The rail union contract expires at the end of this year meaning the rail union workers can strike again sometime in 2025. Whoever wins the 2024 general election and becomes president will immediately have to deal with that possibility. If Biden is serious about how Trump is the biggest threat we face then promising to veto any attempts to force another contract onto the rail unions is a bargain.
Your move Joe. Are you willing to compromise with leftists or do you want to go down in history as the second establishment Democrat who lost to Donald Trump?
"Biden isn't going to improve things so I'm going to actively make things worse for everyone, myself included."
I am not OP: If you can't do shit for your constituents then that's how things will fall into place.
Sometimes you gotta threaten to drag a stubborn person off the cliff along with you so they will not constantly push you towards the edge.
And if you could do that without enabling the deterioration of civil rights for women, ethnic minorities, and LGBTQIA people that'd be great, thanks.
I mean, I'm not American so I don't really have to care but still. There's a time and place for protest votes, and this election isn't it. Sure, Biden may not be perfect, but Trump literally said that he'd (try to, but considering the current supreme court...) be a dictator.
Every presidential election since 1992, the DNC have warned about it being "the most important election ever", one that the country can't afford for them to lose. It'll never be time.
Guess what else hasn't changed since 1992?
Guess what HAS changed since 1992?
EVERYTHING FUCKING ELSE!
We don't have the opportunity. People who voted for Joe Biden in the 2020 primaries made sure of that. One of the ways you could have helped avoid this situation was by shaming people for even considering voting for him in the primaries. There were much better options.
I'll forgive you since you're not American but this is a deliberate strategy by the DNC and establishment democrats. They don't want to compromise with leftists and they're fine losing to fascists. It's hard for people to accept but the reality is this: Biden is evil too.
You are why the right wins. You hold grudges against your own party.
When Trump wins, it will be your fault not whatever reason you make up. You are responsible.
This is the same stupid bullshit around petty grievance that allowed Trump to beat Hillary.
If the DNC wanted left coalitions or big-tent unity, they’d end FPTP elections and kill superdelegates. They can do both, but won't try either. Bully coalition wings into unity every two years, then back to business as usual 😎
Just quoting Milk-Sheik from above here. If they need leftists votes, then fucking earn them. Otherwise, shut the fuck up.
It's a party for adults, not childish greviances over subject matters you do not comprehend. Voting against the democrats because they don't make a pointed statement about some specific union that you aren't even a part of is exactly that.
Grow up. The world is bigger than you. Progress requires sacrifice.
If you want to be a self involved twat, there is already a party for that. They are voting for Trump.
Stop pretending you're a progressive if you aren't voting for the only party that pushes for progress.
Alright then get all the adults together and elect Biden on your own. Ignore us children. What's the problem?
What sacrifice did people make voting for Biden in the 2020 primaries?
No one under 50 wanted to vote for an old man but we did it anyway because that's politics.
Reading your comment history it is quite clear you're here just to push this specific anti-democrat message of yours.
There is a non-zero chance you are a sock puppet account paid to push uncertainty and doubt.
Have fun on the front lines of world war three when Trump gets elected. The Russian meat machine will come for you.
So you want people under 50 to sacrifice for the people who voted for Biden in the primaries.
No. I refuse. Go scream at the people who voted for Biden in the primaries about sacrifice.
It's the internet buddy. That's true of everybody.
"Democracy Bad" - Average internet 'leftist' who is Totally Sincere You Guys
I won't vote for someone who's going to pass legislation to block rail unions from striking in 2025. I know Trump will. I know Biden will unless he promises otherwise.
Yes. It is. So what do you have to say about people who voted for Biden in the 2020 primaries? Did they think we were bluffing twice? Are they brain dead?
Seriously, I can not fathom why people want to try so hard to discourage a third party vote. Like if there were a year for say a Perot or Nader to shine it would be now because literally everyone hates both sides. It feels like these other posters can’t grasp that “enemy of my enemy is my friend” only runs so far especially when the best your “friend” can ever do is indifference and platitudes.
Or outright deliberate sabotage in the case of the rail strike. It was a rare situation where doing nothing would have been celebrated.
"After Trump, our turn!"
Fucking morons.
Actually it was "After Obama, our turn!"
