Teamsters won't endorse in presidential race after releasing internal polling showing most
members support Trump
There are other unions in New York state (aside from Teamsters) that likely have a majority of their members supporting Trump. But union members have a lot to lose by publicly endorsing the wrong candidate;
it equates to talking about politics in the workplace. (And union
meetings are just like work meetings.)

But what that really shows is the large gap between what the union leadership wants and what the rank-and-file want. Which highlights the fact that unions are for the unions - not for the workers.

It probably opens them up to reprisals from other members that won't be covered by "hostile work environment" rules.
I did see a few other places where Teamsters locals are trying to rally and endorse Harris on their own. It would be interesting if their local members will back that or not.
In the case of the Teamsters, the leader who is quoted in the article apparently spoke at the GOP convention this Summer but not at the DNC. However, they have declined to endorse Trump because, like Harris, he wouldn't make the promises that the Union wanted to hear.

It is odd that Harris isn't endorsed by the Teamsters Union. When lefties need >to rely on each other, it's usually all-hands-on-deck.

Yes. Hopefully this news about the Teamsters union will open some eyes.

Having worked in a facility that employed Teamsters, while I cannot speak for their leadership, I think it would be in error to assume the members are all leftists.

Really I don't think it will.
The people who can't change their minds will ignore this.
The people who can change their minds have long realized that the Democrats are **not** the party of the people and never have been.

Yes, being able to change your mind about things is a cool thing that
the Democrats should let their people try sometime, instead of telling them stuff, they should ask them stuff.

But the Democrat^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^HSocialist party doesn't want people to think for themselves. Remember that these are people who believe that they are the smartest and the rest of us can't be trusted to make good decisions.
That's another reason this next election is so important. If we were dealing with a bunch of people who just wanted to live their lives the
way they want and let everyone alone, it wouldn't be much of a problem. But they can't. They have to dictate how the rest of need to live our lives - for our own good (but mainly for the good of the Elitists).

I get it. The Democrat party can't hold a primary because that equates
to asking their followers questions (not the sexy kind of questions either.)
We really can't be trusted to make "good" decisions because studies
have shown that people making their own decisions is unprofitable for
the left.
I would respect Democrats a lot more if they would stop being so controlling.
Their decision to import 30 million undocumented
immigrants was very unfair to the people who don't want to be murdered, robbed, or raped.
The people who are asking for that stuff have the
Harris/Walz signs in their yards (a small population of Americans.)

Of course. Remember what they did to Bernie back in 2015. He was going to get the nomination, but the "super delegates", selected Hillary.

Bernie probably isn't as much of a team player as Kamala is.
Besides,
it's probably a good thing that the elite chose not to let the leftists vote in a primary, because they like having their mind made up for
them. It saved them time and gas money.
I didn't know about that! That's funny though. So the Democrats haven't had a fair presidential primary since probably 2008 (then again,
probably not even in 2008 either!)
