      Because the government continued to work to get the rail workers what they wanted, but shitting down the economy would have hurt everyone, at a time when everyone was already hurting financially.

      Context matters, try to pay attention to all of it.

        Rail workers did not get what they wanted, you are parroting shitlib lies. Anyone advocating to save capitalism at the expanse of the working class is a class traitor

          No one is advocating “saving capitalism” stop being so overly dramatic. You realize that after several years of already being tapped out financially, causing more financial hardship for most of the rest of the working class doesn’t help anyone, right?

          No, you clearly can’t grasp that simple concept. Fucking the entire working class to help get a few extra sick days for a few dozen working class - when you can continue negotiating that without the economic cataclysm - is idiotic.

      I try not to let perfect be the enemy of good. She might not always be right. She might have done some political background dealing that we aren’t privy to. People will always compromise a little in politics. Try to understand that when you are looking for teammates.

        You’re implying she’s at least been “good.” She has not.

        Don’t ever compromise with “not nearly good enough.”

      AOC is a liberal that coopts ledt aesthetics. She did a very normal liberal thing, which is to claim organized lavor cred and alignment and then undermine labor materially.
