Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It directly contradicts your first claim.
My first claim is: "The unions wanted 15 days of sick leave, they would have been happy with the 7 most Democrats tried to give them, and Biden got them 4."
Is the masterstroke contradiction you're speaking to that some actually got 5? Or that they can give up their vacation days to be sick? Because that's not a paid sick day.
This all continues to ignore that other people giving what they think you deserve IS NOT WORKER POWER.
And shows Biden is still fighting for them. While you are sitting idly by condemning the victory. See Four is greater than none. This is what is called progress by folks that are not so pure as you and thus understand you must lead and accept compromise rather than stamp your feet and whine while accomplishing nothing.
Getting something is 100% the actual goal and your childish tantrum would achieve nothing. There simply were not the Votes for anything else.
He literally didn't need votes at all to do the right thing and let workers retain their rights.
He needed the Votes to avoid condemning a strike which is what would have been the result of not getting involved when the Economy was in need and the idiot Railways were in no way going to negotiate without his direct intervention.
This is indecipherable word salad.
How does it feel being a sycophant of the status quo?
How does it feel being so pure you are an impediment to progress?
