    Even if that were true, you know what would make them not look bad? Doing the right thing in the first place.

    EDIT:

    Think about this from the reverse perspective: If you wanted to maximize your chances at success, it’s better to maximize the potential cost to businesses and governments for not listening to you.

    The perspective of “You’re making us look bad by… showing the ways we’re not doing good.” Is a really backwards, elite-oriented way of understanding politics. Politicians are in theory supposed to serve the people, not the other way around.

      You’re right, we should just embrace Trump. He’s super pro union right? This will totally work out great for the working class.

      Edit: I’ll add /s in here in case any idiots are reading.

      That’s very true and i figured I’d get downvoted for asking, it’s just this election has me so nervous because it’s still such a toss up and people equate any (even perceived) economic downturn as being the fault of the current administration. I just wanted to know if anyone here had any more insight on the dude.

      At the end of the day it’s all about the workers and i don’t mind suffering small inconveniences if it gets the wiring class better lives.
