> I think it's important to note here that "bad for management" doesn't necessarily mean "good for employees". It is possible that unions are bad for both

It's become clear in the past few years that a lot of people care less about winning than they do about their "enemies" losing. To them, it doesn't matter if you hurt yourself, as long as you hurt the people who disagree with you as well.



"It's become clear", could you please follow up with some examples so that what you are saying become more clear?


It’s how politics in the US currently work. Liberals vote for “anything not conservative” and conservatives vote for “anything not liberal”.

Most of the people I know that voted for Trump don’t even like him. It was just more important to keep Clinton out of office. Most of the people I know that voted for Clinton didn’t even like her, but she wasn’t Trump so she got the vote.


In a system dominated by two parties the only voting choice you have that is worth anything at all is the less-detested one


Well, people voting for republican party are a good example... When you observe their policies, always intended to help corporate interests, you understand their voters are more interested in pissing of black people and the poors than improve their own condition.


Not exactly a recent development, though.


What are you referring to?
