President Joe Biden on Sunday ticked through a list of reasons he says a second Donald Trump presidency would be a “nightmare” for the country as he urged Nevada Democrats to vote for him in the state’s presidential primary this week and for his party at large in November.
Biden opened a campaign swing with a fundraiser where he focused on Trump’s ample history of provocative statements — his description of Jan. 6 rioters as “hostages,” his musing about a former top military officer deserving execution, his branding of fallen soldiers as “suckers” and “losers,” his wish to be a Day One “dictator,” his vow to supporters that “I am your retribution,” and more.
Then it was on to a community center in a predominantly Black section of Las Vegas, where he told his crowd of several hundred that “you’re the reason we’ll make Donald Trump a loser again.”
Biden said the stakes were huge when he took on Trump in 2020 — “what made America America, I thought, was at risk’ — and they are even larger now as a likely rematch looms.
The rail union contract expires this year meaning they can strike in 2025.
If Biden is serious about how dangerous Trump is he should promise to back the rail unions and veto any legislation which would block their ability to strike. That’s a small price to pay for democracy and would cement his legacy as the most pro-union president in history.
They should really just strike anyway if that dumb fuck does win.
Everyone should.
honestly they should just strike anyway, “lol you put a
lawblock against striking? good luck training scabs for the entire industry”The problem for rail workers is they’re not eligible for social security. They’re provided pensions which can be seized if they strike because corporations are fucking disgusting. I support them striking anyway but I totally understand why they’re reluctant to try it.
Why can’t rail workers get social security?
