Republicans unanimously pass Right-to-Work; Missouri voters demand referendum, defeat it 70% to 30%

I am gop but totally against right to work....... escentially RTW ends workers rights. An electrain making 45 an hour union scale with benefits an pension. ...... under rtw the quivalent would make 25 to 30 n hr with little benefits an nonpension..

I rtw Is great for big business making more money for shitter work qaulity. Other than that it's stupid

Maybe them trying to end workers rights should make you reconsider being with them. Id consider that a pretty massive problem.
 
Okay so, however crucial, you're talking about like 3% of Trump voters.

Yes, I know dumb people decide elections. It's the nature of democracy.

Uh, no.. The people thinking for themselves do. If you think the deep thinkers are always on a party line, well, you're dumb.
 
Both parties are pieces of shit, people are just picking what they think is the least worse
 
I would say getting rid of the TPP was pro labor. I also would say his intention to renegotiate NAFTA is pro labor. Also most organized labor backs the tarrifs. While your position as a labor lawyer may give insight to how these rulings affect workers rights, most people I know throughout manufacturing and skilled trades unions see these huge international agreements as more of a danger to their lively hood.

Could that be because they don't understand the impact those international agreements actually have on them and drastically underestimate the impact the administration domestic anti-labor policies will have?
 
Trump, a man who spent a life time Fucking over his workers and not paying them is a fan of LABOR.

You literally can’t make this shit up.
 
Forcing people to join an organization in order to work, and also force them to pay that organization even though the union may use their money to push politics people don't agree with. Cool!

Pay to work.
Hey corporations are people, didn't you know?
 
what's funny is that evangelicals actually aligned with Democrats and endorsed Carter and his humanitarian policies. Even going so far as criticizing him for his inadequate measures to assist the poor during the recession. Can you imagine today's Republican evangelicals doing that?
It wasn't until the Moral Majority took hold of the GOP and convinced evangelicals to vote against their interests through fear mongering and identity politics that the unholy marriage of the religious right and tax dodging financiers was forged.

And thus, today's conflicted Republican voter.
The religious right, even in the last 20 years, is a very different beast.
Data suggest that even 10 years ago, evangelicals were the most likely group to assert that your moral character bears immensely as to whether you’ll make a good politician. Now? Evangelical are the least likely to think your moral character bears on your politics.
I think 9/11 did something absurd to the social consciousness off American Christians.
 
Uh, no.. The people thinking for themselves do. If you think the deep thinkers are always on a party line, well, you're dumb.
it's funny how everyone on sherdog is an "independent voter" when they're all entrenched along party lines.

Hopefully soon we can return time the pre union days when employers basically owned their employees.

Shitty wages and minimal benefits for all!




... workers.
Let's hear it for the company store!

I don't think it's 9/11 that fucked them up. I think it's that they couldn't reconcile that Republicans are evil but they also want to reverse Roe v Wade. They've just decided any scumfuckery is going to have to be ok if it means sticking it to the heathens, and as the faithful, when they do it as a community, they can convince themselves it must be righteous.
 
Pesky democracy =(

It's pretty rare for peoposed referendums to satisfy the signature requirements.

This is why people like @Greoric say that democracies are tyranny and monarchies are better. In a democracy he cant act like a mountebank and sell zhit sandwiches to people and pretend theyre nutritious. He'd rather live in a monarchy because he cant get by without trying to exploit someone.

Yeah, the pro-life is true. Perhaps the inability to reconcile the differences just made new terrible habits of thought.

IMO, Americanism rubs counter to the heart of Christianity. The patriotism and nationalism so often found in US Christians makes for something more American than Christian

Ripskater was the iconic example of this. Trump could do no wrong as long as he stuck it to the gays and the other heathen.
 
>Be TS

>Doesn't have a clue there are multiple issues people vote on

People vote Republican for issues they agree with and hope they can change the ones they don't

> is socialist/communist

>doesn't understand this is a basic freedom and doesn't understand why people don't bow down and suck communisms dick

>doesn't like making decisions

> assuming everyone is like him because he read the Communist Manifesto and 2 friends from college agreed with him

> doesn't realize Democrat voters do the exact same thing on separate issue

>Lacks Nuance, because that implies thinking for yourself

>Creates thread on Sherdog expecting everyone to agree with him that likes his posts ergo its okay to say such ridiculous things

>Bundles up in Sherdog likes

>Still oblivious

So we both agree illeagal immigration hurts American workers and both parties should do more to enforce laws to stop the hiring of these workers. Good.

And please don't patronize me with your silly recap. I've seen the results of GOP negligence and right to works effect on my family. I had to move after Oklahoma approved it. A state at the time over run with illeagals, which businesses we're quick to exploit. It still hasn't recovered.

Those two can claim to be as anti union as they want, as long as the administrations actions are far more labor friendly than the past two Democratic administrations. Clinton gave us NAFTA. Obama gave us TPP. Trump dumped TPP immediately, and wants to renegotiate NAFTA. I repeat again, all major unions side with Trump on tarrifs.

If only the Democrats had made good on these.

Unions got wages raised, working conditions improved and obtained benefits for their workers but everything comes at a cost s the money comes from somewhere. Manufacturers found they could avoid those costs by having products made in other countries. For Trump supporters who claim Trumps policies are friendly to unions, how many union jobs have been provided in Trump businesses? Instead of offering higher wages at his properties, he claims he can't find workers so he gets immigrants to fill those jobs but nobody else is llowed to do that. Trump supporters, like Trump, have no grasp on reality.

Everyone favors tariffs until the effects hit them. The thought is that tariffs will force things to be made in the US. When people had the choice of buying something made in the US and something made in another country, they bought what was cheapest. As a concept it works but in practice, it doesn't. So much damage was done during the Reagan years. The limits on foreign cars meant that US automakers didn't have to compete in quality or price and increased prices on crappy vehicles. The tariffs that Trump claimed helped Harley Davidson also led to higher prices on a bad product. Foreign products became more desirable. The dirty part of manufacturing left the US and isn't likely to return, especially the labor intensive jobs. People don't want those jobs. Everybody wants to sit at a desk. It is even difficult to find people to operate equipment in an air conditioned control room or cab.

NAFTA was a program to allow US made products to be sold in Canada and Mexico and to do that, we had to allow their products to be sold here. Trade wars just raise the price of goods and give the government more money. It is the same as a tax that we all pay when we buy products.

This is well said, and a propos of the Trudeau standing up to Saudi Arabia thread. In terms of Trudeau's response to the US sanctions and the Saudi diplomatic pressure, who the fuck is rhe cuck now?
 
Hello all, this is our latest installment in a long-running series called Republican Voters Don't Actually Like Republican Policies.

This week, we look at tonight's defeat of Right-to-Work in Missouri.

Despite Republicans:
1. Forcing through a Right-to-Work law without holding any town halls or forums on the matter
2. Fighting to disallow Missouri unions from holding a referendum
3. At the last minute moving the vote up from the general election to the primary election in an effort to take advantage of lower voter turnout and weaker democratic voice

Missouri voters overwhelmingly struck down the Corruptlicans' cash grab for their corporate donors. Not only that, 88% of counties won by Republicans (Trump) in 2016 rejected the law. 97 of the 110 counties won by Trump in 2016 voted no.

This just in Republican voters: the party with which you've aligned yourself doesn't give a shit about you, or anything other than lining their pockets.​

Trump represents the big union, big government, protectionist, tariff mentality. Why would you think a Trump voter would be against those things?
