"When President Trump invited me to speak at this convention, there was political unrest. On the left and on the right. (It's) hard to believe. Anti-union groups demanded that Trump rescind the invitation. The left called me a traitor. This is precisely why it's so important for me to be here today. Think about this: The Teamsters are doing something correct if the extremes of both parties think I shouldn't be on this stage."
Sean O'Brien, Teamsters President @ RNC
Literally doing the meme of "I know I'm right if everyone hates me".
I was reading this axios article earlier thats basically saying the same thing I mostly rolled my eyes at it but found it mildly interesting as an experiment to observe whether or not classically following the american union tradition of tailiing the democrats will yield more benefits for the unions and the wider working class or playing as third party willing to withhold support or even throw in with whoever's willing to grant greater concessions will yield more benefits for the unions and the wider working class.
Personally I'd much rather see a stronger electoral third party to ensure some actual bullying of shitlibs can occur but we'll have to make do with what we got since the american communist movement is still trying to rework themselves into the unions and have zero say on any issue.
