Comment on Happy Pride! š³ļøāš
Thunderbird4@lemmy.world āØ6ā© āØmonthsā© agoAnd Obama broke the legal Occupy Wall Street and killed civilians in Yemen with drone strikes. So he takes the title instead? āMost progressiveā is a comparative qualification, and he does not need to BE a progressive to take the title.
While I agree that the strike shouldnāt have been broken and that the rail workers should have the right to stop as much work as they control in order to make their demands heard, Biden also became the first president to walk a picket line during that strike and ultimately got the rail workers a deal that their unions all were reportedly happy with. He may not be everything you want, but he IS the most pro-union president of my lifetime. Again, not a high bar to clear. Recognize progress when it happens, even if itās not your dream come true.
Furthermore, with all the terrifying examples of actual rising fascism that surround us right now, donāt muddy the waters with BS like that. It just makes you look like a troll.
