Maybe pittance is the wrong term but Bidens also done a lot to sit on his own nuts. I want Biden to act for the working class the same way he responds to anytime there may be an economic crisis when the banks fuck up. I want Biden to have the same level of urgency when he sees the blue collar people are flailing.
Now, I know anytime he bails out Wallstreet he gets zero resistance from the other side but for that exact reason we should expect an even greater response for working class people. Sure he will wheel and deal for us but will he ever stand up for us?
The rail unions said that the administration quietly worked behind the scenes to get them an agreement with actual sick days. So I think he will, but it depends on the topic and it may not be visible.
Why should he have to work behind the scenes? Who is he afraid he will make angry that citizens are receiving basic decency?
The owners of this country, that’s who. So when you say, “OH he’s just listening to the GOPs talking points”, the exact opposite. The GOP is stealing our talking points and pretending they could do better when we all know they will do much, much worse.
On one level I like that he’s working behind the scenes. I like a leader that does their job and gets shit done without tooting their own horn.
That said, it’s a very idealistic view of leadership, not a pragmatic one. I completely agree that he needs to really about the behind the scenes things. We don’t have the luxury of not advertising it.
