    These people sound stupid, Congress passes laws, not the President - President can only endorse.

    Sounds like Green Party voters.

    You don't get everything in a negotiation, sounds like another guy with 'get mine, fuck the rest' attitude.

    Biden did not endorse the rail workers.

    How strongly they endorse make a difference.Clinton,Obama,LBJ and FDR wouldn't have gotten anything done if they endorsed like Biden.

    Obama had a net positive approval rating when that article was written and went on to become the only the 4th president in over 100 years to get over 50% of the popular vote twice

    The deal was negotiated with rail unions


    For those who subscribe to this view, the rail labor dispute was a telling encapsulation of Mr. Biden’s approach: an instance in which the administration worked closely with many leaders of the dozen unions representing rail workers but angered portions of the rank and file. Members of four unions voted down the deal that the administration had helped broker but were not allowed to strike for a better one.

    Also, you seem to have missed the Obama presidency completely.

    “For the decisions made in the Obama administration, labor was often an afterthought,” Ms. Shuler said. “It’s the polar opposite with Biden. We’re included at the table ahead of time, before decisions are made.”

    Even the railway labor situation, in which Mr. Biden urged Congress to enact a contract that included significant wage gains and improvements in health benefits, ended up more favorable to workers than it probably would have under another administration, union officials say.

    2024 hasn't happened yet. Point was that progs were disappointed with Obama as usual, progs want miracles while unable to win anything themselves.
