"This year’s election is a test for the working-class coalition that lifted Trump into the White House and gave majorities to Republicans in the House and Senate" - the under-educated coalition? This is the only reason working class would vote Republican. Oh, hold on, bigotry too.

If that happens 3 OR 4 HUNDRED MORE TIMES they MIGHT start to MAYBE Reconsider voting for Republicans!

Trump could do what the Democrats never could, put a Democrat from Texas in the US Senate.

Zero sympathy for the MAGA turds. They voted for the shit, now eat it.
Bos can explain to his family how he's so fucking stupid he made sure this is what would happen to them.
My favorite part is how he was the only one who could prevent new wars. And stop existing wars. It's pretty cool how now there's no more wars. Amerika is finely great again.

I feel sorry for the children - but only the children
He was fine with this happening to families other than his. I hope it gets worse for him.

I’ll be honest, at first I read it as “I Got Punched In Ohio” and before reading the rest was wondering why that’s a news headline. Made me laugh when I realized.
So he says. He sounds like a tree voting for the axe type.
I see a lot of hatred towards these people, it makes sense given what community we are in.
Personally, I don’t want them to suffer, but I do find humor in it, just as my coping mechanism.
I would be salty and get them to admit they were wrong, taking satisfaction in a big I told you so is much better than wanting more suffering even if they deserve it.

Well then the rally should have an even higher turn out then.
Sipping tea from beer mugs with his co-workers…
What the fuck??? Who does that? The lead photo in the article clearly shows them drinking beer. Such a weird sentence.
I used to fish with my dad in a creak/river than ran behind a different Navistar location. Freaky perch were not rare. No idea what they were dumping in that water (or I guess someone upstream; I can't prove it was them, but I don't recall it from other parts upstream).
Hahahaha. Love knowing so many of these people will be homeless. Don't expect me to give you a dollar - gotta pull yourself up!

In the end, it's always the fucking suits.
I see a lot of people like this being treated with total contempt, which is your right, but a few things to keep in mind.
-
Please remember 70% of voters are not Democrat. Democrats are 30% of voters, Republicans 30% of voters, and Independents are 40% of voters. Insulting and celebrating the hardships and deaths of those who don't agree with you is a very bad look, and won't convince anyone that your minority party (Democrats) is the cure.

Very few people are actually informed. Their entire waking life can be their job and children. Spare time is spent in non-political activities, like watching a goofy show. Many people are juggling multiple jobs and don't have a lot of spare time to research politics or history. Maybe zero time. So they go with their gut. (this is often wrong, but remains true). Make it easy for their gut.

Keep in mind that you require independent voters to win every federal election. Would you like to win an election? Then you better get some Independent votes. Insulting and humiliating others does absolutely nothing for you. You could be totally right, your anger might be well founded, but it doesn't help you.

Do you agree that there are a significant amount of stupid people? These stupid people don't like being called stupid, and take this all very seriously. You want the votes of stupid people. Would you like stupid people to vote for your party? Spending your days mocking and insulting anonymously can be a lot of fun, but it's no way to WIN.
This is a big election upcoming, go out and vote! ... and if you're up for it, maybe try to be kind to a voter or three. It can only help your cause. Contempt hurts you.

Needs to mention excuse Navistar gave for layoffs.
