The International Brotherhood of Teamsters will not issue an endorsement in the presidential election for the first time since 1996, and for only the second time since 1960.

    Let’s call this what it is, Dems are losing because of their neoliberalism.

    Dems don’t fully commit to EU like welfare states, and the half assed approach to progressive policies eats at people’s bottom lines and pocketbooks.

    The Republicans promise getting rid of competition which comes from immigrants, so naturally attract the vote of the hopeless and helpless low skill workers, who will get shafted by low wages and benefits which come from Republican policies, but the blame will always go towards racist or culture war distractions. I can’t achieve the American dream because of the gays, the poor, the immigrants, etc.

    The independents are truly the worst because they don’t have the sense to ask for what they want and believe someone else will magically make that appear.

    America’s only redemption is creating an EU like welfare state. Dems and their weakness is going to cost America the imperialism it has enjoyed since WWII because the Republicans are opportunistic and not patriotic or interested in American ideals.
