It took just under a year for Democrats and Republicans to hand the NLRB over to Republicans (feddit.nl)

Today's headline US Senate committee clears Boeing lawyer's stalled NLRB nomination marks almost exactly 51 weeks since the Democrats alley-ooped the NLRB to the Republicans for a slam dunk. Here's a reminder of how that happened (under Biden, too). Republicans keep swallowing political institutions whole in the U.S., and anyone who has their faith placed in the Democrats must be completely delusional, especially after the recent government shutdown disgrace.

I would say that now the U.S. is officially under corporate control (yes, I know it was before but I mean now it's legally locked down), what with the NLRB and Supreme Court in the Republicans' pocket. Labor doesn't stand a chance anymore.

... Prove me wrong???

This is the right framing too, and why I call Democrats 'collaborators'.

We don't have legitimate opposition. They're just handing America over to the fascists and enriching themselves in the process.

i think it's more delusional since we keep seeing the democrats cave over and over again; but people still FIRMLY believe that they are the solution.
