Now I know we are a frigging stupid country. Americans seem to love a union hating busting candidate.

(14,449 posts)benefits of unions to the American people. Walker the idiot is selling that you can be part of a union if you want to but if you don't want to you don't have too. The problem is that once a part of the union stops getting money from all workers, the union can't survive. We as progressives need to retake the message. If we don't I don't see how this stops. And we need to show why having a choice to belong to a union is wrong and mandatory membership and dues is important. We need to start yesterday.

He's close now because he is a new commodity to those who don't pay attention but that always catches up. If he turns far right to win the clown party, there will be too much damage for the big election. That is, if enough Dems show up to vote and that is not yet in the bag.

(46,416 posts)He's good at playing games on his home turf. He'll play like a badly-tuned banjo on the national stage. I agree about zero charisma. And he has a face full of perma-derp.

(99,719 posts)Most but not all of them are African Americans, many from impoverished working, or middle class families... Look at that as winning the genetic lottery and then putting in a lot of work...

(29,754 posts)I try to say that the life of most athletes are about a third of normal working people, and they do burn out so fast. He doesn't see it that way. He just sees the millions upon millions in a contract running along the bottom of the ESPN's screen. I don't know what to say, about it. They DO make a lot of money. I think they all deserve it too. JMHO.
