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?

    • 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.

      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?

        Progress requires sacrifice.

        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.

            There is a non-zero chance you are a sock puppet account paid to push uncertainty and doubt.

            It’s the internet buddy. That’s true of everybody.
