this was the first and only administration on my memory to openly support unions. They've done quite a few things to improve lives. They did help out their rich donors/friends/sympathithers but not even close to the scale POTUS45 done it.
In all honesty both Dems and Reps should go. Country deserves pluralism and not the false duality. BUT right now, at this moment in time Dems are the only real shot at moving forward. After election, start up the grill and hold their feet to fire and FORCE them to change then otherwise rally behind any other party and make damn sure they win next ellection. Doing so at 11th hour is reckless
*Most important election of our lifetime
In the 36 years I've been able to vote, every time it's the most important election of our lifetime. Caused by a self inflicted existential crisis.
We are not doing this at the 11th hour, many of us have been doing it all our lives.
then support for other parties should've been declared much earlier, never dangled like carrot in front of Dems, 'cause by now you should know it won't work. I get it. In present system there's very little chance of third party getting to power, but look at Canada - NDP was able to wield power with much lower representation. How? Minority government forces compromise and concessions. In other words it can be done, but work needs to start right after prior election, not before current
