Its 10:30 a.m. and Dave Green is home for the weekend tinkering with his car. The former president of the local UAW 1112, who once led workers at the shuttered GM Lordstown plant in Ohio, was forced to relocate to Bedford, Indiana, this past summer where he now works on the companys die-cast production line.
Green, whom President Trump famously bashed on Twitter when General Motors announced it was closing the plant, is a devout Democrat and union man who does not care for the president. Like many of his peers across the Midwest, he is waiting and hoping for one of the Democratic presidential candidates to do something inspiring.
The candidates who have the right message arent on the debate stage, said Green of his former congressman Tim Ryan and Sherrod Brown, the US senator from Ohio who dropped out of the contest before the debates even started. We need candidates to actually step up and do more than lip service, do something to help change some of the laws that are anti-worker, he continued. Because, quite frankly, weve been getting our asses handed to us for 20 years or more. And, if something doesnt change
His voice trails off in frustration.
As social media, a socialist-leaning base and each successive debate molds the Democrats 2020 platform, climate change has emerged as the single most important issue, followed by Medicare for All, more government spending, free college, gun confiscation, reparations for the descendants of slaves, and banning fossil fuels and the jobs they create.

They Abandoned them more than 2 decades ago... just kept telling them they didn’t...
Yeah, they have nothing to fear, its a long done deal.
Fear? No, they dont fear. They know and have abandoned the democrat party.
I remember seeing a county map of Indiana in the 2016 election. I think there was a little blue around Indianoplace!
The DNC made a conscious decision to abandon white men as a voting group back in the early 90’s.
Hmmm, let’s see, who was in charge of the Democrat Party then?..............................................
The Democrats are there to benefit:
1) Themselves
2) Non-citizens
3) Spotted Owls
Union guys who are US citizens don’t matter.
Trump, on the other hand, is working for all US citizens.
It’s real. They don’t care about you or anyone else. They have done nothing to help any Americans since January. Time to get them all out.
The GOP is no different than the democrats in DC...they are there to make themselves rich..
Trump should send all spending back to the states..get rid of the money and it will die
Thats because they have. Its about time Midwesterners especially woke up and realized it. A lot did in 2016 - finally.
Nobody else.
[We need candidates to actually step up and do more than lip service, do something to help change some of the laws that are anti-worker]
shaking my head... What the heck do you think Trump has been doing?
Brainwashed Idiots. Notice he used the term “worker” LOL.
There are lots of things to dislike about the Democrats. Considering what the DNC is, who they are, them wanting to help you in any way would be one of them. This is because there is NOTHING remaining of the old extreme Left that’s extreme to them anymore.
Far better to be utterly abandoned by them, even hated by them, because what they will do to “help” will only lead to more dependence on them, by design, and ultimately to suffering as the society and economy collapses should they ever get they way.
the Democrats 2020 platform:
climate change - lies based on fake or exaggerated date
Medicare for All - lies based on gross underestimates of cost
more government spending - completely unsustainable, but economic collapse is the goal
free college - lies to trigger more unsustainable spending
gun confiscation - lies to institute a policy that is both unconstitutional and a violation of God’s laws
reparations for the descendants of slaves - lies to support complete nonsense creating debt
banning fossil fuels - based on the global warming lies.
Truth has no connection to any democrat priority. That cannot be coincidence on so many issues.
#WALKAWAY
They haven’t been paying attention for three decades.
Because the only people who “work” are Labor Union Members, or something...
Got it.
Lowest Unemployment Rate in 50 Years. Lowest Unemployment Rate for Blacks and Latinos EVER. Yeah, that Trump guy is bad news.
