I dont really get the strategy here, Sean O’Brien is a white supremacist yea, but the teamster presidential poll shows most of its members want trump over Kamala, the leadership deciding not to back any candidate its good for the dems since if they back anyone it would be trump

In case anyone thought racial problems in the Teamsters is new under O'Brien.
O'Brien praised Tobin when running for his position, the racist, picket-line crossing, pro-business former Teamster's leader.
The Teamsters were famous for pushing "skilled" vs "unskilled" worker distinctions. Only skilled workers needed union protections. You could usually tell if a worker was considered skilled by their skin color.
The Teamsters have always been the union that your boss wants you to choose if they have to let you pick a union. They have everything a boss wants: no strikes, keep people divided via racism, crush any talk of socialism, no qualms about crossing picket lines and being scabs to "raid" a more principled union as a method of hostile, boss-assisted growth.
