    The “lesser evil” won in 2020. We didn’t move back to the left.

      Are there more examples of this happening? One event isn’t a very good sample size… “IT DIDN’T WORK GUYS, SEE?!”, I mean, sure… But there are more circumstances and variables and conditions to an election lol.

        How many times do you want to move to the right and not back to the left? How many more times will it take to satisfy you?

        Strikebreaking and photo ops didn’t strengthen shit.

        forgiving student loans

        Was the only bright spot in his presidency.

        Now how was supporting a genocide “left?” I mean, it may be to your left. Maybe you want active participation?

          Yeah, this one was wild. There was a massive strike, people thought the rail workers were finally gonna get good things, but Biden told everyone to fuck off back to work, and it turned out he negotiated some benefits in private, and everybody is praising him for this gift to workers. Completely ignoring how he pulverized the bargaining power of unions. The country must keep going, you can’t freeze everything, don’t you know!

          Unions are strong when they can impose themselves in the negotiations. Biden going over their head only conveys the message that the president is the dad and nothing is done if he doesn’t give his blessings. He showed that unions aren’t allowed to speak for themselves, and then he gave them some crumbs to make them shut the fuck up. But hey, things are better than they ever were! Most pro-union president ever.

          Are you chronically hard of thinking? The US approach to Israel isn’t a Democrat thing, and the Biden administration did more to restrict sales than most. But keep banging that drum mate
