"YES IF YOU ARE IN A CRITICAL INDUSTRY YOU HAVE LESS OF A RIGHT TO STRIKE"

Entire thread on r/news is just the same sentiment of libs worried about their treats while the rest of America is already stuck in poverty and the world suffers already from American economic dominance.

edit for clarity.

    Also notice that it’s not, critical workers are being underpaid and exploited to the point of striking, so let’s blame the owners for the impact to the economy.

    Are you expecting liberals to follow a chain of cause and effect with multiple steps?

        They can't do that either. Ask a liberal who claims to be sympathetic to Palestinians and lives outside of a swing state why they're voting for Kamala. There's no chance they identify that providing affirmative support to a candidate who does not need it outside of swing states does nothing but give the candidate more room to ignore pressure from voters.

          Oh no no, I didn't mean convincing people. I mean the steps for online registration in pain-staking detail while pasting that god-forbidden vote link. The one thing I've seen them organizing for is copy and pasting "Check your registration!" like they're doing a civic duty.

          Honestly, I'm convinced for a good chunk of them it's just like a cultural thing. "The state says we vote at certain time of year and then go and cast vote for blue and red and that is our civic duty. Vote blue."

            There’s definitely an element of “If we don’t perform the voting ritual the democracy gods will be angered” going on.

            For a lot of them it's literally their job. I should do a effort post on the campaign-industrial complex someday.

                This was a good read from the perspective of running for Congress:
