#USpolitics #Republicans at #Bernie 's

As the Trump admin [disciples] are trying to gaslight you into believing that 'those are all paid democcrats' [by Soros no less] it is really refreshing to see who shows up at the #FightOligarchy -rallies in those RED states.
They turn out to be Republican voters [that can still think for thenselves].

We asked Republicans in Bakersfield, CA about why they decided to come out for our Fighting Oligarchy rally. Here’s what they had to say:

#AbusiveHealthcare #CapitalismIsFailingYou

I need help doing this. A lot of help, and I mean that. A LOT of help. If we could, maybe, get a literal global general strike for even one hour it will shut up the entirety of fascists. They need to feel very real extreme global pressure to stop being against everyone. I am willing to do the bare minimum and but a domain. And if we are on fedi, guess what? They have absolutely no chance of shutting us down. This needs widespread support, so I'm going to tag everything I can think of.

The unions in the state of #utah have received more than double the signatures needed for their referendum. This referendum would put it on the ballot to reverse the just passed law that banned collective bargaining in the state.

There is one caveat though, there’s another rule that it has to reach a certain threshold in at least 15 of 29 counties in the state. #union #unions #unionstrong #labor #workers #work #economy #utpol

If American workers want their unions to fight Trump, they're going to have to fight to take them back first. A friend of mine was at a labor conference in L.A. the other day. The leadership were talking about "General Strike '28" because that's when they intend to have a bunch of contracts come due, so they can strike Legally, all together. That's how clueless they are about the moment they're in. #uspol #union #unionstrong

Today seems like a good day to remind you that Trump's 2017 tax cuts — which he's now trying to make permanent — were trickle-down economics on steroids."
