Re: "Teamsters For Howie" When I was in the Green Party,my branch never did any outreach to union members ,but there are two union members in my branch of the PSL. One is a teacher, the other a carpenter. Both have worked as independent activists to recruit union members to the party, and have had some success. Unions will probably never sever their ties to the Democratic Party ,whether it be on a national level,or among leadership of the locals. It is up to individual union members to convert their coworkers away from the Democratic Party, which we know has never been a party of the workers. This is what Lenin ,and others, taught us. Most of us who are hardcore third party activists ,and voters, have never bought into the lesser evil argument , be it against Trump, or anyone else. Indeed, we believe that this lesser evil argument will always be used against third parties, that there will never be a "right time" to stage an exit from the capitalist/imperialist duoploy, and that continuing to vote for the lesser evil only serves to move American politics further to the right.
The recent events in Washington,DC proves that Trumpism is now deeply entrenched in American society,and among the American right, and will long outlive Trump ,and will likely escalate under Biden, just as Reaganism continued unabated under Bill Clinton, and Brack Obama. Trumpism is nothing new. It only ripped the mask of politeness off of the racism, imperialism, etc America has always stood for. Remember it was Obama who put more immigrant kids in cages, and killed in the Middle East with drone strikes, intiated the facist attack on peaceful protestors at Standing Rock, slaughtered Moammar Gaddafi ,etc. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
