Get off my nuts, I want to build a labor party. I just think it's going to be extremely fucking hard and we should recognize it. We still have to do it.
I heard an interesting idea on the Red Menace pod that tenant organizing might be the key to building a labor movement. Unlike AFL-CIA affiliates which are poisoned with labor aristocracy, almost all tenants are universally poor workers. That's a potentially huge source of power.
Even if you added them all together they'd struggle to pull more than a couple percent.
It's an uphill struggle.
I gotta say, Brazil vetoing Venezuela's admission to the BRICS is really disappointing. Glad to see the other BRICS members aren't taking that as a signal to avoid making their own deals.
It's not just that people are struggling under the current economic conditions.
It's that the Democrats responded to it by telling voters that inflation has gone down and the economy is great and anyone trying to convince them times are hard are actually just lying. It was infuriating to be talked down to that way and people rejected it.
That's why I favor building a labor party and splintering the Democrats away from their shitty party. Their party is full of people who do not belong and would be more at home in a different party, if we had a system that wasn't so unfavorable to third parties.
The only choice is to replace the Democrats as the only other party. Let all the right-wing Democrats join the Republicans and we build a new party with everyone who is left.
Seems... Impossibly hard to do though.
There is no home for progressives in the Democratic Party. At this point the only hope is to go independent like Sanders or join one of the third parties and abandon Democrats entirely. Democrats will never learn.
If only there was some🔻thing we could do.
And it's not like Biden could have been forced out of the race any earlier.
America won't like that.
The NLRB is dead in the water.
Looks like wildcats are back on the table!
