"One of the bigger gut checks for Kamala Harris since she took over the Democratic ticket came yesterday afternoon, when she failed to secure the endorsement of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, one of the country’s largest labor unions. The last time the Teamsters didn’t endorse the Democratic presidential candidate: 1996."

in reply to William Lindsey :toad: • • •As numerous reliable commenators are noting, Trump-Vance are counting on the male vote to win the day for them in this election — and polling indicates that strategy may well be paying off as young men and more men in minority communities are flocking to Trump.
Misogyny is a powerful drug in contemporary culture and contemporary politics. And an incredibly stupefying one….
