An all-star labor panel convenes to break down how the "most labor-friendly president since FDR" backed management & abandoned rail workers, how the media ran cover for Biden's betrayal, and how the so-called progressives in the House once again tried to use technocratic tools to obscure their complicity. Union train engineer Ross Grooters returns to the podcast along with The Real News' Maximilian Alvarez, and Bad Faith newbie and co-host of Well There's Your Problem Justin Roczniak. Every political & angle is covered, complete with Max's unbeatable sermons. You're not going to want to miss this one.

Those who continue to make EXCUSES for this Dem party- THIS is what you voted for. Biden, his Caregivers and AOC & the Squad are PRO: - Rail Barons & Mega Rich - Corporations - Big Pharma - Fossil Fuels - Police - Censorship - Surveillance State - WAR Your fav politicians are AGAINST: - Workers - Women - Minorities - Education - M4A or Single Payer - Clean Drinking Water - Clean Air - Living Wage - Life on this Planet The Progressives (Shit-libs in Training) don't care about the Climate Crisis or anything other than their OWN Bank & Privilege. Open your Minds, L2E crowd, cuz if you still believe they are fighting for you, and voting Blue is your only choice... think again. It may be painful, but wake up. Solidarity with Workers, is the only option open to ALL of us. It's pretty simple. JOIN OR DIE.

The Rich & Powerful forcing people to work in horrific conditions, working to the detriment of their health, safety, families and of their own lives... kinda reminds me of something. What is it? Oddly enough, it rhymes with "bravery."

Max Alvarez is a scab! He came in when they kicked out Paul and Sharmini from Real News for coverage on Russia. No one from that outlet will admit it but it’s clear that’s what happened. Gtfo Max, less than zero credibility

Sometimes politicians will publicly announce their support for workers to signal to the effected donors to pony up some more cash.

Im so furious. I was a delegate at the UAW Constitutional Convention this year. Marty Walsh and Congressional Rep Dingell came and spoke to us. They railed and whipped up the crowd with pro union and pro labor sentiment. Then bitch slapped the working class and did the Bossman's work for him with the rail workers. This sets a bad tone. Now all that has to happen is GM or the like lobby congress to usurp the NLRA section 7.

That may be 100% true, but it's kinda hard to cast him as an enemy of workers given his reporting and editorial direction.

I don't think those who still think Biden & the Squad are pro-worker, get that yet. This opens the door to all sorts of corporations & industries to Bribe Congress (both Teams) whenever they get inconvenienced by their work force making demands. I know people will argue that the Biden's Caregivers used an arcane law to fuck over the Rail Workers, and it's only pertains to the Railroad. But do you really think they aren't working on a bill to stop future strikes? You KNOW those sociopaths are working on one right now!

The whole point is that he does not have editorial independence, because he allowed his predecessors to lose theirs

I'm a bit stunned just how few comments there are on the Squad & Dems betrayal of the Rail workers and all people who work for a living. I guess it just shows that the PMC Faithful only really have faith in Fauci and whatever excuses Sam Seder or TYT comes up with, so they can feel better about continuing to vote Blue No Matter Who. Listened to yday's Call-in. I didn't hear one apologist or defender of the POS Squad, Biden's Caregivers, or even the Dems in general. Could this be the moment that the PMC are realizing that, ONCE AGAIN, the Leftists they love to dismiss, are on the correct side of the argument? Or did they not call-in because they KNOW they have zero defense of their Pet Progressives? But, give it a few days, and they'll be right back to bitching about Jimmy Dore, horseshow theory, and how the Dum-Dum Left is too divisive.

Maybe this is far too simple a take, but I really wish there was already a fund set up for rail workers- so that they can proceed with the strike and have some kind of cushion, even if it’s just a small amount. I am terribly afraid of the shockwaves that will come after workers are defeated here. Seems like this is the most important thing happening in the country right now, regarding corporate control and monopoly.

One of these guys talks way too much.
