Nothing could be easier to sell. I think the idea would spread across country effortlessly -- maybe more like wildfire. No need for charismatic national leadership. Unions would pour billions into it -- but they needn't. Polls say 50% of workers in the private sector want a union -- only 6% are organized -- That should be all the poll we ever need.
I am not a Schumer hater. After all, without his efforts working with stubborn Sen. Manchin we wouldn’t have the modest Infllation Reduction Act. But that mess he created means he should be asked to hang up his spurs as leader. He made himself clear in his interview with Chris Hayes that he does not believe we are in a constitutional crisis. We may get there, he says, but we’re not there yet. I’m sorry but that’s not just poor judgment, it’s delusional. But who is the heir apparent?
-- Are we going to go to the wall and fight, really fight, for the labor movement? --
The best defense is a good offense:

Thank you Mike.

Beautifully said.
