AFL-CIO: We stand together to take on the richest bosses and most extremist politicians. But the economic struggle is causing real pain and neither party has sufficiently addressed it. (aflcio.org)

I'm going to be very vigilantly watching the AFL-CIO. I'm already starting to see rhetoric on the socials that the Ds failed because they didn't broaden the base enough to include working class Americans. I think we're going to see the AFL-CIA sheepdog the labor movement into some sort of Patriotic Socialism/Maga Socialism shit.

I wouldn't be surprised. If the tariffs go through and prices skyrocket the admin will need a scapegoat, and I don't think "woke" will resonate. My guess is they attack unions. Despite the absurdity of that notion it has a proven track record. Whip up a furor, use it to kill the NLRB. Nothing changes but by then six months have gone by and nobody cares.
