If you want to just talk about today, then it's largely a moot point either way because significant, widespread mob political connections are a thing of the past. However, the union rackets, while certainly diminished, are not dead. Especially in New York. I could give you a list as long as your leg of labor racketeering cases involving the NY families alone from 2000 to the present. And it's no secret that New York is a Democrat town and unions are largely tied to them. But of course, you're likely not aware of most of that stuff because you clearly don't do your own research. Nor would you care because your entire motive in this thread has been to just defend Democrats. Seriously, go drool over that Hillary '16 poster above your bed because you contribute nothing to this thread.
