57. No you don't. You stand with those who are pledging loyalty to the Democratic property... you don't
give a shit about labor.

How about a moment of honesty? Maybe even two moments of honesty.

If some leaders of labor are flirting with the "lesser evil"... standing with them does not equate with educating yourself or them... it's more of a case of encouraging mouth-breathing...

I'll await a criticism by lackeys of capital, to give voice to the governmental powers to take people's shit away and give it to conglomerated collectives.... (damned tough to strike...)
