I think this would mean more if he actually stood up for the railway workers during their strike.

Did he though? His Congress pushed through a bill with a smaller compensation package, 1(one) day of sick time, no removal of advance notice for sick time, none of the OT protections, and no acknowledgement of safety concerns.

- Fuck you for assuming I'm any kind of liberal. Especially fuck you for insinuating I'm a Republican.
- Regardless of the RLA holding a gun to their Union's head, they did vote to approve the Senate's contract. I'm personally very dissatisfied with the agreement, but ultimately, their union voted to ratify the agreement. As NPR notes, the deal falls significantly short of the goals rail workers were fighting for. They decided to accept it, in the face of a repeat of PATCO.

I didn’t say anything about your personal politics - I have far too little to go off to make that kind of claim.
You accused them of listening to Hannity, so uh
Heidisjjwnsnsjwk
He did. Stop listening to hannity.
This necessarily implies anyone who disagrees listens to Hannity.

No, I'm mad that you smeared everyone who disagrees with you. It was a "joke" but one where we are supposed to be the punchline.
And then you started whining about civility.
Far less than they asked for, and did nothing towards meeting their other major demands such as Precision Scheduled Railroading.
If Biden was incapable or unwilling to force the rail companies to give better terms, he should have stayed out of it.
Then perhaps they shouldn't have accepted it and striked as planned? The fact that it wasn't "enough" for the workers isn't on the POTUS and doesn't negate his actions.
Launching an illegal strike is far different from launching a legally protected strike. They'd have to accept the possibility that everyone loses their jobs and some people might even get taken to court. Things just aren't that bad yet.
Biden: "You should get paid more."
Trump: indicted for 91 crimes and found liable for decades of tax fraud
Michigan Republicans: ¯\(ツ)/¯
“Both sides are the same!”
They are when it comes to wages.
The federal minimum wage has been 7 bucks for fifteen years. Both sides have had a total majority with the presidency in that time frame.
Literally the same.

I’m sorry guaranteeing healthcare for tens of millions of Americans with the 2 years they had government control wasn’t enough for you.
... is it enough for you?
You're moving the goalpost. Is it enough? No. But there's one party where it happened and another party that literally did everything they could against it. Both parties are definitely not the same.
I don't think both parties are the same. I think they're both bad and we're fucked no matter who wins, but I can admit America will collapse slower under Democrats. I guess that's preferable.
I'm still voting for Cornell West. Nyaa nyaa~
