    IATSE isn’t part of the strike. Most likely because AMPTP would find a way to make American Gladiators with non-union labor, which would be a body blow to the union.

    If you’re IATSE, you’re working right now, because the union isn’t on strike.

    Edit: upon re-re-re-reading your comment, I now think you’re saying that the crew got fucked over, which I wholeheartedly agree with.











  • That was at the end of a redistricting cycle, in a Senate year favorable to Dems. Next election will be more difficult.

    GOP have gerrymandered their way into a majority in the House, the Senate is pre-gerrymandered for them (because establishment Dems visibly abandoned the working class during and after NAFTA), and they don’t even pretend to expect to get a straight popular majority in any upcoming Presidential elections.

    They’ve abandoned democracy. They know they can’t get a majority of popular votes in a straight-up count, and they know they don’t need to. All they need to do is continue ratfucking the system and keep a strategic fringe endlessly outraged, and they’re set.
