in the english language sentence structure when you state a subject "right wingers" pronouns following that subject in that same sentence apply to that subject. such as the bolded one in which "all" in the context of donor applies to "right wingers".
or at least that's what i meant. railways donate to GOP representatives, and that's a direct motivation. but the fact that striking down the railroad strike was bipartisan makes the distinction moot to me. i dont care why people from AOC to Bernie to Biden did what they did, what they did was a massive fucking mistake and beholden to capitalist interests.
in AOC's case tho, still would.
thanks for the helpful explanation. what does "same" mean though? when i put that super rare word in a translator, the german version means that one equals the other. so if you use it in a sentence prior to describing the behaviour of a group, it would equate their actions to those of a previously mentioned group for example.
bernie voted against the agreement btw, as did tlaib.
and while for rail workers it might indeed be moot to distinguish who at least put up a fight on their behalf, when the outcome is bad, someone who discusses politics should probably apply a bit more nuance if they don't want to come across as trying to simply bothsides a complex issue. i mean, there are plenty of dems who DO line their pockets with railway company donations, but not all of them do.
again, i agree it was a disappointing vote from AOC in particular, but it'd be silly to suggest that means she simply doesn't care about worker rights any more, or never did. she still has a predominantly positive track record (to which this has to be added as a big negative though) overall.
just to spare your pearls: i acknowledge that you did not explicitly say she doesn't, but the implication of specifically mentioning her and lumping her in with corporate puppets like biden and other conservatives is pretty clear.
would too, but not go out of my way to please her now, iykwim. actions have consequences...
