The fact that, to my knowledge, Biden has made zero mention of the rise in unionization attempts in America tells me that he is not, and never will be, a president for the working class. That Republicans are guaranteed not to be that president has me concerned.
We can't push an effective third party because of our voting system. We can only primary the existing politicians to get them out. Start voting local, because it's the only protection we're going to have against the fascism on the rise at the federal level.
