Let’s be honest: most modern liberals love to say they support workers they’ll tweet “Solidarity!” with a Starbucks cup in hand, but when it comes to actual labor muscle? They flinch. That’s why Sean O’Brien, President of the Teamsters, makes them so uncomfortable. He’s not a hashtag. He’s the real deal tough, old-school, unapologetic, and focused on results, not rhetoric. O’Brien doesn’t play the progressive influencer game. He doesn’t need to. While liberal elites are busy holding panels on “inclusive equity frameworks,” he’s out there securing actual pay raises for hundreds of thousands of working Americans. UPS drivers didn’t get a better deal because of think pieces they got it because O’Brien and the Teamsters stared down a trillion-dollar corporation and meant it. And no, he’s not here to carry water for any political party. He’s called out Democrats when they try to hijack labor for campaign optics. He’s blasted Republicans when they try to bust unions behind closed doors. That’s how grown-ups operate: results over vibes, accountability over pandering.So while cable news panels argue over “messaging” and online activists measure each other’s virtue levels, Sean O’Brien’s out here doing the one thing that still actually matters: delivering for the working class. Liberals could learn a thing or two but they’d have to log off first.
