I don’t watch TYT, so I can’t go into too many specifics. But from what I do know, Cenk and Ana have both been buying into the crime scare bullshit, and agree with Republicans on immigration. Ana has also been saying stuff that is anti-trans. Cenk and Ana are no longer at all leftists. Maybe funding dried up and they are trying to pander to a different audience?

Yes

Kagi FastGPT is okay for fact checking. You’ve just gotta put “cite sources” at the end of your query and it will add in-text citations with hyperlinks. Then you can double check its answers.

I can’t tell if you’re joking. Your comment is making me have 2017 flashbacks

It used to be. The meanings of words change over time

Then I guess I better start praising our lord and savior Xi Jinping /s

Anyone who uses the word “tankie” as a pejorative is a dumbass and needs to touch grass. Same goes for people who defend people’s use of the word “tankie”.

The term tankie is used to vilify leftists and sow division amongst leftists. It is also used by chronically online liberals to describe anyone who is left of center.

Why are both of the USB drives red?

What’s your point? Harris had 7.4 million less votes compared to Biden in 2020

When I say “other things” I am referring to her far right immigration policy, very pro-police and pro-military rhetoric, and her overall lack of policy that would improve people lives (for example, expanding Medicaid). All she ever talked about was subsidies for first-time homebuyers and small business owners. Both are terrible policy to be campaigning on for obvious reasons.

Running on the same platform as Biden was a terrible idea, and running on “I’m not Trump” was only ever gonna work once. When it comes to losing Democratic voters, I don’t think being black or a woman had anything to do with it.

Agreed. Harris lost by more than 7 million votes. Leftists were critical of Kamala because she is pro-Israel, among other things. These “other things” are the reasons most people who abstained from voting didn’t vote for her.

If Dems wanted to win then they should have had better messaging and policy. Kamala lost because her platform didn’t appeal to most Americans. She never talked about anything that would improve people’s material conditions, and instead tried to appeal to “fallen Republicans”.

Harris didn’t lose this election because of Gaza. She lost it because she ran a dogshit campaign. Democrats had nothing to be excited for so they didn’t bother voting. People aren’t as motivated to vote when they are merely doing lesser evil voting.

If only the 7 million leftists in this country had voted for Harris instead of abstaining. /s

Leftists just pointed out the flaws in Harris’ campaign. Dems ran a shit campaign in an attempt to appeal to “fallen Republicans”.

You’re welcome to blame leftists for Kamala losing the election. But in doing so you are failing to see why Harris really lost the election. Though I’m sure the Dems will do the same. They learn from nothing.

Yes and no. It’s kind of a stereotype that construction workers and other tradesmen tend to lean conservative. Working class men such as construction workers make up much Joe Rogan’s audience. Joe Rogan endorsed Trump

Because they listen to Joe Rogan?

Now you’ve gotta figure out whether they’re talking about climate change or The Rapture

No, this won’t work. Soy sauce is too thin, so what you need is soy concentrate. If you can’t find it online then just Venmo me $20 and I can send you some.

Most are unionized but not all. Kroger’s union is also just not very good. I never met a union rep that wasn’t friends with management. They do very little to actually represent workers. Also, Kroger has such a high turnover rate that newer employees will usually vote to approve any contract that gives them a raise, no matter how small.

These contracts last for a few years, so as other retailers raise wages to compete with each other, Kroger workers are stuck in their old contract until it expires. If anything, Kroger’s union results in lower wages for the workers compared to other grocery retailers.

UFCW is further weakened by “right-to-work” laws that give union benefits to non-union employees. In my experience, many of the people who opt out of union membership are brainwashed by conservatism and are anti-union. They are also often the people who stay at Kroger the longest.

In addition, Kroger has dozens of “districts”, each with their own contract. These contracts are all negotiated at different times so that if there is a strike, Kroger can send managers from other districts and hire scabs until the strike is over. This prevents strikes from ever really hurting Kroger’s bottom line.

So, to answer your question, Kroger is technically unionized but it’s union is pretty ineffective. Kroger basically operates the same as Walmart or Meijer but with a handful of union policies that they have to follow or they might get fined for a union violation.

With that being said, I am still very pro union. The above is just based on my own experience, having worked there for too many years.
