    In my experience blue collar union workers are fucking idiots when it comes to politics. Had the shop steward with a Trump, Teamsters, and hamer/sickle bumper sticker.

    Dude, when have Republicans supported unions? Guy was making $38/hr and he could be making $14 at the non-union warehouse next to us. Truly voting for the leopard.

    Article says that he’s also requested to speak at the Dem convention. So it’s not that he’s supporting El Presidente Convicto, but rather taking the opportunity to speak to a captive audience. Good luck to him, but I’m not gonna hold my breath that he’s actually going to convince anyone there to stop sucking corporate cock.

      O’Brien has invited Biden, Trump and the independent presidential candidates Robert F Kennedy Jr and Cornel West to speak to his group. O’Brien drew anger from the union’s progressive members after he held a private meeting with Trump earlier this year.

      You sure about that?
