Jan 2017

I'm a Clinton voter, and I'm angry that the Democratic party hasn't done a MUCH better job of being a workers party.

You know, I posted an article on here about how Boeing threatened to leave WA unless it was allowed to gobble up its union workers' pensions - you know, STEAL money that the honest workers had bled for, year after year after year? And how the WA Democratic party machine had...............................caved in totally and allowed Boeing to screw these workers?

And you know what??????????????????

NOBODY ON THIS SITE EVEN REPLIED TO IT.

Tone deaf, anyone?
