    Did any union support Trump? I know Teamsters didn't endorse, but that's not the same as supporting Trump.

    Obviously cop unions are always supporting Republicans, but nobody serious considers that union support.

      Cop unions are "fake" because cops are class traitors. My opinion anyway. But yes no one considers their endorsement because obviously they always support the most right wing candidate, usually the republican... although now days they're literally both full pro-cop parties

      And i assume the person isn't talking about the union as an entity or its leadership but rather the unionized workers who belong to the union. Many voted for Trump. Not that surprising considering Biden offered very little to them and fully failed to communicate what he did offer (and Harris too later on). When the entire election is social issues vs social issues and class issues are effectively off the table (in any meaningful way) then people who don't pay much attention of course vote for the hog taking a better social issues story for them to believe in.

      Literally the meme of Eric shooting Hannibal then asking "Why would Donald Trump do this?" Eric is the DNC/libs and Hannibal is "the working class" which includes people who actually work for a living. They blame Trump for their own failure to reject neoliberal capitalism that has been failing 90% of the population for 40-50 years.

      What do you mean? Of course not endorsing is the same as supporting Trump. Also not voting is supporting Trump. Not giving money to Democrats is supporting Trump. Not having enough money to give enough of it to the right Democrats is supporting Trump.

        Dems: A vote for 3rd party is a vote for Trump

        GOP: A vote for 3rd party is a vote for Kamabla

        Synthesis: Voting 3rd party is the true unity option because it's the only way of voting twice without committing voter fraud
