Pistcow's comment illustrates the holes in that strategy.
We're not interested in your opinions on our strategy. Does Biden believe democracy is at stake? Does he need our votes to defeat Trump? This is the deal. Compromise with leftists or risk losing to fascists. Take it or leave it.

So all of the good that Biden has already done for unions means nothing to you unless he does one specific thing for one union? Biden has been amazing for unions, I really don't see why this is your line in the sand.
You don't need to understand it. You just need to believe me that I'm serious. And then you need to decide if you think Joe Biden needs my vote to win the 2024 general election. If he doesn't, congratulations, you can ignore me and get on with your day. If he does you should probably try to get him to take this seriously.
Sounds good. I don't need to listen to someone this sanctimonious
Telling people they're not entitled to my vote and that I don't have to explain it to them isn't sanctimonious. It's how democracy is sold to each and every one of us. If you find yourself trying to insist that someone vote against their own interests and understandings then you need examine whether or not you really believe in democracy.
they believe in winning.
Way to miss the point entirely.
