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?

    I don’t think I could ever get them to agree with my point of view. But I do think if they believe our resolve they would realize they’re trying to squeeze blood from a stone and begin screaming louder at Biden and morons who voted for him in the 2020 primaries.

    They seem like they’re close. The claim that “we can push Biden to the left” was the best acknowledgement to date that we had at least some reasonable expectations and that they would support us. That promise never materialized but the fact that it was made gives us something to point to when they try to insist we vote for Biden again. We blindly trusted the promise once. It’s not unreasonable for us to refuse to do it again.
