    Is it already the time of year to bash progressives in case democrats lose so that they can be blamed for it? The extent of support Joe Biden will get is a vote against the republican party. As a candidate himself, he sucks as does the “democratic” party in general.

        He’s advanced the progressive agenda more than anyone else in modern history.

        And progressives hate him for it.

        You people have issues.

          I guess I didn’t just recognize his contribution in my comment. I’ll try harder next time.

            He did shut down the strike yes, but was recently credited by the unions for helping them in the months since to apply pressure to finally get them the sick days they were after.

            Quote from the article:

            "We’re thankful that the Biden administration played the long game on sick days and stuck with us for months after Congress imposed our updated national agreement,” Russo said. “Without making a big show of it, Joe Biden and members of his administration in the Transportation and Labor departments have been working continuously to get guaranteed paid sick days for all railroad workers.

            That’s not even mentioning all the good things happening at his NLRB under Lina Khan. My favorite of which being the new rule that straight up just orders companies found to have engaged in union busting tactics in response to workers trying to get a union election to immediately recognize and begin bargaining with said union.

      So nodbody is actually supporting the Dems, they’re just voting against the other wing of the party? Can you give an example of the “progress”?

        Inflation Reduction Act?

        Student Loans?

        CHIPS?

        Judge and admin appointments?

        I mean every day there’s new news “Biden administration undoes horrible fuck up Trump created” and occasionally there’s news “Biden administration improves system beyond where it was before Trump”.
