Today's Supreme Court ruling in Janus is a body blow to the unions (and thus the Democrats). Because without seas of union cash and "volunteers", the Democrat ground organization shrivels like a raisin.
For reference: when Scott Walker did this to the obscene teachers union in Wisconsin, more than half the union quit in the first year.
