35. We're tired of the Democrats pissing on us.

Sep 2012

They're supposed to be the party of labor but they're corporate suckholes. Clinton came from a right to work state and was all about that shit. Pelosi runs a scab company and only uses scab workers. Obama's chief of staff was scabo number one in Chicago. And then they slap us in the face with this scab convention, in a scab state, staying in all scab hotels. They talk a good game but always fuck us over. It's time to stand up to them and withhold money. We're going to vote for them but they had better heed the warning. What difference does it make which party kills us in the end? They're both going in the same direction.

We need a labor party because don't have one anymore. Haven't had one since the eighties.
