Apparently it already has gotten another insurance company that had just announced a ghoulish coverage policy for anesthesia to reverse course.

Women and LGBTQ+ people take up guns after Trump’s win: ‘We need to protect ourselves’

It works because those of us who read and learn about things like this are a minority of the population. Not one large enough to counteract the effect either.

Democrats decry ‘sham for justice’ after prosecutors drop Trump charges

Dropping them now actually prevents a Trump Admin appointee from getting them dismissed with prejudice. it sucks that trumps delay tactics let him run out the clock, and it's unclear of Garland was malicious or incompetent in how long he delayed appointing Smith. Hopefully we come out the other side.

That's some DARVO nonsense. People don't become racists because someone told them to stop being racist - that's literally reversing cause and effect. Not to mention getting things out of order chronologically. You're just trying to find some way to be smug and "above it all" and claim you have the answer.
You don't have the answer, you cannot even get basic causality right.

Or you could understand that "gun ownership" and "gun regulation" are not incompatible concepts, despite NRA/Russian propaganda to the contrary.

Neoliberals are anti-union. there is no such things a a pro-union neoliberal. All you're doing is showing that you have no idea what you're talking about, and making the rest of us leftists look like idiots by your company.
as for your stupid vice link, i see you and raise you the actual unions involved: https://www.ibew.org/media-center/Articles/23Daily/2306/230620_IBEWandPaid
screw your kiddie-pool-depth faux-leftism.

You never paid attention to the follow up on this one did you?
the reason the strike was killed was because it was "thousands of working people vs millions of working people". The Democrats voted to insert the contested item (sick leave) and the republicans blocked that vote (Which had to be separate because stupid legislative rules).
However the Biden administration kept fighting in the background for the unions to get their sick leave, and eventually won. The unions even posted articles celebrating Biden getting them their sick leave.
that situation was a complex one and a reminder to not view the world in black and white.

People going around claiming the Democrats are neoliberal immediately after they leaned super hard into unions is some serious gaslighting horseapples.
