Have a couple cousins sort of like this. They like the idea of the Union, like back in the day it genuinely did do most of the stuff a Union was supposed to do, but then the mob got involved (Chicago) and it became super corrupt/political and the management was more focused on that side of things than it was on actually helping the blue collar guys so… Neat in concept but, in practice over time, not as neat.
I mean, that'd make sense if they were independent, didn't specify, or just unspecified left Democrats sit a tick left of center, and republicans sit very far down on the right. So neither party captures very many people But still so many union ppl are right-wing Unions are leftist af 😭
