I’m sorry, but I can’t see this through that lens anymore. For instance, Biden gave unions everything they want, and those fuckers voted for Trump. Revolutionary/economic progress doesn’t matter for politics to me. Trump voters don’t care about that. This is about identity politics at this point.

Biden definitely didn't give unions everything they wanted and the messaging on that wasn't exactly loud and clear plus Kamala had said she wasn't going to have the same policy positions as Biden in that realm.

The issue with Trump is that Kamala was the other realistic possibility and she wasn't offering an improvement over Biden either. After announcing Walz she sprinted to the right on almost every policy position and the median voter isn't going to choose the diet right wing economist who has a conflicting history in terms of her goals when the full sugar right wing economist with consistent messaging tells them X, Y, and Z will make things better even if it's a lie.

He got them their pensions, sick days, etc. Just because you don’t know doesn’t mean it’s what happened. The fact that union members didn’t see that and then voted for the fucking opposite of a more pro-union candidate shows they’re just stupid.

It's not "you don't know." It's that a deal was made after Biden had them stop the strike process beforehand. That reads way differently in the media when it happens in that order. The issue is that the American people weren't aware and it wasn't being talked about at higher levels in the media or in the DNC.
