Actually bolstering the protesters resolve by not getting only getting her support but by bringing her followers on board? I dont get why this is a question lol
Imagine youre someone that follows someone you respect. You are someone who actively supports and donates to good causes
Something happens on the otherside of the continent and you have no clue.
When your respected individual supports the cause on the otherside of the continent and begins to spread awareness, you become aware and then you do your part in donating or spreading awareness which further validates the cause
This is just one way to look at it too… just stop with the blind hate. Do you even have good examples about why aoc is just doing this for pr?
Pretty embarrassing to be an adult and not have a basic understanding that everything is not black or white.
Just cause someone is a politician doesnt automatically make them unethical or corrupt. You literally need to be a politician to participate in the political system… i shouldnt have to be telling you people this lol…
Well yes and no, since we have USPS (for now). I sell quite a bit online and the prices for anything below a certain size and weight are below UPS and FEDEX prices. With the caveat that the the backend hauling for USPS is generally contacted out to various companies including XPO and UPS.
Anything above the size and weight of a package will get shipped freight through any manner of independent carriers that take jobs from a dispatcher.
Thanks for the contribution. You are of course correct that there are (some) alternatives. I was mainly addressing the implication that unions are ‘bad’ because they are market distorting. Economies of scale mean the market for consumer package delivery tends toward oligopoly and is already distorted on the employer side.

So taking PR credits for strikers doing all the work and taking all the risk…
Also I don’t think “her followers” need to her to support the right thing.
Clown politician worship has to stop.
Your viewing it narrow mindedly…

She is a politician.
Thats a comically poor argument
Adult people believing that a politician is represeting them is also commical… unless you are in that industry and it pays the bills.

AOC is going to be president one day, isn’t she? I truly admire her.
Probably not. She is a good politician, but I don’t think she can overcome a lot of negativity that comes from her position.
She is much more likely going to be Speaker of the House.
Apparently America only elects milk toast centrists or right wing lunatics. Genuinely progressive politicians are completely out of the question.

AOC is one of the most pragmatic politicians in the last 30 years.
It’s amazing that everything that Republicans tried to portray her as have actually ended up coming back to them in the form of MTG.
FedEx and UPS operate as an oligopoly in the US. Damn right workers need a strong union.
