There is proof that the Supreme Court Justices have facilitated plutocrats spending gazillions in any state of their choosing to destroy workers' rights.
The battle to stop this will be between Montana and the said Supremes.
I am pissed.

(24,331 posts)Combine that with a poor candidate and being massively outspent, and you have a recipe for loss. It's not exactly complicated, or as apocalyptic as some people seem to make it.

(15,438 posts)Wisconsinite voters alone had that power, and the Democrats and most Independents voted against removing a corrupt and bought Republican governor.
This might not have been a rebuke of workers, labor, or progressives and, instead, be an unwillingness to recall a governor if he's not directly indicted for criminal behavior, but fact remains, workers, labor, and progressives lost BIG TIME last night.
It appears the Republicans have the right strategy for America: treat Americans like stench-ridden crap, take away their rights, their money, their jobs, and you get their vote!
