AOC’s ignorant, despicable slap at police unions
https://nypost.com/2020/08/18/aocs-ignorant-despicable-slap-at-polie-unions/
Reacting to news that the city Police Benevolent Association endorsed President Trump, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez actually asked why the PBA is allowed to endorse anyone. Is the Democratic Socialist really that ignorant of Democracy 101?
“NYPD union endorsed Trump. I’m sure this is part of their neighborhood outreach plan,” the Queens uber-progressive snarked, before moving on to her deeper thought: “Does anyone else see a potential problem with police unions — enforcement arms of the state with lethal weapons — promoting ‘preferred’ candidates for office or is that just me?”
For starters, unions aren’t arms of the state: They’re associations that (among other things) look to influence the state on behalf of their members. And her suggestion that New York’s Finest would use their weapons to push an electoral outcome is beyond despicable.
In any case, the PBA (like every other municipal union) endorses candidates all the time — in races where its endorsements matter a lot more than this one. (If the president wins New York, the election won’t be close.)
AOC is surely aware that the United Federation of Teachers is a political powerhouse in the city, as its parent union is statewide. Even without guns, they manage to spread a lot more fear than do all the cop unions put together.
We’re not fans of any public-sector unions, which don’t face anything like the kind of checks and balances that restrict the power of private-sector labor organizations.
But Ocasio-Cortez’s complaint here looks like yet another case of progressive intolerance: Anyone who disagrees with her, and actually organizes in opposition, must be doing something wrong.

Cons:
We love unions now. I gotta say, she's doing a hell of a job converting people to Marxism
We all were duped by the bullshit NBC NEWS.....I bet none of you including me knew that AOC was ASKED TO DO THIS and NBC did not correct the tweet until many hours later. All the media is fucktarded and so are we for simply buying what they sell. That is why shit happens.
Editor's note and clarification (2/2): Ocasio-Cortez was asked by the DNC to second Sanders' nomination. The nomination is a procedural requirement of the convention. Ocasio-Cortez has previously endorsed Biden, & her speech was similar in length to other nominating speeches. NBC NEWS

I did my due diligence and gave HBB the benefit of the doubt in post 83

If she were a 3D-thinker, she'd just get everyone to buy stamps. She could have stopped it right there. Because as you mentioned, they lose money by delivering the mail.
Buy the stamps, but don't send mail. Everyone wins!
If we follow her plan, the trees are burned down to make the paper that the stamps are printed on, and the paper used to make the envelopes, and the paper used to write the letters on.
Whoops, backfire! Starting a "national progressive penpal program" will kill more trees than we would if we didn't do any of this shit! She is no fan of the spotted owl.
