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.

    “Our members want us to endorse someone clearly unfit for the presidency who also would actively work against their interests. So we’re just going to sit this one out.”

      100%.

      A huge chunk of my co-workers are sexist, racist, and absolutely knuckle-dragging morons.

      These idiots seem to think that $45 an hour jobs with a pension and healthcare is growing on trees somewhere with how they vote.

      One of them is from Venezuela and wears a Punisher/Trump hat. Keep in mind that the punisher would absolutely kick the ever loving shit out of someone like Trump, but if Trump wins, he will be deported!

      Stephen Miller wants to deport everyone not white as snow, and shoot those who resist.

        I had an Uber driver from Venezuela. I asked if he would have voted for Maduro, and what he thought of the recent elections in Venezuela. He called Maduro a monster and said Gonzalez was robbed. I asked him who he would vote for here. He said he was thinking of voting for Trump because he was concerned about his taxes going up. I just shook my head.

          But you see, Maduro is an unhinged left-wing authoritarian, and trump is an unhinged right-wing authoritarian, so they’re very different!

        In the comics the real Punisher knows he’s insane and tells anyone who idolizes him that they should try to be like Captain America instead.

      Many people are incapable of seeing it this way. So spread the word. Clear communication is one of our weaknesses, let’s get better.
