The Teamsters union on Wednesday said polling shows most of its members back Republican former President Donald Trump’s bid for a new term in the White House over Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris.

The 1.3 million-member union said its executive board plans to announce later on Wednesday who it is endorsing in the 2024 U.S. presidential election.

The union said a national electronic poll of its members from July 24-Sept. 15 showed rank-and-file Teamsters voted 59.6% to endorse Trump compared with 34% for Harris.

    So you’re not mad at Biden for continuing to work with the Union to get a deal both sides would find acceptable, you’re really mad at the union for voting to accept that particular deal?

      I can be mad about more than one thing at a time.

      But Biden trying to help some after fucking them over. That’s kind of the bare minimum. I’d say I’m only a little disappointed in that.

        So to recap this sequence of events:

        You’re mad at Biden because:

        1. A bill that Congress passed preventing railroad workers from going on strike, because it put the good of the nation ahead of the good of the railroad workers.

        2. Biden continuing to negotiate with the railroad unions for months afterwards.

        3. The White House and the railroad unions agreeing to a compromise.

        4. The unions voting to approve that compromise.

        That about sum it up?
