds like trump can live a worry free life despite how idiotic and useless he is

like, i don't understand why everyone insists on purity tests for candidates. you vote for the candidates you have instead of the candidates you want. it's called "the lesser of the two evils," maybe you heard of it? because i'm pretty sure we cannot afford to let perfect be the enemy of good. just get in line, centrists.

I mean let's not get all nihilistic here, the pipeline is a really lovely idea that's a bad deal for us and a good deal for Canadian oil companies that wanna sell to china. Bryce still rules, but that's a bad position I hope he changes.

WhiskeyJuvenile posted:his democratic opponent is also for single payer so I'm actually gonna agree with WJ here. I think that many of the folks in this thread sometimes become overly enthusiastic about certain candidates (like Buttigieg or Bullock*), and Bryce's Democratic opponent seems to share most of the same positive traits that he does. *Not saying there's anything wrong with these guys, but I think that they're often portrayed as more leftist than there's any reason to believe they actually are (this is more the case with Buttigieg, since I think there aren't many people saying Bullock is actually leftist so much as preferable in his state.

Buttigieg brought up Zuck in the first five minutes of his TED talk, I really don't get Al!'s love for him. Or was that logik? I don't even care. It screams trap. Never trust a Hoosier.
