The Democrat Party Has Forgotten Their Roots (by AFGE 2463 President)
FedSmith ^ | Jan 21, 2019

Posted on 01/21/2019 4:37:04 PM PST by 11th_VA

I am President of AFGE Local 2463 representing all the Smithsonian Museums, Research Centers, National Zoo as well as the Kennedy Center. My membership is faced with a government shutdown while the political games continue between the Republicans and the Democrats.

The Democratic Party has forgotten its roots and which groups actually built the Democratic Party. They have taken for granted the union members, the working poor and the African American Community who have marched to the polls and pulled the lever for the Democrats.

Construction sites used to be filled with high paying Union members building housing for Americans. Now you would be lucky to find a union member on one of these sites due to illegal immigration....

I only bring up these facts to demonstrate that the Democrats in DC have forsaken their base for possible votes by illegal immigrants down the political road. How else can they explain their refusal to even put forth some funds for the wall when they know that it will be at the cost of this Union’s employees going forth without a paycheck to pay their landlord or utilities? They have taken us for granted and I say that it is time to remind them who brought them to the dance....

Oh, I'm sure there are a decent number of illegals voting right now, never mind in the future.

AFGE should start signing up illegals. They work for the Democrats too. Collecting dues from them might be a problem though.

Democrats will solve that one when they start taxing robots. Basic Citizen Stipend, otherwise known as “born, collect, stagnate.”

I wish I could remember what SF story I originally read that in.

Their roots are pro-slavery and the KKK.

“...........the Democratic Party. They have taken for granted the union members, the working poor and the African American Community who have marched to the polls and pulled the lever for the Democrats.”

And now the Democrats are taking for granted the Latino community legal, and illegal. It’s what they do. Take, take, take.

Whatever generates maximum votes cheapest, no rules, no holds barred.

They like 'em stupid.

Pelosi has her money and her wall, so she doesn’t give a toss about you.

There was a really hilarious story on the subject of stipend/living wage and the ridiculous unintended consequences of such a thing-”Riders of the Purple Wage”, but that may or may not be the one you are thinking of...

Thrown over for the “new Americans” they are importing from other countries.

I don’t think that’s it.

When the stipend/living wage kicks in, it’s only a matter of time before its brain-dead recipients are mobilized as a killing army against the productive segment of society.

The only thing that will protect us from a Pol Pot type of outcome is the RKBA.

...and have whitewashed their true past.

Slavery
The Trail of Tears (Jackson)
Slavery
Jim Crow Laws
Gun prohibition for Negroes
Lynchings
The Ku Klux Klan
Segregation
Back of the bus
“Whites Only” facilities
School segregation
“Separate but equal”
De-integrating the Federal workforce (Wilson)
Robert KKK Byrd

...just for starters.

It's adorable that this unionist thinks the DNC ever gave a **** about any union or union members. Thanks 11th_VA.

The party that tried to break up the entire country to keep their slaves, the party of The Klan, the party that invented Jim Crow laws, the party that enforced segregation, the party that systematically and deliberately insures po’ folk get free abortions, the party that destroyed urban families and single-handedly eliminated male parents from child rearing, the party that kicked the bottom rungs out of the ladder to success, that party?

The democrat party has forgotten those roots? Really? They sure are not acting like they’ve forgotten!

“They like ‘em stupid.”

Desperate, diffident and deferential will do. That’s why they need this steady stream of new “supporters”. The old ones tend to get uppity, demanding and unreliable.

As a Union Carpenter, local 405 in San Jose. I can confirm that more and more have left the Democratic reservation.
When Clinton first won you'd have thought you were in a communist rally the way 99% of the members were talking. This last election I wouldn't be surprised if President Trump took 50% of the brotherhood.
