In reply to the discussion: When every single Republican is anti-union, why are so many DUers anti-union too? [View all]betterdemsonly
(1,967 posts)They want to pick up moderate republicans that don't like the religious right, then they want to marginalize traditional democrats. They have been largely successful. These former republicans maintain conservative economic views.
Their second goal is to get corporate donations. Their interests conflict with those of traditional labor and working class people. Many people who post here are party bosses.
You are right about this. I remember someone who was critical of the labor record Amazon's Jeff Bezos, and they were run off the GD by Mirt people. That is all about fundraising. They were flamed and insulted and when they fought back the Mirt bullies reported on his posts. I assume he lost postng privileges for a while or was banned.
I also think the Southern type dem was traditionally antiuion because that is the way their states create jobs. Mostly by taking union factories from pro-union states and opening them as anti-union.
