Interesting that the strawpolls at the meetings hours one way while the phone survey goes another. Seems like there's a correlation between how active the members are and their likelihood to vote Republican

Maybe I'm too woke but I'm pretty sure it's because Harris is black, Indian, and a women that the results flipped so hard

Union members aren't all far left on average or anything. Cops have and support their unions

Joining a union directly and clearly improves their own situation. Can the said be said for having a black, indian women be president for the white and/or male union members?

Are you confident there is a complete insignificant number of teamster members that have no racial biases at all? And that they all believe women as just as capable leaders?

I strongly suspect that a very high percentage of the members that would flip when their candidate turns out to be a woman and/or minority were already solidly in the Trump camp even when Biden was running. I really do not believe that 40% of the teamsters currently in favor of Trump preferred another option before the democratic candidate was changed to a minority woman.

Not identical, but I don't think I've encountered anyone IRL who thinks more highly of Biden than of Obama without loathing Biden.

Fair enough, but the perception of black women is a far fall down from black men in America tbh
