2020 US General Election Thread VIII: Cs, Ds, and Es

What are wildcat strikes?

It’s a union strike without the union leaderships approval.

I like that idea. One day without warning labor goes on strike. I wish my job would strike already. Corporate ended our hazard pay and they're being real sticks in the mud about giving it back.

He specifically endorsed the idea of wildcat strikes, which do indeed have the potential to be quite disruptive.

What are wildcat strikes?

Strikes not approve by a union

Basically when the workers in a business all decide to either stop working or stop going to work either completely spontaneously, or after their union leaders tell them "no." For an example of this see the recent NBA strike.

It was a big thing in the industrial unionist movement back in the 1920s and the practice becoming relatively widespread is what led to the First Red Scare.

I always daydreamed of a spontaneous mass walk-out at my old job. Would be a big middle finger to corporate and the customers I had equal contempt for.

I have some reason to believe that Trump might have nothing to worry about in that he'll win this election.

On someone's chat profile, they've been doing a user survey where people can sent their vote to them saying Biden or Trump and Trump had more points by his name than Biden. It is an indication that perhaps he has more of the Millennial and Gen Z vote locked than expected.

Ever heard of a representative sample? And more of Trump's voters are old fucks than young. Not surprising since alot of these conservative boomers are snowflakes who can't keep their composure when someone speaks a foreign language nearby or when they see a woman in a hijab or some esses or a black man holding hands with a white girl or two men holding hands with each other or whatever else sets them off. Most of Gen Z and the Millennials hate Trump, and that's because above all else he's a dipshit.

Ive met plenty of people who dont understand how polls work

Saiwania has been on General for years. He must have seen hundreds of polls that he didn't like the results of

Probably. By their logic Andrew Gillum should have won easily for Governor of Florida.

So what does John Oliver think we should do if voting and social movements are both not enough? Terror attacks?

He specifically endorsed the idea of wildcat strikes, which do indeed have the potential to be quite disruptive.

The teachers' wildcat strikes early in Trump's presidency were disruptive and successful.

And you know who also endorsed a general strike?

As I recall you supported Democrat Gillum as Governor of Florida.

You thought Gillum was going to win, you were so sure Gillum was going to win and he lost.

And what's your point?

By S L s logic Andrew Gillum was going to win and he lost. Then S L posts by their logic Andrew Gillum should have won easily for Governor of Florida, lol.

Your not listening to a word I said and would rather resort to your usual nonsense. I said online polls are not scientific. If they were he should be your governor.

The intellectual leader of American liberalism dying the same week that John Oliver told his audience that voting and "co-optable social movements" are not going to bring about real change and that "real discomfort" is needed is a BIG win for my camp

Here's to hoping that RBG was the last SCOTUS justice to die in office

John Oliver still has a career?

I'm in my 30s. There is something wrong with all of those scenarios from my perspective. Ideally it wouldn't happen or would be more rare. Most of the people who back Biden, don't truly love his policy platform like Trump supporters love Trump's policies.

You have an issue with interracial marriage, hijabs, hearing a foreign language spoken or two men holding hands. How shocking. Your in the minority on all of this.

I think Amy Barrett would be a great replacement, she is a lifelong conservative who will uphold moral values, while stopping the left from progressing

Nah. Borderline religious wackjob and is probably anti-lgbt.

The pewpewbangbang crowd will love her though.

I am sure he is saddened to hear you don’t like him.
