And also please tell me what right wing coalition is going to support health care, a living wage, and union organizing

I cannot believe people with this much experience can fall for libertarian platitude and Marjorie Taylor Greene tweets and decide that the "left" needs to form a coalition with the :live-tucker-reaction: resistance front

Jackson Hinkle one of these people who would clearly be a part of this "left right coalition" said

Haz, chimes in: there are a lot of fat women on codepink. Hinkle: yes they’re ugly

among other things after she dipped out of the "antiwar conference" these people are not your friends and not even your short term allies.

the highest liked response to this tweet is from the LaRouche senate candidate :data-laughing:

    Lol. The important thing in unions is that the left controls them. The right doesn't care as long as the wage increases keep coming. I'm not sure how you could make that work work in an anti war coalition, especially when I'm not convinced the right actually believes it.

      The left doesn't control like, a ton of unions. The point is you can form unity with people you disagree with to achieve a goal that you do agree with. Not only that, but in the process you can bring people together and build solidarity that can extend outside of that union.

      Just saying "not my comrade" about everybody to the right of Hexbear dot net is fundamentally demobilizing.

        Yeah, but the left generally (like, social democrats) represents the majority of unionized workers through SEIU, NEA, CWA and progressive locals of other unions.

        My point was that leadership of diverse coalitions is important.

        I guess the question is, "do right-wingers oppose US wars because they are opposed to western imperialism?" It just feels hard to believe they are. It feels more like right-wingers trying to graft themselves onto what has historically been a left-wing movement, in order to neuter it. Feels hard to turn being against war into something off-putting to regular people, but people like Hinkle could do it.
