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?

I am not OP: If you can’t do shit for your constituents then that’s how things will fall into place.

Sometimes you gotta threaten to drag a stubborn person off the cliff along with you so they will not constantly push you towards the edge.

And if you could do that without enabling the deterioration of civil rights for women, ethnic minorities, and LGBTQIA people that’d be great, thanks.

I mean, I’m not American so I don’t really have to care but still. There’s a time and place for protest votes, and this election isn’t it. Sure, Biden may not be perfect, but Trump literally said that he’d (try to, but considering the current supreme court…) be a dictator.

Every presidential election since 1992, the DNC have warned about it being “the most important election ever”, one that the country can’t afford for them to lose. It’ll never be time.

Guess what else hasn’t changed since 1992?

  • the campaign strategy of the DNC
  • the legislative strategy of the DNC
  • the overall political philosophy of the DNC
  • the relationship between billionaire donors and their corporations and the DNC
  • the relationship between cops and the DNC
  • the attitude and behavior towards the Left of the DNC

Guess what HAS changed since 1992?

EVERYTHING FUCKING ELSE!

We don’t have the opportunity. People who voted for Joe Biden in the 2020 primaries made sure of that. One of the ways you could have helped avoid this situation was by shaming people for even considering voting for him in the primaries. There were much better options.

I’ll forgive you since you’re not American but this is a deliberate strategy by the DNC and establishment democrats. They don’t want to compromise with leftists and they’re fine losing to fascists. It’s hard for people to accept but the reality is this: Biden is evil too.

You are why the right wins. You hold grudges against your own party.

When Trump wins, it will be your fault not whatever reason you make up. You are responsible.

This is the same stupid bullshit around petty grievance that allowed Trump to beat Hillary.
