You seem to pin all your hopes on the prospect of having a 60-40 Democratic majority in the Senate. Yet you call supporting a third party "utopian." And what makes you think the Dems will be interested in passing serious labor-law reform once they have this lopsided majority, anyway?
Has it occurred to you that a few of those congressional Dems may have ended up deciding to vote for labor-law reform because they knew it would get filibustered anyway? So they could go back to their labor supporters with a lost-cause vote, while reassuring business that they had no intention of actually passing a law?
