Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has been a strong supporter of unions and workers’ rights. Labor leaders see his elevation as a signal that Democrats are serious about empowering the working class.

      Why would you want a VP who pushed through free school lunches for his state while governor and is getting endorsements from labor groups, when you could go with a VP that fucks furniture?

      I don’t know dude, seems pretty cut and dry to me

        Be that as it may, I’m more concerned with worker’s rights in the US. Until we start reversing the wealth inequality, capital will keep buying influence for cheap, including support for Israel’s atrocities.

          Okay, this is nationalism and won’t get you what you want. Look at the history of left movements which neglect internationalism.

            If a vote for Harris-Walz was a vote against an alternative that had a more positive plan for the Palestinian proletariat, sure. But let’s be real, there is no clearer path to that presented as an option in this election, so securing more power for domestic workers is the most productive path towards bettering the position of both domestic and international workers. Nationalism is the focus on national success at the expense of the international good. It’s not at all clear that there is an international opportunity cost here

              Without getting into the details of what I disagree with, I think we can both appreciate that this is a different tune than

              This is all I needed to know about this guy. Good stuff.

              I would also again ask you to look at the history of left movements that neglect an intersectional approach, which includes anti-imperialism.

                That person wants a convenient answer that makes them feel good. They don’t care about history or change.
