Democratic union voters fed up Harris isn’t cutting through in Pennsylvania

PHILADELPHIA — Pennsylvania Democrats are exasperated with Vice President Kamala Harris‘s problems appealing to blue-collar union workers, with the lack of support undermining her electoral prospects in the Keystone State on Tuesday.

Former President Donald Trump and Tesla, SpaceX, and X billionaire businessman Elon Musk have been crisscrossing Pennsylvania, the commonwealth that could decide next week’s election, and other battleground states, both of whom have mixed records regarding unions but also enormous appeal among the crucial voting bloc.

At the same time, for example, Harris was unable to secure the endorsements of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, the first time that the union had not publicly backed a candidate since 1996, and the International Association of Fire Fighters a few weeks later.

Meg Young, 58, a retired Bryn Mawr engineer, who was at President Joe Biden‘s Friday union event in Philadelphia — his first public appearance since referring to Trump’s supporters as “garbage” —complained Trump has “said the most heinous things.”

“That’s still not changing their minds,” Young told the Washington Examiner. “I don’t know what else she could say.”

If you're an American worker and can't figure out Harris/Walz is completely hostile to your interests, you're too stupid to pour piss out of a boot with instructions on the heel, and really shouldn't be voting.

Trump may be many things, but he unquestionably all about the American worker and economy, even if I don't agree with every one of his policy solutions.

Shut up, Meg!

   Hoffa will vote for Kumala, so they got that going for them.

Just FYI:

Bryn Mawr College was voted the top LGBTQ-friendly college or university by a survey of roughly 140,000 college students. According to a national Princeton Review survey of roughly 140,000 college students, the most LGBTQ-friendly college in the country is less than 11 miles outside of Philadelphia.
