re: #637 Obdicut

Now, to prove your contention, provide the number of those votes that were from union members.

Compare that with the amount of money spent by corporations and their front groups like the Chamber of Commerce.

Yes, unions use money to influence elections. That’s the system we have, even more so post-Citizen’s United. I’m really weirded out that somehow people have decided that it’s unions are uniquely doing so.

So when a politician is elected by union support, there is someone tasked with negotiating wages and terms of employment who is not in an adversarial position like what would be the case at a private company. You see not difference in the two situations?
