    Jeet Heer Retweeted Josh Barro

    It's fascinating the people who claim to be worried that the Democrats have lost touch with the working class are also virulently anti-union. And also think that a working class party should take instruction from trust fund Ivy Leaguers.https://twitter.com/jbarro/status/1493643801394565120 …

    As @mattyglesias notes, left-wing political staffers have too much influence over what Democrats do, pushing them to do and say unpopular things. If Democrats start letting congressional office staff unionize, that problem will only get worse. https://www.joshbarro.com/p/left-wing-staffers-bias-democrats?r=9w60 …

        LMAO, the democrats really need to hire staffers like Nestor Gaetz in order to understand the voice of true Americans.

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        Too much punditry still considers only manufacturing workers to be "working class." The whole service economy--which is now trying to unionize--somehow doesn't count.

        Replying to @VirginiaOPossum @HeerJeet

        Most people still think service industry workers are all teenager and college students. They don’t see a job in the service industry as a career; no need for a union because it’s just a step up from temporary labor to begin with.

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        This is the most stinging critique of the Matt/Nate/Josh/Ezra goofus axis. Trust funders don't actually know working class people. Visiting Texas once for two days doesn't make you an expert

        Do people really think that Ezra is there now? He seems staggeringly more self-aware and able to maintain perspective than those galaxy brains to me.

        As infuriating as unionized workers being proud trumpers.

        Replying to @ritualspoon @HeerJeet

        I worked for the forest service in the summer during college. There is a fed union but it is basically worthless. You agree to never strike which makes the union impotent. There’s probably a few positive points cuz of the union but otherwise it hardly improves workers lives.
