This is the tweet that started it

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

Anyways

    The dumbest part is it really doesn’t matter. Union endorsements don’t move votes like it used to, and if the Teamsters leadership endorsed Kamala in spite of the member votes it would’ve made her support look artificial. Best to just shut up about it.

      Half the Teamsters are voting for Trump no matter what the union says. They think of the union as a guys' club to complain about your boss and grill with your bros.

      They are basically influencers and their rabid supporters are parasocials creatures.

      This is like if you are worshipping your financial adviser after they negotiate you a renewal of mortgage with a 2% increase in interest

    You gotta respect her walking up to a gun fight with no bullets. Like, yeah, tell me about the history of strong support of labor from the DNC. She is just so excited to trip over her dick on this one.

    Aoc went from saying Kamala shouldn’t be president to defending her honor against Jill Stein and Teamsters.

    She hasn’t been the same since Elon Musk ratioed her.

        in like 50 years or whatever

        If she were to run and win in 2028 - she'd have a name change befitting her station. And Senator Ocasio-Cortez would already be on her way to being the yet another Senator Neo-Lib saying stuff like Medicare for All is "unrealistic".

    she's also tweeting against chris cuomo's enthusiasm for terror against children. we're not really in it for consistency with anyone clown enough to think that they can do anything with the levers of power but push the throttle a little further out. starting to think that all public officials should just be banned from all social media.

    Picking a fight with one of the only famous and functioning unions in the US. Smart.
