Ignoring “Medicare for all”, student loan debt, “uncommitted” and student voice for peace contingents, in addition to ignoring ongoing labor struggles like the Amazon union, Starbucks union, UPS contract negotiations, the worst resolution to the “railroad strike”, weak price gouging proposals to protect consumers.
The fact they keep insisting that the previous 4 years has been the greatest for labor movements in the last century, and that Biden is historically the most Union friendly president makes me feel some type of way.
I think he cleared the very low bar of being better for unions than Obama, Clinton, or Carter, despite literally breaking a rail strike. So that’s the best in over 50 years. I have found myself wondering if I might not be a communist if he had gotten elected in 2008 instead of Obama because he genuinely seemed more open to making progressives happy at first. Then the progressive stuff expired and he reimposed austerity on his own economic achievements while big corporations raked in profits
