Interesting. I’ve heard talk that the liberal view is that Trump wants teachers to die in schools as they get the virus. Naturally Trump is the bad guy who doesn’t care if teachers get the virus.
I’ve heard other chatter teachers unions have other demands, such as defunding police, and taking police out of schools where officers are in schools, before they will go back to the classroom.
And there’s also been talk, that teachers won’t go back we have that elusive vaccine available.
Sounds like their political calculus is changing.
I think the media has panicked a lot of teachers. They seem to think that if they go back into the classroom, they will surely die. This therefore becomes a Union issue because the teachers want to be protected and basically want to insist on teaching remotely while schools remain closed.
Or feminist moms are screaming at the Democrats that they will never have a chance to make Vice President if they don't have a place to dump the annoying kids their mothers-in-law forced them to have during work hours. :)
Their political calculus was badly wrong. Any person capable of objective thought and observation can see that the polling numbers for them were brutal.
I take all polls with a grain of salt, but recently we have seen polls where 4 out of 5 people oppose the democrat stance on schools and police issues. Schumer is not dumb. He can read the same polls thus the reversal in position.
They have deluded themselves to the point where they believe the fringe of their party is the mainstream of their party. Ironically, the focus on big liberal cities and the dysfunction and draconian policies is providing the mushy middle with a real picture of where the democrats want to take the country and I think more people are refusing.
I was hoping that they would continue to double down on dumb for another month or two.
