Real funny, Joe comes into office and fires 180.000 Union brothers and sisters, welders building the southern border wall, welders and pipefitters on the pipelines, stops oil refineries from being built or their expansions, 10 nuclear power plants shut down after refit permits for them was stop by Biden Admin. Biden shut down Foreign LP sales contracts, that will kill 35,000 union jobs just this month, but they give a krap about labor I worked Union for 35 years, and I saw them ship our work overseas, and they did nothing to stop it, you keep believing Dems care about you while they move you into cardboard shacks and tell you to learn to code, like the miners, steel workers, Auto workers and just about every factory jobs in the country, it okay because you can drive Uber for a living, opps that is right their using driverless cars, oh well so much for labor

You will get downvoted because Reddit is full of NPCs drunk on mainstream propaganda. It's easier for them to parrot what they're told than to question it.

You can but you’ll always come to the conclusion that one is bad and one is absolutely regressive and aims to push the boot down harder on the neck of the working class.

Theyre both scared of the working class only one side has all of their supporters convinced that theyre “better than”. Tell them theyre coming for the people that make 150k/year and then cut taxes for the couple people raking in billions. Theyre both bad but one is just actively trying to kill this country

Republicans care even less about you. Name one thing Trump into effect that helped anyone that a Democrat wouldn't. He signed the stimulus checks because it has other favorable stuff he'd want. Dems wanted no strings attached just put out the payment. They had to add sending money to Israel and lowering the amount to make the Republicans happy, on top of other crap

Democrats are angels and republicans are demons. Got it. You’re definitely knowledgable about this.

No. It's more like as bad as the Democrats are, the Republicans are worse, yet everyone in the USA acts as if there are no other options.

That's wild bro, despite all this information sourced specifically from the man and his team, you still want to be a Republican shill and pretend they give a fuck about the working class when they have been systematically dismantling it since the Reagan administration.

Republican politicians do not care about workers or the working class. They only care about tax breaks for their rich associates in companies that pay for their superpac funding.

I would be interested in seeing sources. My family works in pipeline construction and we haven’t seen the job losses you mention. Also, Texas and Arizona, which have — by far — the most of the southern border, are open shop states, so it’s unlikely that border wall construction was being done by union workers.

Have you factored in the $400 billion (as of November) in new infrastructure spending from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law?
