Again UFT Solidarity has put its proverbial foot in its proverbial mouth when due to some inane insecurity it decided to make itself look big when in essence it was just no more than paper tiger.
As many remember there was a big Bernie Sanders kickoff event across this fine country of ours several weeks ago. People gathered around TV sets, radios, computers to join in support of Bernie Sanders.
Like a peacock so desperate to show off what it has the so called "Social Media Committee" of UFT Solidarity shared this on Facebook;
While we praise UFT Solidarity for sticking its finger into the wind and having that kickoff event we must remind UFT Solidarity that it is incorrect in several ways.
1. That other "socialist" caucus did have Bernie Kickoff, and 2) It kicked ass! Let's take a look see.
Look at all the TV's. Look at all the happy faces. Look at the bar. Look at the person in the foreground with notes. This looks cool.
Now let's have a look at the UFT Solidarity Bernie Kickoff )Full disclosure. Rush bassist, lead singer and other "socialist" caucus supporter Geddy Lee, has been kind enough to allow us here at SBSB to use his face to to hide the identities, of the few at the UFT Solidarity Kickoff.).
See the difference?
But wait! What is a Bernie Kickoff without media coverage? Surely, the "Social Media Committee" of UFT Solidarity put out a press release and the New York media was knocking down the door.
Sadly, no. All they had was someone with a camera phone.
On the other hand, the other "socialist" caucus had this.
"A few hundred people gathered at a downtown bar in New York City on 4th Avenue in what was hailed as one of the largest gatherings. Prior to Sanders' speech the crowd shouted out the reasons they were supporting Sanders, citing paid family leave, free college and overturning Citizens United."Along with banner Mindy herself created;
The Crack Team suggests that there be a shake up in the "Social Media Committee" of UFT Solidarity post haste. God forbid UFT Solidarity starts losing credibility.
UFT Solidarity sucks.
ReplyDeleteKind of funny they make all this noise about how they want to align with other causes but make snide cracks about them. Anyone who thinks that's the way to make alliances is unqualified to run a union.
ReplyDeleteYes. It is funny. Especially when there is practically an email a day apparently now demanding a joint slate.

ReplyDeleteMindy Rosier is probably one of the few sincere, hardworking activists fighting to make our country a better place. Thank you for juxtaposing what a true activists does against the antics of some insincere self-serving UFT members. Kudos to you Peter and of course to Mindy!
ReplyDeleteSince when is MORE socialist? Plenty of non socialists in MORE.
ReplyDeleteOnce a day? Probably 5 times a day - pleading to be let in to MORE and ICE - please, sir, can I have some more porridge?
ReplyDeleteBernie Sanders type socialist - which is a social democrat - which many people in this nation are - sort of Scandinavia types - funny the crowds that socialist is drawing. Maybe MORE should declare itself a socialist party.
ReplyDeleteDid I spot a bald head in the crowd at the More kick off? Gosh could it be the manager of the 5 star restaurant that was holding the event?
ReplyDeleteOr Lex Luthor?
ReplyDeleteThe snacks here had a smooth taste with a bit of cheese and lime juice. To start, we got pork rinds there; they were really flavorful with a spicy kick and smooth taste. Plus, it was a large fresh bag too, everything at the best sports bar nyc is worth the price.
