    Democracy is the government of the people, by the people, for the people…but the people are retarded.

      People usually get what they deserve, unless they deserve what they get. I sure hope the young ones all fired up (and rightly so) about the situation in Gaza also come to realize that by withholding their vote for Biden, or voting for a 3rd party candidate without a chance of winning, they are guaranteeing that Trump will take office, and if they think things are bad now, just wait till he starts (or rather continues) dismantling democracy. Then they will never have free speech nor the right to protest again.

            Don’t worry, you will be once you start to see how your generation will be remembered in history.

                The fact you have any confidence Boomers are going to remembered as anything but a dog shit generation is crazy to me. You all have systematically removed every benefit you ever enjoyed. There is no version of history which remembers you well.

                At worst history will remember millennials as not doing enough. But I would much rather be remembered as being weak than being a bully.

                They were fighting for 15 sick days. How many sick days do they all have?

                And you didn’t answer my question so I’ll assume your answer is “Yes Joe Biden will block another strike if he is reelected.”

                I don’t vote for strike blocking procorporate trash.

                  They got seven paid sick days, which is the compromise Bernie suggested.

                  Seven is pretty average in the US. I’ve never worked somewhere that gave more than 10, and frequently had to make due with five per year.

                    All of them got 7 sick days?

                    Also since you still haven’t answered: Biden plans on blocking a strike in his next term. Biden is a strike blocking piece of shit.
