Am I Wrong In Thinking That The Future Of The Democratic Party Is On The Bubble Regarding Wisconsin
and the Unions in general ???

I hope my party has a couple of clues as to how best to support working men and women.

Otherwise... what's the use?

:shrug:

2. how so ? the Dem governor before this guy never did what he is trying to do
it is Dem lawmakers who have left the state to try to avoid the vote on this from coming up and passing.

3. So far, our most powerful Dem leader has adopted the false narrative...
...of the right, even going so far as to freeze gov't worker salaries just weeks after agreeing to tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans - disturbingly like Walker.

imo we are getting very close to the moment when we'll know if this party has a future - and if a third party will arise to represent the people.

7. You Say Hyperbole Like It's A Bad Thing
History (U.S. or otherwise) is rife with hyperbolic statements.

Some were warnings, some were nonsense, some came true, some started movements, some caused the misery of thousands.

As the old Union song goes... "Which side are you on boys..."

Dems NEED to make this Crystal Clear!

5. We clearly are at a turning point
What happens in WI could change things for some time to come. Or, see that they remain the same. I guess time will tell.

6. Where are the Dem leaders???
It sure would be nice if someone other than Russ Feingold and Jesse Jackson came up there to support the workers. The Dems want us to knock on doors for them....what are they doing for the unions?
