Summary
Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign failed to connect with low-income workers due to a perceived lack of listening, according to AFL-CIO, the largest federation of labor unions in the US.
While union members largely supported Harris, many low-income voters backed Trump, swayed by his messaging on economic insecurity.
Despite Biden’s pro-labor policies, including infrastructure investments, the AFL-CIO now faces challenges under a likely Trump presidency.
AFL-CIO emphasized labor unions’ resilience and commitment to fighting rollbacks while advancing organizing efforts.
With public approval for unions at a near 60-year high, the labor movement plans both defensive and offensive strategies to protect workers.
certainly didn’t connect with me and my social circle and we’re all college educated working class. maybe you’re confusing people who voted for her as people who thought she was worth voting for?
I know what you’re getting at, but people who voted for her are by definition people who thought she was worth voting for. When all is said and done, that is the metric that mattered.
If you voted for Harris this past election cycle her campaign either spent the right amount or too much time catering to you… From a game theory perspective.
No, not by definition. There are many reasons to cast a vote not all votes are because the person is worth voting for.
For example i voted for Biden and he wasnt worth the time it took to roll out of bed that morning.
As for harris well, I dont support genocidal monsters who throw minorities under the bus to appease mega donors. Also why i was loathe to vote biden the first time around.
