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.
Enjoy your reality homie get used to losing elections.
I have voted blue my entire godamned life, and said something ableist and derogatory against Republicans here and got shit on. These morons here don’t understand that they can’t keep doing this any more and we will never winan election again in our lifetimes unless a drastic culture change happens.
Woke is dead; money talks. This is what everyone thinks now, and if you don’t believe me look at how badly we lost with voters to Republicans in every single aspect of government (entire fucking Congress from House to Senate, entire fucking Supreme Court, entire swaths of Blue Wall states fucking flipped, entire Executive Branch, etc.)
Wake the fuck up. Democratic Party needs to aggressively change and you should expect to be left behind.
