Workers Defense Action Fund Texas Endorses Bernie [View all] Hassin Bin Sober Jan 2020 OP

I'll repeat what I said here: George II Jan 2020 #1

Those sneaky unions! Always trying to stand up for workers! DanTex Jan 2020 #2

So this endorsement is okay, but others aren't as you posted earlier?? Thekaspervote Jan 2020 #4

Union endorsements are more than OK, they are good. Does anyone disagree? DanTex Jan 2020 #6

But a congressman endorsing a candidate is trivial?? Thekaspervote Jan 2020 #7

Umm, I guess it would depend on which congressman. What does that have to do with this? DanTex Jan 2020 #9

It has to do with your post about a congressman's endorsement being a big nothing Thekaspervote Jan 2020 #10

OK. I guess. DanTex Jan 2020 #12

It's best to fold when one has nothing in one's hand. ehrnst Jan 2020 #29

Never mind!! Thekaspervote Jan 2020 #11

Your shifting standards is my guess. LanternWaste Jan 2020 #13

What do you think I'm trying to rationalize? A union endorsement on Bernie? DanTex Jan 2020 #16

It's not a union. Its a super pac. lapucelle Jan 2020 #38

Evasion when one is losing the argument does seem rather desperate, doesn't it? ehrnst Jan 2020 #28

Depends on the Union, doesn't it? ehrnst Jan 2020 #27

Nobody said or even hinted anything like that. Playing the "union" card isn't going to work with me George II Jan 2020 #15

Well, lots of people like their union cards. DanTex Jan 2020 #17

A union didn't endorse him, a Super PAC endorsed him. The Workers Defense Action Fund isn't a union. George II Jan 2020 #18

Umm, OK. An advocacy group for Texas workers that works alongside unions. My mistake lol. DanTex Jan 2020 #23

It's not a union. In fact, they're a "dark money" Super PAC, they're not required to file ANY.... George II Jan 2020 #33

So this is the kind of attack I keep talking about. DanTex Jan 2020 #34

Super PACs are Super PACs. This organization is NOT affiliated with a union, it had no formal.... George II Jan 2020 #36

Imagine trying to convince someone who doesn't already hate Bernie that this is corrupting him... DanTex Jan 2020 #37

So now all of a sudden we're applying that "purity test" to Super PACs, too, not just candidates? George II Jan 2020 #39

Umm, you're the one attacking Bernie for being "impure" by having a labor group support him. DanTex Jan 2020 #40

It's not a labor group, it's a Super PAC. It's dark money, in fact so dark that they don't even... George II Jan 2020 #41

It's a labor group with a Super PAC. If you can't tell the difference between that DanTex Jan 2020 #43

Do you have anything substantial about them other than their OWN website? I can't find anything. George II Jan 2020 #44

They are not a union. TexasTowelie Jan 2020 #24

You're right, it's an "advocacy group for unpaid workers." The horror! DanTex Jan 2020 #25

I don't have any issues with them advocating for unpaid and underpaid workers. TexasTowelie Jan 2020 #30

NYT: The Workers Defense Project, a Union in Spirit DanTex Jan 2020 #31

I'm glad that you found that article. TexasTowelie Jan 2020 #35

Oh... I see so purity isn't the buzz word anymore?? Thekaspervote Jan 2020 #3

wonderful... myohmy2 Jan 2020 #5

Out of 57 states and territories your guy wins 16, Biden wins 41... Thekaspervote Jan 2020 #8

even... myohmy2 Jan 2020 #14

Actually, as of today 538 projects Biden to win 44, Sander only 13 of those 57 states/territories... George II Jan 2020 #32

See post #21. TexasTowelie Jan 2020 #22

Kicked and recommended. Uncle Joe Jan 2020 #19

Well, I guess this helps make up for the loss of WFP to Warren. ehrnst Jan 2020 #20

Austin-based organization that was formed TexasTowelie Jan 2020 #21

Looks like one of those "organizations" in name only groups. The Valley Below Jan 2020 #26

Yes a newly formed political arm of Workers Defense Project. So of course Nanjeanne Jan 2020 #42
