The way the teamsters are going about it, making friends with and directly interacting with Trump.
Infinite growth is impossible. It doesn't matter if we achieve luxury gay space communism, there is a maximum comfortable limit to the population based on technology and resource balance.
We need depopulation, or perfect terra forming technology. Since we don't have the latter, encouraging a voluntary form of the former is good until we do.
Great way to reduce membership numbers in a pretty violent way, also union membership isn't high enough to be a real general strike.
In a binary system, when one choice has abandoned all facade of supporting the largest union in the country ... What do you suppose they do?
Trump is a simple creature, his last admin proved you can get downright progressive results by kissing his ass in a way that generates good publicity or profits. As a reminder Trump pardoned more nonviolent black prisoners than Biden has, because a set of rappers recognized his game and played it. Hell there's a good chance Republicans are going to be the ones to legalize marijuana, not reschedule it, legalize it because they recognize how frustrated people are with Dems and it's an easy, cheap, and ideologically consistent win.
It's shooting yourself in the foot to stop foot cancer that was metastasized from hand cancer, to correct your metaphor. And the actual alternative is to start doing some Luigi's Special towards every CEO and politician.
We're not there yet, so voting third party, even pointlessly, is the only effective action left.
...Biden and Harris broke multiple strikes.
Yeah, great, they advocated for the PRO act the same way they advocated for m4a or a ceasefire in Palestine.
Both need to happen for a strike to be effective, and yeah that sucks for people wanting cheap throwaway nonsense.
When strike breaker Harris abandoned the working class, what did you expect, exactly? Workers aren't beholden to party, and since you people will never vote third party, sometimes you have to go with the generic neoliberal instead of the one with marketable aesthetics.
Because in the US there isn't a prounion party, so it's pointless to just cozy up to one or the other.
