It’s like saying “Sure my husband’s a serial killer, but he’s great with the kids.” If someone said that to you, the only conclusion you could possibly come to is that…
You drank too much of Bernie “Zionazi apologist” Sanders. They did not do it because they were “principled”. Even your precious socdems don’t give a shit about you, though their rhetoric may suggest otherwise. And while yes, labor unionization can win you a few crumbs, you gotta remember that these are 1) crumbs that the capitalists 2) were willing to give them should the workers start to get annoying, and 3) these crumbs are only possible because of US/Western imperialism. There “principled politicians” do this to bribe the working class, to pacify it - because it is easier than the stick. Once you ask for too much, or once the empire starts to crumble - then you’ll get the stick. And don’t worry, the militarized police in the US get to have a VERY big stick nowadays.
