    Because if you sign back to work legislation you are a worthless fuck.

    I support unions and workers right to strike but at the cost of potential economic collapse?

    Is that what you want to hear when it's your turn? Fuck this scab ass take. "I support workers rights, no really, it's just I need my treats."

    When the working class is expressing it's power and one wants to claim they are "the most union friendly president you've ever seen," you get the fuck out of the way and let it happen.

      I would expect that the elected representative acted I. The best interests of the majority of their constituents over that of a few. That’s literally what an elected officials job is supposed to be.

      I can be both upset that action against a subset of the population and acknowledge the persons responsibility to work in the best interests of the majority.

      That’s why what happens after is so important.

      A lot of people in the US seem to tie their emotions up in their politics.

      As to a subjective statement like Biden being the most union friendly president, I just ignore comments like that. There are people who claim Trump was the best president ever too. These are opinion statements, not measurable in any form of empirical data.
