A few of our stories and columns are now in front of the paywall. We at The Chief-Leader remain committed to independent reporting on labor and civil service. It's been our mission since 1897. You can have a hand in ensuring that our reporting remains relevant in the decades to come. Consider supporting The Chief, which you can do for as little as $3.20 a month.
To the editor:
Kamala Harris and many of her supporters are telling us Democrats not to give up or let up; that now is the time to fight even harder for our principles in the face of a Trump autocracy. OK, we won’t give up.
But Harris and many Dems must be living in their own world of naive hopefulness. America has changed and not for the better. Hey, 53 percent of white women voters chose a misogynist who wants to criminalize women’s rights. The $1.5 billion we Democratic supporters donated before the election did nothing to help Harris and Walz.
But Democratic support groups want us to keep giving. I think I speak for many when I say “Fuhgeddaboudit!"
Now, many of us Democrats are going to relax and take a long vacation from politics. We may even think back to the advice of Timothy Leary: “Tune in, turn on, and drop out.”
