Brainiac Five posted:Characterizing a Jewish person as a phony infiltrator attempting to hijack politics from real Americans is sketchy. So is using terms like "donor class", and singling out Jewish people as exemplars of this "donor class" that apparently is distinct from the bourgeoisie. There are perfectly innocent explanations, I am sure, but y'all can't control your fool mouths for long enough to throw some bloodthirstiness at auto execs alongside "unmanly" industries like finance and entertainment. Well his single issue is unquestioning welfare for Israel. Maybe that welfare could be spent on the American people. He gets listened to though because he has money while those wanting say free college that we could spend money on are ignored. That is wrong. Sorry to see you support silencing so many. But that is the nature of Maoists.

They still turned out to vote for him when he was either perceived as a change agent or when his opponent was successfully presented as a predatory vulture capitalist. The answer to this is that plenty of passively racist midwesterners will vote for a non white person with a funny name if they can be made to believe its in the not being condescended to.

I'd say it's more that Dems have surrendered the ground in those states for eight years is what's happening. Just look at how badly they have done despite facing horrible republican governors in most cases. Also consider that in Michigan and Ohio you had huge setbacks in referendums for the GOP. The people there want good governance but the Dem parties in those states are controlled by incompetent idiots. Purge them.

Yes Keith Elllison is a noted panderer to white supremacists. I love the logic of centrists. Its kind of why of the past five elections counting mid terms they have lost three. You know what? I an a straight white male from the top ten percent. I'll vote dems in local and state elections. I'll push Ellison in 2020. If Booker wins? Because you guys rigged the game? Then I'll vote Solidarity. Does the country get worse? Yes. But am I really at fault? No. Because you filth can't ever admit when you're wrong. You can't admit that HRC was a bad candidate. You cannot admit that selling out so many workers (alot of whom were blacks ) to trade agreements was wrong. You filth losing more means more anger at you. So after 2020. My types can just kick you out of the party permanently. Now I know you types will say, "HAVE FUN WITH THE FASCIST". Well I don't have anything to be scared of, now some of you may.

Sure, unions are facing challenges today as the protections they won back then are now being rolled back...but that's nothing compared to the challenges they faced back in labor's heyday, when not only did they lack those protections but the Supreme Court also said it would be unconstitutional to grant them those protections!
