He's the most pro-union President in my lifetime. Which is to say he's not aggressively sabotaging and dismantling every union group his national police agencies can get their hooks into.
This is the gold standard for a modern Democratic President. A guy who won't show up with a crowbar and knee-cap you as you're trying to move 40 years of accumulated economic baggage.
....
I could believe you're under 24 and missed Bill, but you weren't born till 2016 and missed Obama too?
Ask the AFL-CIO how they feel about Clinton continuing NAFTA after explicitly campaigning against it.
Deindustrialization of the Midwest obliterated manufacturing. Telecom consolidation under the 1996 act also wrecked unionization in both the industrial and mass media sectors.
Why did you skip Obama and go straight to Bill?
How is Biden more pro-union than Obama?
Tom Perez sucked ass and I shouldn't need to spell that out.
But...

Biden promoted him?
So how does that make Biden better if he's why you didn't like Obama?
Good point. Biden also very disappointing
So you had no reason to say:
Because it sounds like there wasn't a reason, but I'm not sure why it took so many comments to get here.
I had not realized Biden had reappointed Perez to his office.
You clearly knew something about Biden's record on labor policy that I didn't.
Happy to help.
If you want to help Biden. Drag him so far to the left that he joins his voter base
I'll pass your advice on to the student protesters at Columbia.
Why would they need it?
They're doing a shit ton more than I am to draw attention
Not a lot else to do in NYPD lockup.
The NY Dem political scene does not seem to be bending in their direction. Police raided a seder while local media has accused the attendees of being anti-Semitic. Seems they're moving backwards.
...
I thought it was clear I meant the protestors knew, because they obviously get it.
I don't know how you thought I meant NY neoliberals in office were in any way what the voter base works
