Not saying it wasn’t disappointing to see him there, but there is also an argument that the Teamsters were there with a pro-labor message (that was not well received by the crowd) in order to push democrats toward voting on pro labor legislation called the PRO Act I believe, which they did the following week.

I can tell you that there are some very confused members of the Teamsters that will vote against their own interests because they’re brainwashed by right wing media. The leadership is not. They were sending a message to the Democratic Party that lawmakers need to hold up their end of the bargain. The PRO Act ended up on the floor the following week if I recall correctly.

Edit: The PRO Act is legislation meant to strengthen workers’ rights to organize.

This would be more beautiful if there was a tunnel on the other side of the bridge.

I just don’t see it. There are too many vested interests in maintaining an ever-present conflict to justify consolidated power in the hands of those who have it.

I’m going to save this comment and copy and paste it into comments on basically every news story ever.
