Harris supports the PRO Act, Trump opposes it. Harris supports PLA's and the biden harris administration has mandated them on most federal funded projects, Trump banned PLAs on federal projects. Harris is against right-to-work laws, Trump supports a national right-to-work law. The Butch-Lewis act saved the pensions of over a million union workers, Trump was against the Butch-Lewis act all 3 times the law was presented to him, the Biden-Harris administration told congress they would not sign the American Rescue Plan unless the Butch-Lewis Act was part of it.

These are the actual facts, if all you want to talk about is transgenders, wokeness, and cancel culture, vote for whoever you want, but if we talk about unions wages, pensions, worker rights, and unions working on federal projects, the choice couldnt be clearer

What do you think about Donald Trump calling for termination of parts of our Constitution?
It will never happen. Come on. He knows that he’s just being provocative. Only 27 amendments out of 14,000 since its inception! They all have nationalized everything! Federalism is the way! The States should have all the power they granted certain responsibilities to the federal government. States/colonies preceded the union are they would have never ratified the constitution. The constitution lays out how to change things but it is very hard to do. I personally would like to see all future presidents to focus on what the constitution allows the executive powers to be. They all have to much power!

We would’ve never come to be top dog had we stayed a loose network of states with no strong federal government. Probably would’ve been eventually dominated again is my thought.

Mesopotamia, Assyrians, Egyptians, Phoenicians, Greece, Rome, British Empires . We are heading for the same fate. Top dog can do it the right way and be blessed and prosper but once corruption, invasions, loss of balance of power, etc.. it’s the beginning of the end!! We have this amazing hubris that the American Empire is going to last forever, That’s what Rome thought to!

I remember my first strike at UPS in the 70's. We had been looking to buy all new appliances for our newer house and I remember going to the place where we had been dealing on them and telling the guy that we would have to hold off because of the strike. He said "don't worry about it--you won't be out that long" so we went ahead and financed them just so we could get some credit built up. Strike lasted 2 weeks and we had the stuff paid off within a couple of months.

We have to keep dragging regressives into the future. Nothing new. Always have to win by 3-4% or more just to barely win the EC. But let’s keep the system that tries to hold back America to appease angry haters.
You should probably move to a country that’s less regressive. There’s plenty of people who apparently think this is a great place unlike you.

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.

Nope, our constitution is what allowed us to fix the wrongs that were committed in the beginning. Our forefathers were geniuses. You On the other hand…….
The EC was a compromise to get the slaving south to sign onto the Constitution. Three-Fifths Compromise, etc. It’s a sad legacy that I hope America has the courage to change in the future.

I’m just pointing out some of the problems that concern me. Do MAGA Republicans never complain about the country? All I hear from their candidate is doom and gloom nonsense.

Come to think of it, didn’t Donald Trump promise to leave the country if Joe Biden won the 2020 election? I think he did. No, I KNOW he did.
