I’ll vote for him but the DNC is taking unnecessary risks by not encouraging young progressives from taking the main stage who might drum up actual enthusiasm. Biden may be in favor of climate action and worker’s rights but those have never been his top priority.
Actions or action? I was infuriated by the railroad strike response, and I’ll never view that as anything but a miserable decision, but Biden was also the first president to join picket lines with the UAW strike and, for what it’s worth, leaders of the railroad unions did give him some credit for helping negotiate for the sick day benefits they were able to earn in the months following. He’s no Mother Jones by a longshot, but grading the balance of his actions on the curve of US politicians, he’s a C+ at worst

While it’s true that he campained pretending to be pro-union, his actual actions show the opposite. See the 2022 railroad strike
