    your expectation for how this should work is flawed and totally unrealistic?

    yes, what happened in 2019 with Clinton was unacceptable.

    but the methodology for determining this usw endorsement seems totally standard and has precedent. like, this isn’t new or strange at all.

    edit: oclabor.org is the orange county labor federation. the linked pdf is a candidate questionnaire from 2021.

      I don’t know what weird thing you linked because I’m not downloading random files from someone without a shift key, and I highly recommend no one else download random files either

      But consider the fucked up part was 2016, and there’s only been one election cycle since…

      It feels like you’re trying to argue that because shit got a tiny bit better, we’re not allowed to ever ask for it to keep being fixed

      Which is pretty much the neoliberals national slogan.

      Stuff was worse once, so nothing can get better until it’s gets worse again

        Sorry For Not Using The Shift Key I Hope This Is Better.

        You Are Simply Asking The Union To Give Up Its Power By Having It Just Host Another Unsecure Election Based On Publicly Available Information Its Constituents Already Know. The Union Is Able To Provide A Service By Using Its Power To Get Answers Directly From Candidates Without Needing To Rely On Fallible Media Channels. (edit: think of the service debate moderators provide)

        And, As You Admit Yourself, The Union Is Comparing Candidate Answers With Their Voting Record. So It’s Not Like Candidates Can Just Lie On The Questionaire.

        tldr it seems like you are spreading FUD or something, unions have been doing this exact thing for ages lmao.

          Man, you’re hitting all the greatest hit today, aren’t you?

          Just coming out and open with:

          Why should the working people have a say? They don’t know what’s good for them!

          Waaaay better to let a handful of people dictate what the poors should do and how they should vote

          Have a nice life champ, glad you found that shift key. Enjoy telling people on the internet that voting is bad, I’m sure it’s very fulfilling
