Just to name a few:
Continued support and funding to Israel with only the most tepid condemnation as people became more aware of their genocide against Palestinians.
busting the railway union which arguably, if their demand had been met, may not have had the disaster in Ohio. A move rivaled only by Regan
Despite being told that we had to fight for “kids in cages” nothing has actually come to fruition on that front
Woah woah. Biden is definitely the getting punched in the face candidate less we remember that Trump will happily send innocent people to jail for calling him names.
He tear gassed a protest to get a photo of him as supreme leader with his upside down borrowed ǝlqı𐐒.
He will happily roll back any regulations and protections and enrich anyone and any country that makes his erection harder.
Trump is absolutely the getting shot option and it’s in the leg and you think it may have nicked an artery.
On Israel, you’re spot on.
The rail union thing…that was a hard one, but ultimately, 3/4 of the unions involved had already approved the deal the government forced. A strike could have cost 750k jobs across the entire economy, and we’d be in full-on recession mode right now.
On immigration… We stopped forcibly removing kids from their families and have been working to reunite the families Trump separated. They’re currently working on reestablishing judicial discretion (which the Trump admin removed) and fired a bunch of the Trump-appointed immigration judges. The system still really sucks, but that’s a legislative issue, not an executive one. At this point, the alternative is talking about immigrants poisoning the blood of our country.
Joe ain’t left-wing, that’s for sure, but he’s the best candidate in the batch at this point (that can win the presidency while we’re locked into a 2 party system).
3/4 of the unions involved had already approved the deal the government forced
Nowhere near 3/4 of the union MEMBERS, though. The ones that had already caved were a lot of smaller unions with much less bargaining power than the bigger ones who were able to hold on until Biden pulled the rug from under them.

Not without corporations doing the actual firing. Like Biden, you’re acting like mass layoffs are just a natural consequence of workers demanding fair pay and decent conditions.
It isn’t. It’s the result of giant corporations CHOOSING to destroy lives to save their equivalent of pocket change that they could easily spare.
Joe ain’t left-wing, that’s for sure
True.
he’s the
bestby far least awful candidate in the batch at this point (that can win the presidency while we’re locked into a 2 party system).
Fixed that for you.
Biden made the best of a bad situation with the railway union issue. He worked pretty hard and without any need for adulation behind the scenes to continue resolving the strikers needs.
Allowing the railways to collapse would have been financially devastating.
If the economy can be destroyed by a private business going under, then it needs to be nationalized.
Kinda. By Lauren McFerran of the NLRB and other unsung pro-labor heroes cleaning up the mess Biden made to get much worse deals than they would have been able to if the president hadn’t strongarmed Congress into taking their rights away.
The only positive things Biden has done for unions and workers in general is appoint people who are more pro-labor than he is to relevant positions. Usually on the advice of yet other people who are also much more pro-labor than The Senator from MBNA.
And no, that doesn’t mean that I’d advise anyone to not vote for him next year.
Being punched in the face is still almost infinitely better than being shot in the genitals and left to die in agony from the resulting blood loss.
Just once, though, it would be LOVELY to have a helping hand to vote for rather than a fist or a bullet.
