8. They have stated they will not be donating their millions of dollars
to the Dem Party as they have done always in the past. Instead, they will use it to back Union-friendly candidates of THEIR choice from now on.

The AFL-CIO, the Firemen's Union and the Teachers Union are all considering choosing their own candidates now. That is a huge loss of money for the Dem Party, tens of millions of dollars, but I hope the Unions stick with this plan. This is what ordinary people are going to be doing also.

When you trash your supporters, this is what happens. The current iteration of the Dem Party is for Corporate America. Corporate America hates Unions.

I'm hoping this new strategy by the Unions will help US to get more Progressive, Labor-friendly members of Congress. Rather than the Party-backed DLC/Third Wayers we've been getting over the past number of years.
