The Republican plan to screw everyone but himself.

Yeah a few would skate by for awhile but the only person who matters to Trump is Trump.

I’m a proud member of the union for govt employees. Joined my first day of employment. My grandfather and uncles were in unions and I’m very proud to continue the tradition.

It reminds me a lot of Bill Clinton's first campaign. I was in college, and the energy surrounding that race was so positive, so exciting and fun. This is like an extension of that energy - the optimism and enthusiasm and FUN!!

Loving Walz almost as much as I love Joe Biden, they're both decent.

People normally just don't self-organize into a large group for no reason. Usually it is for self-protection (don't get me started on book clubs) against threats to their safety. Historically Unions exist for important reasons, those reasons still are true today, thus we still need Unions. You'll note I did not mention Capitalism, for reasons.

The people who smart politicians leave alone if they want to look good.

Where has this Walz guy been all my life? I love him.

My parents were both life-long union members, and it was the most normal thing in the world, no odder than getting a library card, or going to public school. Now I have to listen to my middle-of-the-road nonprofit employer make insinuations about how sinister unions are.

A lifetime of being indoctrinated into the mysteries of Crapitalism will do that to ya.

DH is a member of NTEU, (National Treasury Employees Union.) I wonder if the USSS is in that union.
