I might still be a Democrat if the Democrats were about what Ryan was talking about there and they threw the Woke and Intersectionalist garbage into the Dumpster Fire where it belongs.
Of course, the Woke and Intersectionalist garbage is to avoid the issues of income inequality. Without formally announcing it, the Democrats have become the party of Big Business. It's a shock to me, but if people are honest about it, they'll see that it's the case.
Every single Democrat, minus one, voted for this bill.
Every single Republican, minus five, voted against it.
This bill is literally trying to undo things that state-level Republicans have been doing in this country for decades. Things that they've run promising to do, and then gotten re-elected by touting.
Like, there isn't some secret you have to uncover here. There's not some hidden agenda of the two parties where actually they have the reverse of their public positions. One party is pro-worker, the other is anti-worker. That doesn't mean the Democrats are anti-business. They are just capable of balancing the two competing interests for the greater good, while Republicans had complete control of government for two years and didn't lift a finger to help workers beyond some half-baked tariffs that actually hurt workers.
Well, yeah. I criticise Democrats a lot but they for all their faults accept the basic truth that prosperity is built on the backs of ordinary workers.
Republicans make a lot of noise about the workers, but that's it. White noise.
