(45,251 posts)The hosts at MSNBC actually crossed a picket line, never mind publicizing a workers; demonstration against the establishment.
And that was defended and this board. Party of what I see as loyalty trumping issues and the best interests of the 99%. I don't get it and doubt I ever will.
I would never vote Republican, either. Don't want to and could never do that to my family, even if I did. Whatever I have, I have because they killed themselves to try to make sure my sister and I would have a much better life than they could even dream of.
I wonder what may parents (and my blue collar uncles and aunts, too) would have done with the Working Families Party, though?
Originally, their idea was to vote Democratic, but in the Working Families column, so that Democrats would get that they had to pay attention. So far, so good.
But one of their candidates ran somewhere on a separate ticket recently and got a healthy share of the vote. Not enough votes to win, but a lot more than anticipated for the candidate of such a new party running against both of the oldest, largest and most advantaged political parties.
