This will be an epic fight to keep unions relevant, they need to spend to win, not waste money on Dinos' who are too lazy to raise their own funds.

We should just stop it and let it ride? The Unions don't have to spend that much. I think our minds are set for the way to go rather for or against and no amount of advertising will change it. They should save their money and help with getting folks their ID's and GOTV when it's time. But spending money on advertising would be a waste.
