Well done in particular to Joseph Reaganette Biden and Alexandria Hernan Cortez.

Biden is just doing his job, and doing it well. AOC is proving that Jimmy Dore has a better understanding of US politics than me and everybody else here. If the GOP manage to pull off their "realignment" of organised labour, well done to them.
Per progressives in Congress, unions only asked them to vote yes on separate bills and not hold them up.

I read what she said, but someone correctly pointed out that the union leadership (who AOC spoke to) was the one agreeing to the deals anyway. It was the workers who had rejected them and wanted to strike.

AOC mentioned local union leadership in her constituency BTW.

Could be wrong but I’m pretty sure her local union has nothing to do with rail bargaining unit(Her local is a grocery union).

So it shouldn’t matter what they told her. In the end a democratic socialist(Whatever the feck that means anymore) voted to break a strike.

Super-annoying 15 year olds on reddit who use a hundred year old German phrase about social democratic perfidy: vindicated!

:lol:

The XG on vulgar Marxism is popping off atm.

Can you imagine spending a decade building a socialist magazine, the last 6 years developing a in and out strategy with bourgeois electoral campaigns, along with bringing back a party like the DSA. Only to be proven wrong by Reddit guys who photoshop AOC head onto pictures of freikorp soldiers.

I have all the respect in the world for people who decide to not vote for Biden over this, or vote for another candidate. But anyone who votes Republican over it is a moron who deserves what they're going to get.
Can’t remember who made this point but the future(If it isn’t already happening)of American politics will about using the government to punish certain groups and to act out personal resentments

Huge difference between democrats and republican, when Avenatti got caught (even before any conviction), he was ditched by the dems. When Cuomo was caught, he got ditched by the dems. When Trump got caught, Magatards made him superstar.

Doesn't matter much, she is gone in 2 years anyway, one way or the other.
