Editorial: For a Workers Party!

Martin Luther King, Jr. Quotes: In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

 The Silence of the Labor Bureaucracy !: After the 2008 crash, They Gave Support the the Democrats  when the Dems Bipartinancy Spent $Billions to Bail Out Wall Street. When People Raised the Slogan “Bail Out Main Street Not Wall Street!”, The Labor Bureaucracy was Silent for They Were In Partnership with the Boss’! In1985, They Had Already Supported a Program Based on the Concept that ‘What’s Good for the Boss is Good For the Workers’* ! The Labor Bureaucary Flourished After 2008, but to this Day, the Working Class has Never Recivered! In 1985 I saw a written document, signed by the International Buliding Trades Unions Partnership Agreement that Also Had a Pledge to Police Local UNION That Violated the Ageement! That is What Happend in the 1985 Local P9Hormel Strike, Against the two-Tier Wage System. The UFCW Formed a New Local P10, A Scab Union to Break the Strike! 

The Article, Americans’ Dismal Views of the Nation’s Politics,  Proves That the Conditions are Rotten Ripe for a Revolution Within Labor! When the Union Leadership, The ‘Socialists’, like Bernie Sanders and the ‘Squad’ Supported President Biden’s Opposition to the Railworkers Right to Strike,  They Proved Themselves to be the 1%’s Fifth Column in the Working Class!      What is Necessary to Defend Our Rights and Livelihood is a New Labor Leadership to Oppose and Break from Today’s Labor Bureaucracy’s Policy of a ‘Partnership With the Boss’.          We need a Leadership that Fights for Needs and Rights of the  the Working Class, the 99% Majority, — Not for the Needs of the Democratis Party!     A Leadership That  Advocates and Works for the Building of an Independent Political Party!    A Workers Party, Not in the 1%’s Interests, But in Our Economic Interests!:     

Americans’ Dismal Views of the Nation’s Politics … A comprehensive new Pew Research Center study of the state of the nation’s politics finds no single focal point for the public’s dissatisfaction. There is widespread criticism of the three branches of government, both political parties, as well as political leaders and candidates for office.      Notably, Americans’ unhappiness with politics comes at a time of historically high levels of voter turnout in national elections.

• Just 4% of U.S. adults say the political system is working extremely or very well; another 23% say it is working somewhat well. About six-in-ten (63%) express not too much or no confidence at all in the future of the U.S. political system.
• Positive views of many governmental and political institutions are at historic lows. Just 16% of the public say they trust the federal government always or most of the time. While trust has hovered near historic lowsfor the better part of the last 20 years, today it stands among the lowest levels dating back nearly seven decades. And more Americans have an unfavorable than favorable opinion of the Supreme Court – the first time that has occurred in polling going back to the late 1980s.
• A growing share of the public dislikes both political parties. Nearly three-in-ten (28%) express unfavorable views of both parties, the highest share in three decades of polling. And a comparable share of adults (25%) do not feel well-represented by either 
• Candidate choices are underwhelming. As the presidential campaign heats up, 63% of Americans say they are dissatisfied with the candidates who have emerged so far. Setting aside the presidential campaign, there has been a downward trend in views of the quality of allpolitical candidates. Just 26% rate the quality of political candidates as very or somewhat good, down about 20 percentage points since 2018.
• Majorities back age and term limits and eliminating the Electoral College. Reflecting the public’s frustration with the federal government and political leaders, large shares of Americans support various changes to the political system, including for such long-standing proposals as establishing term limits for members of Congress and scrapping the Electoral College. Age limits – for both federal elected officials and members of the Supreme Court – draw broad support. But there is little appetite in the public for increasing the size of the U.S. House or modifying the allocation of Senate seats.
