The International Brotherhood of Teamsters will not issue an endorsement in the presidential election for the first time since 1996, and for only the second time since 1960.
While 44.3 percent of union members polled between April 9 and July 3 backed Biden compared to 36.3 percent for Trump, polling in the wake of the Republican and Democratic Party conventions found the Teamsters members support Trump over Harris.
In a union-commissioned survey conducted by an independent third party between July 24 and Sept. 15, 59.6 percent of Teamsters members voted to endorse Trump, compared to 34 percent for Harris.
Teamsters members seem to have been dramatically more supportive of Biden than they are of Harris. Hmm.
Don’t know if election models, like Five Thirty Eight’s or similar, take endorsements as an input, whether that may affect their projection.
Damn, if I didn’t know any better, the teamsters union hate the idea of being led by a woman.
Unless Kamala has a teamsters specific, anti-union agenda completely unique from Joe Biden I’m not aware of?
I’d love to be proven wrong, but Trump has only gotten worse and Kamala is significantly better than Biden - so what’s up??
- She
- Is a non-white
- Democrat.
Take your pick
“Our members want us to endorse someone clearly unfit for the presidency who also would actively work against their interests. So we’re just going to sit this one out.”
100%.
A huge chunk of my co-workers are sexist, racist, and absolutely knuckle-dragging morons.
These idiots seem to think that $45 an hour jobs with a pension and healthcare is growing on trees somewhere with how they vote.
One of them is from Venezuela and wears a Punisher/Trump hat. Keep in mind that the punisher would absolutely kick the ever loving shit out of someone like Trump, but if Trump wins, he will be deported!
Stephen Miller wants to deport everyone not white as snow, and shoot those who resist.
In the comics the real Punisher knows he’s insane and tells anyone who idolizes him that they should try to be like Captain America instead.
