    “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.”

      Many people are incapable of seeing it this way. So spread the word. Clear communication is one of our weaknesses, let’s get better.

      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.
