Most of the country's other big unions endorsed President Biden in the earliest days of his reelection campaign. But the United Auto Workers held back until today.
-and another union foolishly ties itself to a sinking ship. I guess even "militant" unionists still can't think outside the ballot box. Disappointing, but unsurprising.
He just flushed away the political capital of an almost 400,000 worker union. Way to negotiate for even a crumb of a symbolic concession, before the primaries are even over. And to a president who crushed a rail strike just a year ago.
Try holding two thoughts in your head at once. It's hard, but once you do that, you can both make the best electoral decision possible while also organizing for more progressive candidates and non-governmental solutions. Crazy, I know.
