For sure. Biden broke the railroad workers strike and was a “pro-labor” president. If a strike doesn’t make business sweat, labor has no cards.

I don’t agree with what Joe Biden did. You have to keep in mind the country he is running. Americans are very hostile to unions. A massive strike railroad strike would have ENRAGED your average american.
But overall, he was a very pro-union President.

His administration bailed out union pension plans:

He also banned non-compete clauses:

The non-compete ban was unfortunately destroyed by Ada Brown, a Texas Judge appointed by Trump

I don’t give a shit about that. He lost his pro union status because of the railroad escapade. That is what the country needed to push the revolution it deserved and he squashed it and let corporate America win and now we have what we have. Fuck Joe Biden

Well yeah, if your average person doesn’t feel the sting when your labor is absent, how else can you guarantee majority support? To paraphrase a wise man, when you forget that things need to be built you are at risk of inheriting a system you rely on without gratitude.

Now tell us how much Biden also loved Palestinians.

His policy toward Israel was a disaster.

Biden only ever cared about his ego and legacy.
