“I think what you’re reacting to is that, at the moment, Biden is an unpopular president seeking a second term while Trump is a popular figure inside his party who is winning primary races. I wouldn’t necessarily compare the two.”

      Passing legislation that prevents railway workers from protesting and in turn working out a private deal where they get a one time raise that isnt codified in law is pro union?

      Yes, that is progressivism. Its being crony conservative, but Democrat.

      Damn… I am just taken aback by your take. Eat up their lies, keep your eyes as tightly shut as possible.

          … but no form of annual or cost of living wage increases went through congress.

          Give a starving man a fish and he will call you a god. Ban him from ever fishing again and wait 3 days… reap what you sow.

      Being pro-worker for a tepid neoliberal is like being woke for a member of the GOP. While better than outright fascism, of course, liberalism is inherently anti-worker and pro-Capitalist. Biden has been giving band-aids to gaping stab wounds and running victory laps, without attempting to meaningfully address the root cause.
