IBEW was one of the unions that ratified the original proposal. They were already happy with the deal with no sick days and didn't want to strike in the first place.

from : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_United_States_railroad_labor_dispute

"Congressional intervention In September 2022, U.S. Senators Richard Burr and Roger Wicker introduced a bill that would have required labor unions to agree to the terms proposed by the Presidential Emergency Board, to prevent a strike.[18] It was blocked by Senator Bernie Sanders, who noted that freight rail workers receive a "grand total of zero sick days" while railroad companies made significant profits.[19] In the House of Representatives, Speaker Nancy Pelosi said, "We’d rather see negotiations prevail so there’s no need for any actions from Congress."[16]

In late November, after some unions had rejected the agreement, Biden asked Congress to pass the agreement into law. On November 30, the House of Representatives passed the existing tentative agreement along with an amended version that would require railroad employers to ensure 7 days paid sick leave.[20] On December 1, the Senate passed the tentative agreement with only 1 day of sick leave.[21] President Joe Biden signed the legislation into law on December 2.[4] The Biden administration's intervention in the dispute was condemned by over 500 labor historians in an open letter to Joe Biden and Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh.[22]"

Seems to me that by the end of that 5 year debacle, Biden had taken away the strikers power and forced them to accept scraps compared to what they asked for, and the centrists want to be thanked and praised for that pathetic dog's dinner. The presidents proposal to the strikers initially didnt include any paid sick time at all, but Sanders blocked it and forced it to change. So I give Biden a pretty low score for leadership there. Give Bernie the praise for those results. Biden was full speed ahead on the railroads side, as is his nature. Also, the strikes werent just about having no paid sick leave, there were other issues that werent addressed.

And where was Biden on the amazon strike? No help.

On Khan, yes Biden deserves some priase for that anti trust work. Whenever Biden does something progressive (and not centrist), we all seem to agree that its praiseworthy. Weird eh?

There need to be hard red lines. Human rights are one of these. This bill is literally, without any exaggeration, going to result in several thousand dead children. But the very survival of trans people is "political," so it's OK to sacrifice our lives for the sake of political expediency.

A few thousand dead kids is nothing, because deep down, people don't see trans people as human beings.

The Senate doesn’t rule any more than the President. The Senate must also compromise with the House.

Compromise is not enthusiastic capitulation, which is what we got. This wasn't a squeaker. Democrats overwhelmingly voted for this in the senate. The party abandoned trans people and you're defending them for it.

If America doesn’t want Republicans to influence policy, then America has to stop voting for Republicans.

Well, Democrats' last word to trans people for the foreseeable future was "we're doing what Republicans want." Democrats had an opportunity to do better here.

The real question is, why do Republicans choose to use their leverage on this shit?

Because they know that Democrats will break solidarity with any vulnerable minority and then blame anyone who is upset about it, like so:

The answer is simple. It allows them to undermine Democrats by splitting the left. Your reaction is the exact reason why trans people just got screwed. You are personally more responsible than anyone in the Senate.

This is bullshit. Centrists are responsible for their own cowardice and their own complicity. Don't blame people who are upset because you got everything you wanted.
