Actually no, unions had to fight liberalism for their rights, same for women, people of color and those wheelchair bound.
But also the democrats are way less bad than the republicans, saying they are equal is just siding with the republicans because why bother when both are the same. Democrats are still horrible, don’t get me wrong, but it is still easier with them in power rather than republicans
I’m very pro-union, but I dont think this is quite right. Unions have historically taken the lead on many issues of social justice for sure, and fought both parties to do so.
We also can’t just ignore things like The New Deal etc. or the fact that historically the only Republicans to be pro-union were the long gone liberal Republicans. Most of the direct anti union legislation of the past 100 years has also been proposed/passed by Republican political will.
If we paint all ‘liberal’ politics with the brush of neo liberal garbage, we will fall into an all sides trap that will only further the rightward ratchet, undercutting actual meaningful progress.
Personally I see evidence this happening both inside and outside of unions, and it will be neo-con garbage that wins out. Were rights for women, people of color, those wheelchair bound etc. Conservative ideology? I think not.
Not libertarian either, as that ideology will in practice leave some more equal than others, aka the rich and the bosses.

Democrats intentionally kneecap themselves to prevent progress

Your wounds are self inflicted
Blaming communists for capitalism’s failures is a bit silly IMO.
It’s 100% how you voted, you believed the lies and supported ot
Oh sorry I didnt realize you were a democrat.
