Whose pro-working class agenda might that be? The Senate Democrats'? What, exactly, have they promised us?

And what exactly are you criticizing here? In your last post, you said 1199 should support third-party spoilers; now you apparently bemoan their obstruction of the Senate Democrats. Frankly, you switch back and forth between these position with such speed I'm not sure what you expect me to argue against.
