Unions also enable workers to bargain as a group, so they can have an actual effect on working conditions and pay, which individual workers cannot exercise any power over. I haven’t worked for a union, but many of the positive standards I enjoy were achieved by the collective bargaining of unions. If you enjoy…

One of the more jarring and unsettling revelations in that 1980's interview where Trump talks about nuclear weapons (currently looking for a link) was the fact that he used to speak in complete sentences.

I’m pretty sure there’s an exception for Jewish people who are complicit or actively supportive of the coming Apocalyptic Holy War, and subsequent rapture.

Inflation cancels out buying power of the lowest wage earners (you keep making up shit that I didn’t say). You know this to be true because the premise of needing to raise the minimum wage is that it is supposed to be a livable wage and it is no longer livable.

When/where? You mean when you argued that inflation cancels out economic stimulation of increasing wages? I’ve already explained why that is nonsensical. (all these responses are plainly there for everyone to read, dude.)

Feel free to start raising substantial criticisms of any point I have made any time, as I have addressed your argument point by point. I’ll wait.

Let’s break this down:

In a capitalist society you have economic classes that form, no matter what you try to do to stop those classes from forming, you can’t as long as there is a free market.

Goddammit. We can’t get our shit together to even get out of our own way.

What kind of FOX news nonsense is this? Didn’t realize I was talking to a right-winger.

Just because complex problems require complex and nuanced solutions doesn’t mean that the former Democrat leadership was taking a middle ground or going to the right.

The 2010 midterms were an example of the DNC underestimating the rancor of the Tea Party and their potential impact on the house and senate. Now, there’s an even bigger groundswell of disaffected voters who present an opportunity in 2018, but only 8 republican senate seats are up for grabs, compared to 23 democratic…

It’s not about executive experience being “bad”; it’s about who is the better grassroots organizer, who is better at raising small donations from vast numbers of people, and it’s not really a contest in that sense.

They put resources into districts where their candidates had long- and medium- shots of winning, which the DNC is STILL not doing.

So The President was supposed to pull the economy out of the shitter, deal with two wars AND organize grassroots in 50 states? That is insane. The DNC chair is an important job that has been abdicated for two cycles.

He’s anti-labor, and that’s the primary qualification that Bannon is looking for in a labor secretary. Just as EPA head pick Pruitt is actively anti-EPA (like, literally sued the agency and calls climate change “a religious belief”) and how DeVos was chosen to head education for doing more than any other individual in…

I can see him bailing on the responsibility of being president, but he loves the power- the only part he understands; he’ll have to find a way to sell it as a persecution to his followers, so he can save face.

Just based on his pigheadedness and ego, I can’t see that happening unless he’s faced with much more dire consequences than unpopularity. He’s the type to cling to power and double-down on lies when called out for incompetence or malfeasance.

• The Kremlin reportedly fears that Trump will be impeached or assassinated. [Foreign Policy]

I don’t know, he’s not the only member of the administration with a history of domestic violence- Bannon and Trump himself are also thugs. Doesn’t seem to be an issue.
