    It’s great that you picked the one option where Democrats were trying to help thos railroad workers but Republicans refused. Then when Democrats have to continue the literal working infrastructure of the United States, they get the blame for it… Rather than the company owners and Republicans lmfao. Democrats literally didn’t not have enough votes on their own.

    Sounds like Fox News is working to me. Because 90% of Lemmy does nothing but peddle it lol.

      How about the public option with the ACA? The Democrats used their super majority to pass a Republican crafted bill that simply enshrined the shitty status quo into law, even going so far as to fine you if you didn’t participate in said system. We still pay the highest per capita amount for healthcare in the entire world. What did we really get out of that? The end of “pre-existing conditions” and the option to purchase the same expensive, bare-bones insurance coverage from someone besides your employer?

      The railroad workers didn’t need the “help” of Democrats anymore than the UAW did. They were preparing to strike and would have gotten their demands.

      Democrats literally didn’t not have enough votes on their own.

      THEN THEY SHOULD HAVE STAYED THE FUCK OUT OF IT.

      Do not block strikes. End of story.

      You need to pull your head out of your ass if you think there are zero people who voted for Biden in the 2020 general election and will refuse to vote for him in 2024 over this. The rail workers contract expires at the end of this year. The next president will be faced with the same choice. If Biden believes Trump to be the biggest threat we face then promising to veto any attempts to force a contract on the workers is a bargain.

      Make a fucking choice. You want to save Democracy? Here you go. Here’s the offer. Reject the offer and we’ll vote 3rd party. Stop thinking you can get us to vote for Biden by any other means.

        The cognitive dissonance or prop washing is tangible lol.

        If you sound like a Fox News segment after typing something out, maybe rethink the reality of what you’re trying to say vs what you’re actually saying. Hell, you even agreed with what I said in ad many words lol.

          Find me a Fox News article stating the rail strike should not have been blocked. I’ll wait.

          EDIT: Five hours later and no article. Odd. It’s almost like people defending blocking the rail strike sound like Fox News watchers. Interesting.
