Opinion I'm willing to become a Republican, I just need one thing from you guys

[Aegon Spengler]

According to the legislative history, the #1 objective of American conservatism since the 1950s has been to destroy the Union movement. They mostly succeeded.

Asking the GOP to support Unions is like asking Khabib to stop wrestling. That’s their whole game.

But you can work for any company you like.

Now you get it.

I have to work or i will starve. Extortion.

That's the world - life requires things of you. If we didn't have currency, you'd be saying "I have to hunt or I will starve."

Yep. That's the truth.

Right, which is why it is crazy to say that having to join the union or go to a new job, is extortion.

If you believe that, then we are all slaves.

Probably some truth to that, but it is the inconsistency and hypocrisy I can't stomach.

If you believe having to join a union is extortion then you should be a socialist or a anarchist.

I agree that identity politics is destroying the Democratic Party.

Where/when will we see the party that advocates for reasonable regulations on business and a reasonable social safety net to protect ourselves from our worst impulses - but beyond that wants people left alone?

Never

And by that definition, capitalism is built on extortion.

I have to work or i will starve. Extortion.

...or you could grow your own food. also, lolz @ calling the above "extortion."
