as the title says, i work for a corporation that donated to vivek. manager.
went to vote today (for amy acton ofc) and this one was especially heartfelt. over the past year ive had to lay off multiple of my employees against my will (due to the big heads in my company wanting more shareholder value), some of them who had just become new parents and had their first child. the jobs that they had were offshored to india and poland.
also worth adding, my company partners with a major tech company that was sued and found liable in 2024 for h-1b abuse and discrimination against american workers and preferential treatment towards employees of south asian descent.
so to the republicans who are worried about american jobs being sent overseas, you will be voting for someone who is receiving donations from corporations that lay off american workers and offshore their jobs and work with companies that abuse the h-1b visa program. let’s also not forget that vivek called american workers “mediocre”.
and to some of us within the democratic party, i encourage you to make this an issue if amy acton wins. at a time when americans are already struggling with the cost of gas, groceries, and utilities under trump, this is not the time to be sending american jobs overseas.
during obamas campaigns when he ran for president twice he ran on cracking down on h-1b visa abuse and offshoring jobs. nowadays it seems to be the very young voters within the democratic party who don’t want to have constructive convos about immigration and offshoring. being mean and nasty to immigrants should not ever be a democratic value but please also remember that american families and jobs matter as well
