Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

That timeline would have been amazing. Imagine UAW's reblossoming but with actual executive support!
Biden fired the guy who used to run the NLRB, and put in a bunch of actually pro-labor people. The guy Biden fired was the same guy who broke the air traffic controllers' strike way way back at the beginning of this round of great robberfication of the country.
And look! Putting pro labor people in charge of the labor agency worked out pretty well. Biden gave a huge amount of material support that enabled a lot of the recently-unprecedented success that people who've been fighting for labor gains have been achieving in the last year or two.
It's such a goddamned shame
He is still to this day more popular than either Biden or Trump. The list is actually pretty fascinating stuff.
And all the people who said Bernie was clearly too crazy to mount a serious campaign are now telling Biden how to run his campaign
Or Hilary, for that matter
I have no idea at all why Hillary is anywhere high up on that list. Carter being at the top is surprising in a good way; Hillary being high up is surprising in a very disquieting way.
My best guess is that it's either people who read a lot of newspapers, or people who really are falling victim to the "well the Democrats aren't great but they're not total monsters like the Republicans so I like them now" Stockholm Syndrome that the shills like to say is responsible for people's support of Biden.
Have you seen the Bernie's Legacy video? It's up to us now to continue the fight.

In a much better timeline— this great man won the presidency.
Just imagining that timeline has me in awe compared to the shitshow happening here in this one.
In before he's branded an antisemite
He needs a scathing statement directed at Biden.
