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:
Nat Weiner and Joseph Cannisi (Letters, The Chief) have done a good job of exposing the weaknesses of each other's arguments. Yes, Kamala Harris did not do a good job of emphasizing President Joe Biden's accomplishments and distancing herself from his mistakes.
But 77 million-plus Trump voters preferring a style of obnoxiously delivered lies does not say much for them. As for those who voted for him based on one issue, inflation, how is that working out?
Palestinian-Americans and their supporters who stayed home on Election Day certainly are not rejoicing over the past and present president's Mideast policy.
But Cannisi is spot on when he says that Republicans who don't want to lose their freedom had better get on the cases of their Congressional representatives. The latter seem to be willing to stay in office by any means, even if that means becoming figureheads under a Trump dictatorship.
But Democrats could come up with better and more electable candidates. But greedy, rich Democrats don't want to pay higher taxes they can easily afford anymore than greedy, rich Republicans. That's why we never got a President Bernie Sanders.
Richard Warren
