The DNC doesn't nominate anyone. The party selects its nominee through the convention, and the delegates to the convention are selected in accordance with the primary results and the party rules. |
This is key. To the extent the Democrats get a majority of votes, it’s because they get a supermajority in a higher-income metro areas and suburbs. They should trade fewer votes in those areas for more elsewhere given the electoral college. Of course, doing so would require caring more about voters (or about beating Trump or whoever the GOP runs) than keeping a few gravy trains running for Democratic insiders. |
Every poll shows Biden losing Michigan by 6-8% but I guess you are in touch with all the union people up in Michigan. While the Muslims in your opinion should just be happy to just live in this country? How dare they ask for representation from the dems. Wow let me sign up for your candidate. You know the one who can not even bring himself to admit there are dead Muslims in Gaza. |
This is from 1993 "At heart, Clinton believes in the importance of expanded trade as a critical element of the country's economic future. It was a lesson he learned as Arkansas governor, when he had led personal campaigns to attract foreign investment to his state. In late 1991, as Clinton moved around the country in his nascent campaign for the presidency, he voiced support for the authority for the president to send NAFTA to Congress for consideration without amendment, a stand that organized labor opposed. The position cast him as a "new Democrat" who was willing to stand up to the unions, reflecting his belief that his main competition in the 1992 primaries would be a traditional liberal such as New York Gov. Mario M. Cuomo (D) or Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa). The dynamic of the campaign changed when Paul E. Tsongas, the former Massachusetts senator, and former California governor Edmund G. "Jerry" Brown Jr. ended up as his main opponents. Tsongas forced Clinton to begin to move left; Brown taunted him to move even farther left -- farther than was politically smart. Clinton was under pressure to yield to the unions on NAFTA before the Michigan primary in March 1992. Instead, he went into a United Auto Workers hall in Flint, Mich., and delivered an eloquent defense of his position to a hostile audience. But to avoid a break with labor, he held out the possibility that he could oppose the NAFTA treaty, saying he doubted he could support something Bush negotiated." https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/business/1993/09/19/clintons-conversion-on-nafta/3a5b9cb5-dfc8-4b5c-9ae6-30781f0a99fc/ He chose to abandon labor in favor of trade and democrats have been steadily losing union support ever since. |
I guess the “liberal media” never bothered to tell you all that the rail workers have sick days now and didn’t have to strike to do it. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/most-unionized-us-rail-workers-now-have-new-sick-leave-2023-06-05/#:~:text=Also%20on%20Monday%2C%20Union%20Pacific,paid%20days%20of%20sick%20leave. |
" More than 60% of U.S. unionized railroad workers at major railroads are now are covered by new sick leave agreements, a trade group said Monday." I guess it sucks to be in the other 40%. That sick leave must be really valuable for the employers to fight so hard against it. "Under the agreement effective Aug. 1, members will have up to seven paid days of sick leave. Five days will be considered paid sick days with the ability to convert two additional paid leave days for use as paid sick time." Oh, never mind. I guess we're still supposed to ignore Biden crushing a union strike because 60% of the members ended up with 5 days of paid sick time, which I guess you consider a good outcome |
Nope. President Joe Biden leads Donald Trump 45% to 41% in the MIRS/Northern Michigan Business Alliance survey conducted by Target Insyght. 800 sample. 1/4-1/10; +/-3.5% MOE. https://mirs-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1790-T.I.%20STATEWIDE%2001%2011%202024%20%281%29.pdf |
Meanwhile Haley crushes Biden in every swing state and any normal Dem candidate crushes Trump in every swing state. This makes me wonder if the RNC and DNC are actively working to find a way not to nominate these two awful elderly men. |
