Unions may have started from the socialist movement, but insisting they're communist in nature is just denying reality. Social liberalism also split from democratic socialism, and is an explicitly capitalist ideology. Genetic arguments are almost always shit, and I challenge you to walk up to the average union worker and ask them if they're a communist.
Communist movement, I do not think it was a socialist movement.
I think most or all of them were not communist, just the leadership or the organizer that gets them together.
Communists were a part of union culture since the bigging, the Red Scare removed most of them, then the unions became less effective.
This is to the best of my knowledge.
Unions became less effective when union rights were attacked by Republicans, manufacturing declined in relative employment, and workers were more exposed to international competition.
The duopoly is the problem, once you understand why, then we can start fights the real battle: working class vs wealthy class

I'll vote for whoever the strongest opponent to the Republican is. You want to make that a third party candidate, fine, but from what I've seen, the third parties are jokes.
Really good options, you are not looking hard enough.
Alright. Biden versus Trump, what's my third option
That's for me to know, and for you to find out!
Good luck on the search!
So, there isn't one. Gotcha
If that is what you want to keep thinking, I will not stop you.
Have a great day!
