President Biden’s video featuring clips from a Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) speech to tout his legislative accomplishments reached more than 30 million views in 12 hours after it was posted …
Nah, Biden got the rail workers paid sick leave. Got it done 6 weeks ago.
Stopping rail at high inflation would’ve been a disaster for so many Americans. Especially since the supply chain was a major driver for said inflation. So many economists were freaked out about rail halting at that time.
Biden promised he’d keep working on negotiations, and he did. And he got folks paid sick leave a few months later.
Edit: also, why does everyone forget that Biden WANTED to force the corpos to pay up, and the GOP blocked it in Congress?
This is where politics gets so fucking disingenuine it makes me ill.
He didn’t do “enough” yet we give the guy who did nothing-to-negative a pass?
Or they shit on a single democratic senator for not voting this way or that, giving a pass to the 50 shitheads who voted no because they’re scared of getting murdered by either their base or the people who bribe them donate to their campaigns
Dude managed to get them paid sick leave without tanking the economy even harder, but he’s the corpo, not the other party actively trying bust the rail union.
I think what I’ve come to realize is that Biden is a good public servant but not a great president. He’s actually shockingly good at getting things done, he’s had a much more successful term than I ever expected, but he’s such a behind the scenes guy that almost no one knows. In my opinion the president needs to be front and center with their accomplishments, their successes need to be constantly pushed to people and they need to make a point of setting the tone for the national conversation around important issues. Biden hasn’t been particularly stellar at that and it’s why people think the strongest economy in the G7 is in the shitter and why this commenter thinks he screwed the rail workers, among myriad other things.
I personally enjoy that he is behind the scenes so to speak. What is really telling however is that the media never actually reports on these things. Atleast in your face about it, and why would they? It helps them to make others think Biden isnt helping the people.

I mean, has Biden even taken a victory lap about this? It’s like Democrats are ashamed of their accomplishments. There’s too many people who got to see Biden being a strikebreaker but haven’t heard about the sick days. And since a Democrat told them he was still fighting, they assumed that meant what it usually does and that he’d given up forever.
Biden took his sweet ass time doing it while workers continued to suffer. Further, saying “it would be bad for you to go on strike right now so you can’t” is so anti-labor its insane! Think about it! If its so bad for them to strike, why didnt Biden step in and tell the corporations right then, "look jack, either you cave or I will let them strike. Come to the table or lose your profits. " Of course, he sided with corporations and took the anti-union stance. He’s not pro-labor, if he was he’d be out supporting the writers guild, Starbucks, the fucking NLRB
Or just hear me out. He did it while trying to make the corporations come to the table, not increase inflation more than it already is, and succeeded. Yes, it took a long time. But hey, politics isn’t a quick and dirty thing. I think people forget that things happen over months or years, not days.

Biden wanted to force to the corpos to pay up under the railway labor act, but the Republicans in Congress blocked it.
