      There’s no excuse for blocking a strike. Fuck Joe Biden and fuck the 44 Democrat senators and 36 Republican senators who helped him.

      • It wasn’t a retail worker strike, it was a rail worker strike. It’s critical to national security that the rail lines be running. I hate strike-breaking legislation as it’s a blatant removal of constitutional rights, but there is a fine line to walk as President in the face of a transport crisis.

          If you believe blocking the strike was the right call then you and I are not on the same side. Elect your procorporate trash candidate on your own.

          Fuck national security. You can use that as an excuse for any bullshit. Didn’t they use that as an excuse to lock up American citizens after pearl harbor?

          This sentiment is exactly why strikes should include sabotage.
