Scientific American can distinguish between a pro-science and anti-science candidate. Meanwhile, the Teamsters union can’t distinguish between a pro-labour and anti-labour candidate

Taylor Swift endorsement . . . Scientific American endorsement . . .

:thinking:

I wonder which will have more influence? :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Hey, whatever works we’ll take it!!!

Read the whole article, it makes it pretty plain what the right choice is.

One of only two magazines I subscribed to over my lifetime. Almost makes me want to renew…

Seen somewhere on Xitter (I won’t be able to find it again):

“The Teamsters are so dumb they cross their own picket lines.”

Well, I’m sure that’ll really make the difference with voters who are so ill-informed they’re still undecided, but who also read Scientific American. If there are any such people.

Gotta be a really small subset. Kind of my original point.

Undecided Swifties is likely a LOT bigger set than undecided SciAm readers.

So more points to Taylor?

Again, I’ll give ALL the points to ANYBODY who’s for the light and not the dark.

Makes me wonder how the Teamster’s pro-racism and anti-racism rank and file get anything done. Then there are the misogynists.

If Assistant Professor Troy Magney hasn’t been convinced to vote for Harris by now then he probably never will be.

Well, the national org. A lot of local chapters seem to be doing just fine

Yay, Harris broke the mid-tier paywall Lay Science glass! It’s not like getting endorsement from Nature Synthesis (not part of the 52 journals covered by a Nature+ sub) but there’ll be the editorial juicing from Iran and Russia to…develop or not.

Yeah the Teamsters can get a more agreeable hair oil at the top there too.

On another site, I saw someone saying he asked about the lack of endorsement from a lawyer he knows that works a lot with the Teamsters. The lawyer’s take was that it’s probably not because of racism, but almost certainly because of sexism.

Why do I get the feeling that Teamsters are more likely to admit to being sexist than racist.
