Sometimes I wish you got the president that you voted for... You don't want abortions and what corporations to get tax breaks and no pension for the working man... Great vote Trump and that's what you'll get

But if you want your children to be able to read books and for women to have access to healthcare and to support our public education system and you vote for Harris that's what you get.

So instead of a nothing burger national endorsement, it’s turned into a big PR win for Harris as we all see what kind of support she has in various swing and other states. I’m no campaign strategist but seems like that helps Harris.

+1 Yup, the national teamsters look out of touch and stupid by screwing the Dems who bailed their membership out when their pensions got in trouble in favor of Trump who is no friend of unions (or working people in general). And she picked up Michigan and Pennsylvania!

they need to get rid of that Republican loving Teamster's guy. He's too dumb to see what his members want, and too dumb to realize that Trump is about as anti-union as they get.

Local and regional Teamster endorsements continue to increase. From today’s WP (9/19):


“As of Thursday, at least eight regional councils, covering active Teamsters members in some 14 states, as well as 10 union locals, had endorsed Harris. The regional councils alone represent more than 500,000 Teamsters members.
 No regional or local Teamsters organizations have endorsed Trump.”

This might work out just fine for Kamala in the end.

It's like those lower income tools who got healthcare under Obama and still vote Republican due to their hate, because they sure as hell don't have the bank to vote Republican.

Exactly.

They have endorsed Democrats for multiple decades. Their leader spoke at the RNC and walked right up to endorsing Trump, then months later, this headline. They must be afraid to put out a written statement endorsing Trump for some reason.

This is not how unions work; the national tea master is the real union, they will need to resign from these rogue local factions and sanction them.

Or maybe they remember and still believe that KH was considered one of the worst VP’s in US history and up until Biden’s disastrous debate performance, considered a huge liability for the party.

Christ, is there nothing you MAGA don't copy from dear leader? Even this simpleton way of concluding someone is the "worst in history" or the "best in history." It's so stupid. Like a 5yo saying their mommy is the worst in the world because she wouldn't let them have ice cream for dinner.

No, they are not the worst in history, nor are they the best in history. Stop sounding like a dimwit with this nonsense.

Exactly! These dumb MAGAs couldn't even name 3 VPs or any other Amendments but the second.

This turned out to be good for Kamala because the local chapters in swing states are tripping over themselves to endorse her.

Union leaders tend to be pragmatic dealmakers. These gambled their future careers to support Harris campaign. In exchange for what?

Is a union member required to have dues confiscated and forwarded to a national party?
