Comment on US Elections question: Bernie Sanders said that the Democrats abandoned the working class, and the working class abandoned them. How is this true?

Uh huh. So you do your “homework” and call out that Biden forced the workers to take 1 day of sick leave instead of the 7 that they wanted (at that stage in the negotiations).

I present evidence that it was downgraded from 7 to 1 in the Senate because Republicans rejected 7.

I then present evidence that Biden’s administration leaned on the railroad companies until they in fact gave the majority of railworkers 7 sick days. With quotes on the Union heads attributing those gains to the Biden administration.

And then suddenly 7 days isn’t good enough to call that a “win” in your opinions.

And I’m the hypocrite.
