    You have one party led by a Nazi, you have a Nazi party.

    If you have one party led by a Nazi, and the other party invites and allows “peaceful” talks, you have two Nazi parties.

    Trump is a Nazi, acting like you’re just doing your job of transition of power means you’re handing the keys to the Nazis.

              This is a post directly from the union.

                From your own link:

                "On deadline day, the parties reached an agreement on an updated contract that included the biggest wage increases in 47 years. Over the next several weeks, while acknowledging that the agreement was less than perfect, the IBEW and several of its fellow coalition unions voted to ratify the agreement. A handful of others, however, did not, instead threatening a December freight rail strike.

                Biden, citing the potential economic impact of a national freight rail strike during the winter holidays, on Nov. 28 called on Congress to impose the emergency board’s agreement. "

                Which part of that is railworkers getting what they wanted? Which the biggest part was having 15 days of sick leave per year, in one of the most chaotic, health-destroying jobs there are in the US?

            As you guys also know, at the request of President Joe Biden, with the urging of the rail companies themselves and with the help of both parties in Congress, the government preemptively blocked railroad workers from striking in December of 2022 and forced workers to accept a contract that did not address the vast majority of issues that have been putting them our communities and our supply chain at hazard. Then two months later in February of 2023, the Norfolk Southern train derailment and toxic chemical disaster happened in East Palestine.

            They tried to be neutral in this article, but we all know what happened.

            It’s fairly easy to pick a couple policies that would be true of any two American presidents and say “look they’re the exact same people!!!” while ignoring 10,000 other differences.
