Biden is addressing the needs of labor.

[DrLove]

Uncle Joe has been impossible for Trumpanzees to peg and they've tried it all. He just keeps his nose to the grindstone, get those shots in arms, passes a massive piece of legislation benefiting workers instead of the Paris Hiltons and Jeff Bezos's of the world, and ignores the clownery about Mr Potato Head and Dr Seuss.

Still enjoying a 60% approval rating. Hell, 59% of REPUBLICANS approved of the COVID bill. Yessir, America is coming back and Biden owns Trumpublicans - Not by Tweeting stupid insults, but by doing the tough job of GOVERNING and cleaning up the ginormous mess he inherited ... One day at a time!

 

[Harry Dresden]

and if once again a politician is all talk,will we see you here telling us that biden is just more bullshit?...and he doesnt have much leadership skills...

It is entirely possible that Biden could prove almost as big a failure as the former guy, but it's so far so good judging by his approval from labor specifically and from the American People in general.

big fucking deal.......my union the N.A.L.C. was all for obama and biden after bush back when they got in.....after 8 years they did diddly squat for the PO as far as ending that stupid 5 billion dollars a year they had to pay........lets see what they think a year from now.....

The "blue collar sector" isn't a real thing. That's why idiots who still believe in it are surprised every election with how the HUMANS voted and have to come up with terms like "Reagan democrats" to explain why they were so wrong again.

You can call the demographic whatever you need to, but they are quite happy with Biden's policies.

This is what they hoped for when labor organizations contributed $27.5 million to his campaign. The former guy that proved to be such a disappointment took in less than $360,000 from those with labor ties.

" This is what they hoped for when labor organizations contributed $27.5 million to his campaign. The former guy that proved to be such a disappointment took in less than $360,000 from those with labor ties. "

And that's why he won the election and no one showed up for President* Biden's rallies. We are humans. Not "workers"

 

[schmidlap]

Not for Democrats. They've been doing it that way for 50 years, and Joe Biden was big part of it throughout.

Do you have any credible sources in which labor interests are expressing your view and contradicting the information in the OP article?

Thee two are not mutually exclusive. Workers are among the majority of Americans who indicate that they support the President.

So a handful of Union leaders make the decision to donate to Dementia Joe and every other democRAT - not the rank and file - just the leadership. And this proves what??

Why Joe Biden Resonates With Blue-Collar Voters

Why Joe Biden Resonates With Blue-Collar Voters (Published 2019)

Joseph R. Biden Jr. has durable support from a multiracial coalition of working-class voters who view him as one of their own.

www.nytimes.com

​

The President's recovery package is receiving widespread, bipartisan support throughout the nation, but the enthusiasm among blue collar workers is a confirmation of his commitment to a faction that had become, quite rightfully imho, so alienated from the Democratic Party that it was willing to take a desperate shot in 2016.

The former guy's fake promises that he would revive coal mining, reinvigorate steel production, and restore manufacturing - as bogus as his vows to make Mexico pay for a big, beautiful wall and replace 'ObamaCare' with "Something terrific!" that "covers everybody!"- left them in despair, but they have been given reason to be cautiously optimistic.

Promises, Promises​

​

Union leaders and their Democratic allies pointed to an $86 billion aid provision in the package that would prevent multi-employer pension plans from collapsing. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), who pushed for its inclusion, said it would “not only protect these pensions, but will stimulate our local economies and prevent a major bailout that would have cost taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars if we did nothing.”​

​

Phil Smith, the head of governmental affairs with United Mine Workers of America, said while their workers had their pensions shored up in 2019, the rescue plan provides a “backstop” to protect their retirement accounts, and listed it along with other wishlist items that the union plans to tout internally, as well as though its social media channels.​

​

“That is such a signature accomplishment that has been worked on for more than a decade,” Smith said. “It’s huge!”​

​

They also welcomed expanded benefits that will soon begin flowing to thousands of unemployed mine workers. Other union leaders said out-of-work members whose families are suffering through the pandemic will make them aware of their eligibility for COBRA subsidies to help them afford healthcare.​

​

“Unions are often in the position of having to explain to our members that after we fight, and after we mobilize, the negotiators come back and it’s not everything we wanted,” said Damon Silvers, policy director for the AFL-CIO. “President Biden’s American Rescue Plan is one of those extraordinary moments when that’s actually not true.”​

​

“This is what we fought for—right down the line.”​

​

The Biden blitz is coming

The president is preparing to embark on a new, far more public-facing phase of his term.

www.politico.com

​

Biden's commitment to fulfill the former guy's phony promise to rebuild the nation's crumbling infrastructure is especially encouraging for the labor sector as well as for the nation in general.

America is coming back!

Your thread title is a lie, as I have proved.

 

[schmidlap]

Your thread title is a lie, as I have proved.

Biden's stimulus legislation, as noted by Irwin Garfinkel, co-director of the Center on Poverty and Social Policy at Columbia University: "It ranks historically right up there next to the Social Security Act, and in terms of children, maybe even bigger than the Social Security Act in the actual short-term outcomes."

You will recall that it was FDR's Social Security Act of 1935 that, despite bitter attacks by fiscal conservatives, initiated labor's loyalty to the Democratic Party, an affinity that endured for well over three decades.

The Biden bill provides substantial assistance for middle class families through its expanded child tax credit, the $1,400-per-person direct stimulus checks, expanded federal unemployment benefits, and subsidies for purchasing health insurance through the Affordable Care Act (that not only withstood relentless right-wing attacks. It became more popular amidst the former guy's fake promises to repeal it and replace it with "something terrific!" that covers "everybody!" at "less cost!"), among other provisions - all addressing the needs of disgruntled, white working-class voters.

The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities found that white children comprise about half of the roughly 65 million beneficiaries nationwide, - a majority of those receiving the enhanced benefits in key Rust Belt states such as Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Ohio and Iowa.

Biden is addressing the needs of white, blue collar workers disenchanted with the former guy's fake promises.

Some hardcore diehards have been smitten by the Loser's cultural vilifications and divisiveness, but economic interests are far more alluring, and the record of the former guy as well as the Biden agenda that Republicans adamantly oppose speak for themselves:

... Republicans have offered very little to advance the economic interests of blue-collar workers. Two major opportunities for party leaders to showcase their priorities have unfolded recently without a nod to working Americans.​

​

Democrats advance a nearly $2 trillion economic stimulus bill... which is chock-full of measures to benefit struggling workers a full year into the coronavirus pandemic. The bill includes $1,400 checks to middle-income Americans and extended unemployment benefits, which are set to lapse on March 14.​

​

And at a high-profile, high-decibel gathering of conservatives in Florida last weekend, potential 2024 presidential candidates, including Hawley and Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, scarcely mentioned a blue-collar agenda. They used their turns in the national spotlight to fan grievances about “cancel culture,” to bash the tech industry and to reinforce Trump’s false claims of a stolen election.​

​

Inside and outside the party, critics see a familiar pattern: Republican officials, following Trump’s own example, are exploiting the cultural anger and racial resentment of a sizable segment of the white working class, but have not made a concerted effort to help these Americans economically.​

​

“This is the identity conundrum that Republicans have,” said Carlos Curbelo, a Republican former congressman from Florida, pointing to the universal opposition by House Republicans to the stimulus bill drawn up by President Biden and congressional Democrats. “This is a package that Donald Trump would have very likely supported as president.”​

​

“Here is the question for the Rubios and the Hawleys and the Cruzes and anyone else who wants to capitalize on this potential new Republican coalition,” Curbelo added. “Eventually, if you don’t take action to improve people’s quality of life, they will abandon you.”...​

​

Republicans Won Blue-Collar Votes. They're Not Offering Much in Return.

As the election returns rolled in showing President Donald Trump winning strong support from blue-collar voters in November while suffering historic losses in suburbs across the country, Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri, a Republican, declared on Twitter: “We are a working class party now. That’s...

news.yahoo.com

​

On the other hand, consider just one of the former guy's fake enticements that has been exposed:

October 12, 2020​

​

... Trump promised to revive the coal industry... he vowed to “put our miners back to work” during his 2016 campaign trips to coal country... he would end “the war on coal?” ... always with coal miners standing behind him, applauding his promise to bring coal back​

​

​

He piled it high.​

... 145 coal-burning units at 75 power plants have been idled during Trump’s time in office (“the fastest decline in coal-fuel capacity in any single presidential term”). Power generated from coal has dropped from 31% to 20%. Coal production is down 34% (“the largest four-year drop in production since at least 1932”). And some 5,000 coal miners — nearly 10% of the workforce — have lost their jobs while Trump has been president. Not only has Trump not brought back the coal industry, he hasn’t even been able to slow its decline.​

Trump didn’t save coal or steel – to be fair, no one could

Many people believe that Trump never truly cared about bringing back coal or steel.

Ever since the former guy's three stooges, - Squidhead and the Borsht Brothers - bungled a caper to contrive a Biden scandal in Ukraine, and Squidhead kept raving that he had a fabulous "Hunter Laptop from Hell!" concealed in his frillies, Trumpery has been an evanescent, tasteless farce, its sniveling remnants mewling about ice cream instead of policy.

The GOP must extract its dusky snoot from the sulking man on the way down, and smell the winds of change.
