The rail union contract expires at the end of this year meaning the rail union workers can strike again sometime in 2025. Whoever wins the 2024 general election and becomes president will immediately have to deal with that possibility. If Biden is serious about how Trump is the biggest threat we face then promising to veto any attempts to force another contract onto the rail unions is a bargain.

Your move Joe. Are you willing to compromise with leftists or do you want to go down in history as the second establishment Democrat who lost to Donald Trump?

    A further goalpost

    You mean the goalpost set by the rail workers themselves for 15 days.

    You’re suggesting that we should only consider that Biden got some number of rail workers some sick days and that’s it?

    As someone who’s actually informed on the subject matter let me tell you why it didn’t make headlines: Because what Biden got was pathetic. If you actually look at what he got compared to what they were prepared to strike for its embarrassing.

      The point is a the statement you replied to is objectively true. It’s a fair discussion to consider deeper details but your reply suggested the person was telling a lie or was being deceptive.

        Actually what it suggested is they had no idea what Biden actually accomplished. I suspect you don’t either.
