She might not be terrible, she's had union support. Seems like a consolation prize for losing her congressional seat.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Republicans getting union support isnt much of an accomplishment.
True, but I was more surprised at him picking someone who may not be actively horrible.
Democrats have lost the automatic loyalty of labor, probably for good. I fully believe this administration will try to crush labor but not before cosying up to them to keep us pacified.
Labor might just be our best hope since the oarties have failed us. I don’t blame the Teamsters for withholding an endorsement. Labor is best as an independent power center, not the arm of a party.

I do. Dude literally spoke at the RNC. Fuck that.
Organized labor has shrunk to a point where large parts of the organized part can be pacified by either party while the rest of labor languish. A lot of Teamsters admit they voted on this election due to mainly social reasons instead of solidarity.
Organized labor can be an independent power center, but they don't even act like that.

So in other words, people in unions can also be pieces of shit.
