He makes a great point, endorsing Biden isn’t going to do anything to win their contract battles. The liberal DC blob has gotten so used to union leadership being adjuncts to the Democrat machine that when they steadfastly put union members first, the libs go ballistic.
That’s basically the argument I make to normies when I explain why I don’t vote for the Dems. They take the left (I mean the broader “left”) for granted, so just handing over our votes and demanding nothing return means you get nothing. And we’re at the point now that the Dems aren’t even throwing the most basic of bones to the left.
Breaking up the railroad strike has been my go-to example. Demanding that Dems support unions other than when it’s convenient for them (and unobtrusive to capital) is the most basic demand the left can make, and it’s one that I’ve found that regular ass libs I know irl have a hard time arguing against.
They'll bend over backwards to compromise with republicans but they won't bend a finger to compromise with us. Why should I care if their political project fails?
Wow, who would have thought that shutting down the railroad unions would cause some union leaders to be mad at you.
AOC's instantaneous endorsement of Biden is far from the worst thing she's done, but it might be the most pathetic.
AOC is just endorsing whoever the unions wanted her to endorse, man. You some sort of anti-union scab?
Power dynamics!
what are you talking about AOC is the coolest she said eat the rich! 
"Wait, you mean folding to right-wing fascists is making the left lose confidence in us?!"
The unions have turned against Joe Biden, which means they must be in favor of Trump.
We need to destroy them immediately. 
Dont you know that unions are inherently right wing? 
Well of course that's right. The first word in the USSR anthem was "union", and the USSR was authoritarian, in other words right wing. QED.
The media totally thinks that working class people owe some sort fealty to politicians when they do the most basic theater. The big media bust so hard over theater not substance.
i don't know whether or not the media actually thinks that, but I do know that it is their job to say it.
Dude’s name is Sinn Féin 
his name is Shawn Fain, with a name like that youre probably gonna start to do some cool shit 
This makes Biden look like a bullet-dodging superhero. 
look mr. dubois, I've got him eating out of the palm of my hand!
Listen, Jack. Mr. Evrart is helping me find... you know... the thing!
mr. evrart is helping me find my lost doohickey
Margaret brenner looked so pissed it had to be forced. It looks like she was told to look angry while asking that hard hitting dull whiffle ball question.
I used to see her all the time on bloomberg concern trolling CEOs during the financial crisis about their bailouts. Glad she's staying busy defending capitalists on face the nation.
Anchor: seems disdainful in their questioning
Title: media FLIPS THEIR FUCKING SHIT
Yeah ok good
Democrats continue being anti-worker and the usual office working libs will argue that the tradies are too dumb/problematic to understand the nuances of Biden.
