ā€œMost progressiveā€ is not a high bar to clear.

and Biden still limbos way under it.

Biden forced the railroad workers to go back to work, violating their right to protest. That's ACTUALLY fascism. The government forcing people to work at a company for shitty pay so the shitty company can get more money

The biden administration got the railworkers what they were asking for.

Its not his fault you cant read.

And Obama broke the legal Occupy Wall Street protests and killed civilians in Yemen with drone strikes. So he takes the title instead? ā€œMost progressiveā€ is a comparative qualification, and he does not need to BE a progressive to take the title.

While I agree that the strike shouldnā€™t have been broken and that the rail workers should have the right to stop as much work as they control in order to make their demands heard, Biden also became the first president to walk a picket line during that strike and ultimately got the rail workers a deal that their unions all were reportedly happy with. He may not be everything you want, but he IS the most pro-union president of my lifetime. Again, not a high bar to clear. Recognize progress when it happens, even if itā€™s not your dream come true.

Furthermore, with all the terrifying examples of actual rising fascism that surround us right now, donā€™t muddy the waters with BS like that. It just makes you look like a troll.
