Many of them are voting for Trump because the Democratic Party has abandoned them entirely for decades now. It’s stupid to fall for his lies, but he’s at least bothering to address them as a demographic in need of attention (with lies, of course).

Listening to NPR the other day, there was a piece on how many of the unions aren’t endorsing Harris (either candidate, actually) and that it’s because the working class whites men that make up the unions aren’t ready for a mixed-race female president. Of course jumping right to blaming the voters of bigotry instead of admitting that neither Harris, nor Biden or the party in general, has done anything to earn a union endorsement. If they were just bigots, wouldn’t they be endorsing Trump?

Ironically the Biden administration is considered one of the most Union-friendly government in US presidential history.

But yeah, I agree, there's a missing progressive element that would compensate for that bigotry... If it's a thing (because many unions no doubt include women and people lf color in the proportions they're represented in those industries).

Harris' father was a Marxist professor, so it will be quite the irony if she loses due to not getting enough union support.
