It’s not such a big topic of debate at the moment, but could I suggest adding the Employee Free Choice Act to the list of reasons to avoid all three Democrat candidates?
It’s listed in all of their manifestos as a priority. In a nutshell, it removes the secret ballot from union elections (when a company’s workers decide whether to join a union and which one to join).
In other words, it turns huge sections of America over to organised crime. Most American private sector unions today are dominated by decent people who care deeply for their members. Once intimidation starts to be the way to win elections, expect the face of America to change considerably.
Only semi-on-point, but in my head this was going to be a 2 sentence comment. Sorry.
