    I understand that online this inaccurate sentiment is in the 24-hour news cycle so you’ll see a lot of inaccurate articles today, but in real life, Biden has proven himself with direct legislative and personal action to be the most pro-union pro-working class president in decades.

    If you’re unaware of the legislative actions he’s dedicated to the working class during his presidency alone(higher wages, union rights, employee rights and so on), you can check out this list:

      Biden has proven himself with direct legislative and personal action to be the most pro-union pro-middle class president in decades.

      The problem is that the bar is so low that this is true

        The qualifier isn’t even necessary.

        bar notwithstanding, even by the measures of a progressive presidency, the legislation biden has dedicated to and enacted for the working class is very impressive.

        That can’t be said about the measures taken by any other president in at least half a century.

            “He literally busted a strike”.

            this is the one example people are going to deliberately misinterpret so that you don’t take the trouble to actually read about or understand his supportive working class or union policies, specifically the linked article above showing many of the legislative and direct action he’s taken to help the work in class and the unions during his presidency.

            you can click that link and literally follow other hyperlinks to the legislation established.

            “It still amazes me his pr team…”

            again, this is actual legislation and action, not PR. Stop blindly repeating headlines, they are inaccurate and you are twisting yourself up.

            look for comprehensive evidence of concrete actions and consequences concerning your anxieties.

            hint: objective, irrefutable evidence of biden’s support for the middle class and unions is in that article I linked above
