      forget the politicians blame game, they are doing just that right now, despite strikes or lack thereof. all for show, fuck them.

      the important part are the worker rights we could have permanently earned, just like our right to the 8hr workday back then.

      i dont care if one side gets to get to power over another as long as we have the worker power to bend them to our will. you seem worried about republicans but it ended up being democrat biden who illegalized strikes for an entire industry. this is really bad in the medium to long run.

      about having the people agreeing with it, most people supported it, and im doing my part right now in talking to the ones seemingly on the fence.

      This precisely. Anyone who is arguing otherwise is being intentionally misleading. Republicans were practically salivating at the opportunity to attack Biden on economic issues.

      Maybe there’s a reason why leftists hate democracy - because they are too politically naive for it.

        Well, thank God we avoided that outcome! As long as the Dems just cater to what Republicans want, we can ensure that Republicans won’t resort to baseless accusations.
