Biden has done a LOT more than just fucking up turbo tax's should-be criminal racket.

First US president to join the union workers ON THE PICKET LINE In many ways we have handled this world-wide inflation shit better than any other in the G7 nations Unemployment numbers are at record lows, .01 lower than any other time in the past 10 years at one point in january and april of last year and since then has only risen around 0.3-4 points

I could go on and on, but instead, others have already done so for me:

I CAN'T FUCKING BELIEVE how fucking often I hear this goddamn BULLSHIT about how Biden is simply "not trump" and hasn't done much, like holy fucking Christ.

If ANYTHING, Biden should be over-commended given that he accomplished all of this with THE MOST CHAOTIC AND DO-NOTHING congress EVER.

How is breaking the railroad steike being pro union?

Or pushing legislation explicitly meant for busting up leftist orgs by stripping them of nonprofit status?

I remember the way I felt when the railroad strike first ended- it was a smack in the face to the railroad union. He sided against the protesters and ended the protest without giving them what they wanted- sick time off. I thought "dang, Biden is just another in a long line of anti-labor presidents".

That was big news posted loud and everywhere.

And then only a few months later, and with little fanfare, The Biden administration pressured rail companies to give that sick leave.

Biden (actually Pete Buttigeig) prioritized preventing an immediate logistics crisis over workering conditions, but he didn't just let it slide off his table. Now we don't have a logistics crisis and the railroad union has more sick leave. Absolute win.
