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?

    Believe it or not, actual progressives oppose fascism.

    Moderates do too and they’ve been controlling the party for decades. What’s your opinion on how well they’ve done?

      I have yet to see a fascist emerge as a Democratic candidate, so at least tolerably well.

      Want to remind me how throwing a bitch-fit over someone not being left-enough worked out in 2016? Oh, right, the suffering of minorities and labor under the Trump administration don’t matter to you, much less the erosion of democracy in this country. Mea culpa, I forgot purity tests are the only thing that matters.

        Well I mean, they lost to a fascist candidate who gained support and ran against one of their best candidates. Surely that counts against them right?

          Why would the behavior of Republicans who lost the popular vote count against Democrats?

          Oh, right, because you’ll do anything to try to make your own fascist apologia seem less repulsive. Both sides!

            I asked you how well moderates were “opposing” fascism. I admit I was using the term “opposing” synonymously with “fighting”. If you intended that term be used some other way let me know.

            Anyway, if they’re fighting fascists and losing that means the fight isn’t going well right?

              If, when you see a fight against fascism not ‘going well’ (your words, I emphasize, not mine), why is your first instinct “Well, if they don’t pander to me, I’ll just sit this one out and let fascists win”?

              Oh, right. Because you are a fascist playing concern troll. :)

              We’re done here.

                That wasn’t an answer to my question.

                We’re done here.

                Thank goodness. :)
