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?

    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.

      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.

      This is the same stupid bullshit around petty grievance that allowed Trump to beat Hillary.

      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.

      • Is it a big-tent party of unity, or not?
      • Does my voice matter, or not?
      • Do you care about my voice, or not?
      • If progressive/left wing voters are such a minority as to not be worth considering, then why get so twisted if they vote third party or sit it out?

      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.
