    Some Railroad unions got 7 days sick leave from 0 days in an year. Whereas the law passed only had a single sick leave.

    While it is true SCOTUS overturned their own ruling, but inspite of calls for the government to enshrined the ruling as a law, successive Democratic government did everything possible to keep the status quo.

    I will give specific case where AOC was sidelined from becoming leading Democrat in oversight committee while promoting dieing Gerry Connolly. This is not an outlier but an systemic rot.

    I haven’t even mentioned threatening to snipe protestors, for availing their first amendment right against war in Gaza.

    Giving every weapons demanded by Bibi while doing a drama of threatening Netanyahu. Not saying Trump is better but at least we know who the villain is rather than having to dig through the facade of resistance Democrats were pushing.

      “Some” railroad workers? It went from 5% of class 1 freight rail workers to 90% in a few months, all of the major rail unions were covered.

      Enshrining the ruling in law would require enough votes to overcome filibuster, the DNC had at most 58 for only 72 days and used that time to pass the Medicaid Expansions we know today as the ACA / Obamacare.

      Conolly won a vote of 131-84 for a seat on the house oversight committee. If he really is dying then wait it out, kind of inconsequential tbh.

      The DNC have never and will never mobilize snipers against protestors. Just because universities got snipers from private security or local PDs or whatever doesn’t mean the DNC had any part of it.

      Biden actually withheld shipments of weapons because of Bibi’s reckless behavior, and Trump bragged bout delivering them.
