Man it sure seems like Democrats don't want me to vote for them.
It sure seems like some people insist on making absolutely everything a Republican-vs.-Democrat issue.
I mean.. He's an elected official in a party that is, well, a branch of the democratic party.
He's a politically elected official acting in a political capacity making a political statement about labor and work.
I'm really not sure what you think your point is.
My point is that this isn't some kind of broad-based Democratic party platform on display here. He's just an idiot politician saying something dumb who happens to be a Democrat. He's not holding this position because he's a Democrat.
I mean he's a Democrat and he's holding the position. I can guarantee you that the DNC will not be siding with me on my stance on labor, work from home, etc, they'll be siding with this muppet. And guess what? Probably half of the Democrats in office now when pressed, will hold a similar position. About 2/5ths will side with this goon once their corporate donors press the 'Submit' button. The last 10th, thats the squad and the progressives. An absolute minority.
The Democrats suck. They really fucking suck. They represent two generations of policy failure. This guy isn't an outlier, he's the main stream. And yet its teaching sheep to speak greek when trying to get Democrats and Liberals to understand whey they struggle sooooo hard when the country is fairly left in many regards.
How can you guarantee me that? Is there something in their platform about this, a clear pattern of other Democratic politicians taking this position, or is this just a feeling you've got?
This guy seems like the type that pretends to be on the left, but will switch to the Republicans at the first sign of trouble. He is absolutely hated by his entire left-leaning constituency. Including by all his city reps you can see in the video, their faces clearly show they think he's an idiot.
