    I think it’s funny whenever someone says things like this. From what I see, and correct me if I’m wrong, the US has a one party and one tendency the split in two colors to pretend they are a democracy. I see more disagreements in ANY congress of ANY ML party anywhere around the world than I see between democrats and Republicans. Damn, the all-authoritarian see see peas for sure have at least a hundred times more diversity internally than they will ever have. So is not a option for any party to side with the workers, they all dance for the same masters.

      Hmm definitely not true on union issues - there are wild swings in policy depending on which party has an NLRB majority, with the Biden board going unusually far even for Democrats. Meanwhile legislatively almost all national Dems support the PRO act while Republicans are all strongly anti-union. Dems could do a lot better as the article mentions but the existing differences are already stark.

        If he wanted, Biden could have vetoed the rail strike bill for his “most pro-union president” image and let Congress override it, but he didn’t even do that…
