This thread in particular got to me today
The cognitive dissonance required to think Biden is on some leftist hot streak (ie Dark Brandon) is too fucking immense for me to handle
They get so close to asking the right questions and then some loser comes in and says something like “no you see, Biden crushed the rail strike because he’s on the side of unions” and just repeat the same weak rationalization in 38 other comments (Biden admin supposedly helped ONE of the many rail unions get ONE concession a few months later) and so now we’re supposed to be like “oh shit, Biden is fucking amazing for workers, whelp, off to the voting booths for me! Sign me up for another round of this guy!” completely ignorant of how it is transparently for optics before the next election, before he goes back to actively repressing labor
Biden is doing what the unions wanted him to do.
which is what the ruling class wanted because they're all on the same team
at least the management of the unions is anyway
Power dynamics
They are doing a meme. But even the management in many unions opposed Biden. Being a manager doesn't automatically make you a PMC, since good orgs do exist.
the uaw is definitely not one of the good ones however
