The Biden Administration and All Things Politics

[fishonjazz]

I am completely aware that politicians lie. Everyone seems to think that if I point out any concerns about the democratic party that I am obviously a republican. I'm trying to help people realize that the real battle isn't left vs right - its top vs bottom. You also have made that observation as well, it's a system that needs adjusting and it can only change if people stop kicking the can down the road and voting left vs right -blue team vs red team.

FWIW I feel like folks should have time off work, I feel like folks should also have healthcare, body autonomy, living wages, free speech, and to live in peace. All of which used to be democratic views.

Funny thing is that if the strike were to happen and deliveries were slowed down and there were supply chain issues then I 100% guarantee that the Biden administration would be blamed for the supply chain issues. Its a lose lose situation for the biden administration.

It does seem like folks having healthcare (obama care), living wages (minimum wage increases, student loan forgiveness, social security, etc), living in peace, body autonomy (abortion rights) and free speech seem to be democratic views still.

Oh wow, you think that showing that Biden isn't as pro-worker as his wife claimed that it shows that Biden is no better than Trump?

Holy ****ing ****! You've got a lot more work to do to get that far. A lot more.

All farts stink. That doesn't mean all farts are the same. Some stink really bad and come with a surprise. Trump is the stinkiest, wettest, loudest fart that has ever disgraced the White House. His supporters stick their nose half way up his *** to get as much of it on them as possible. One of them just got convicted of sedition.

Cool- I'm not a trumper or a republican. Trump isn't the president and republicans aren't currently in power. I'm not worried about trump when the current administration is the one "sabre rattling" with nuclear powers and pushing us towards nuclear war among other things.

An even more unlikely third scenario might be to support the god damn workers! Could you imagine if a company making 21 billion in profits every year were forced to spend a few million on paid leave for its workers? gasp!!!

Okay I thought this was a place to discuss politics and the Biden administration.

I'm pretty sure that's what I was doing.

I can see that you are pretending that you are choosing the lesser of two evils.

Technically, the least of five evils. But who's counting? Should I be choosing the greatest of five evils?

You will be able to continue to believe that as long as you don't actually look at what those democrats currently in power are actually doing (or not doing in this case).

If I take this closer look with you, which party will then become the least of the five evils, and why?

Nevertheless I'm sure its been echoed numerous times by other Democrat faithful.

The adjective is "Democratic". Using "Democrat" as an adjective makes you look partisan or stupid.

Yes, party flunkies echo party talking points.

FWIW I dont get paid sick days. Zero. The rail workers get 1 right now apparently and want to get 7. I get zero. Im at work every day though.

If we are discussing the engineers, brakemen, yard workers, etc., then they really need more than white-collar workers.

Support the workers by forcing the corporation to do what the workers demand? Pretty sure many a republican would get mad at the biden adminstration for doing that. They would say that the government has no right to force the corporation to do what the workers want.
Look, anything the biden administration does or doesn't do there will be hell to pay by the shills at fox news and the fox news viewers will just watch and nod no matter what.

The Thriller seems to have made that assumption. Personally, I've been thinking of you as more a a socialist; your rhetoric seems closer to them.

Can't we all just get along?

Man, I wish I were a white-collar worker.

I guess I don't don't know what you do.

Pretty sweet. I could be on my deathbed and if I miss work i get an occurence. 6 occurences results in termination.

I literally havent called in sick to work in over 2 years. Also haven't been late in about 15 years.

You, my friend, are the exception to the rule. The vast majority of people who get terminated in our warehouses is for attendance issues. Not that we have that many who get terminated, but percentage wise of people who actually do get terminated it has to be 90%+ for attendance.
