Biden blocked the railroad strike in 2022, which was asking for sick days and improved working conditions for rail operators

Coincidentally, that was shortly followed up by the East Palestine train derailment a month and a half later, caused by a mechanical failure due to safety standards being ignored in favor of maximum throughput

Additionally, East Palestine still has not been cleaned up properly. Residents are dealing with insane medical conditions because their homes have been poisoned and their government has abandoned them.
More fossil fuel has been extracted during biden's administration than any other time in this country's history

550 anti-trans bills have been proposed or passed across the country since 2020. Mr president has done nothing to stop that flow and protect trans people.

This feels like a troll account for some reason. Stirring the pot pretty disingenuously across the board.
The railroad workers got what they wanted because the admin followed up. So he averted a rail strike and got them their concessions.
The east Palestine disaster isn't this admins fault. It's anl negligent rail companies fault combined with deregulation from previous Congresses and the previous administration. Not to mention both previous Congress and admin sat on an infrastructure spending packages that could have addressed antiquated rail infrastructure. Ironically, Biden managed to pass the biggest infrastructure package in American history (with a divided Congress). With clean energy and resiliency built it. And if I recall correctly FEMA and Co are still monitoring and supporting the clean up.
Your fossil fuel is thing is BS because of course its growing--we've done nothing, our CONGRESS has done nothing to curtail it. The previous admin opened the flood gates on regulations as well. Don't lay that at the feet of this admin. That's absolute horse shit. The aforementioned infrastructure bill included the most investment in green energy ever.
And the anti trans shit is Bidens fault how? He signed the respect marriage act, he reversed the ban for trans service members, and strengthen some of the protections against discrimination re housing and healthcare.
You want lord emperor Biden to go send mobs after statehouses and local governments?? That's not how Any of this works and you know it.
If you didn't know better, you'd swear there is an organized tankie effort to infiltrate blahaj zone.
Tell me you only read news headlines without telling me you only read the headlines.
