[lbo-talk] Virtually all Dems support Card Check Bill

[Michael Dawson]

The basic fact is that we need 60 pro-labor Senators to get labor law
reform.  Which means that if you care about labor law reform, you should be
cheering on the victory of pro-labor southern Democrats as crucial for
building toward that margin.

Or do you really think big rallies in Washington, D.C. are intimidating to
GOP Senators from Red states?

Yes, that is a basic fact -- one which your party ignores.  If it really
supported unions, which it does not, it would be constantly shouting that it
needs 60 pro-labor Senators in order to help ordinary people.  It simply
doesn't care.  It prefers to let half the population languish and fight it
out in so-called "red" states (you're tipping your captive technocratic hand
here, Nate) over who's more moderate and small-government and disinterested
in black people.

The MWM was an error, but its target was your party, not southern
Republicans.  If its organizers had had the discipline to actually wait
until it could draw a million people, perhaps your wall of defenses would
have taken a small blow.
