minus-square@recapitated@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink28•1 month agoIn this thread: “bothering to reach half the country who tends not to agree (or understand) your positions is icky”. Y’all need to get on board with diversity of tactics. Memeing on your ass isn’t going to cut it alone. The union’s job is to empower the workers, like it or not, by getting inserted at the RNC, it will have a lasting impact.
minus-square@recapitated@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink18•1 month agoCase in point, is it more impactful to hear a criticism of Trump from a DNC speaker or an RNC speaker? Wtf is the actual complaint here?
minus-squareknightly the Sneptaurlink15•1 month agoHis presence gives the Republicans standing to claim (however falsely) that they’re the party of working people. I get the argument, but it seems to me that the RNC took advantage of him much more than the other way around.
minus-square@recapitated@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink3•1 month agoThat may be true, but he also got a different kind of message out to a large variety of viewers that was different from the rest of the convention.

minus-square@Hydra_Fk@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkEnglish7•1 month agoLol if you think the bozo who is in a union and votes Republican will ever change their minds about anything. News flash buddy it’s ain’t logic they are running on. You might as well preach to a wall.
minus-square@recapitated@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink2•1 month agoI watched his speech and I am not a Republican voter.
