    Oh yeah, both sides bad. And what, you think that the right wingers/conservatives are on the side of the working class economically? You think that the parties that are screaming to cut taxes of the wealthy (check the tax cuts handed out by the R in 2016-2020, check out the actual way they manipulate the bills in house and senate) are actually behaving and tell me you’re not getting conned hand over fist.

    while I lean conservative I am pro-union

    You cannot support corporations , the rich , and conservatives and be Pro-union. The only unions conservatives support, are ironically based on ideology, like coal or petrol extraction.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-to-work_law#U.S._states_with_right-to-work_laws

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-to-work_law

    Unlike the right to work definition as a human right in international law, U.S. right-to-work laws do not aim to provide a general guarantee of employment to people seeking work but rather guarantee an employee’s right to refrain from paying or being a member of a labor union.

    When (if) you look at those wikipedia articles, you will notice that the “right to work 😉” states are generally R voting, conservative ones. You know, the same party you seem to vote for if you’re not underage or not even from the US, since you don’t actually participate in Lemmy as a whole, and post articles to conservative communities and reply to your own posts only.

    Conservatives are not pro union. Unions are a left wing way for workers to collectively get a better deal at the expense of capitalists.

    And again, we (allegedly) both want something to be done. Conservatives will do nothing.

    To solve the housing issue, you’d need to lower the price by increasing supply. Why are people against that? Because then you have tons of people who already own an home underwater on their loans. It’s really unfortunate but this is how a lot of people think about the housing issue.

    Wow, sucks for them for having played the game and lost. Oh well, it’s a financial risk. Shouldn’t have bought a house you couldn’t afford. Also, cite reference, people with mortgages that are dependant on the market are the people that set up this fucking issue to begin with, so let them go bankrupt, you’re right wing, right? It’s personal responsibility and part of the risk of investment. These aren’t families with someone working to pay off the mortgage, it’s an asshole that decided to take out 3 mortgages and pretend they’re an investor, or it’s a faceless corporation, possibly owned by (dun dun dun) FOREIGNERS!!!

      I agree with a lot of what you say. But do you really think the democrat party is not ran by the ultra-wealthy as well? I mean look at how they swept bernie sanders under the rug. He was the best candidate of your party in decades.
