The United Farm Workers on Tuesday announced its endorsement of President Joe Biden for reelection, saying that the Democrat has proven throughout his life to be an “authentic champion” for workers and their families, regardless of race or national origin.
The farm workers’ union was co-founded by Cesar Chavez, the late grandfather of Julie Chavez Rodriguez, who Biden named as his 2024 campaign manager. Her father, Arturo Rodriquez, is a past UFW president.
Julie Rodriguez and “special guests” were expected to formally announce the endorsement later Tuesday at Muranaka Farms in the city of Moorpark in southern California.
I need to see Biden passing 15$ mjnimum wage before I vote for him. Or universal health care lol. Or anything close to what fdr would have gotten according to the news I guess I dunno
This “take” is what’s wrong with American politics. If Biden can’t push either of those through an opposition House that would never do anything he wants, you will actively enable the other side, who would undo all of the good done, to win?
“I will not help us achieve progress until we can achieve more progress”.
Let’s see what Biden delivers on…. Which isn’t much so far….
Him showing up on the picket line is a good start, but it’s also just a political stunt.
Let’s see him fight for some of the progressive policies he claims to care about.
Calling Manchen my good friend is not fighting for your agenda.
Leftists: “The beatings will continue until morale improves”
Leftists: “Hey we’re not perfect but at least we’re not trampling people’s rights.”
That’s liberals.
Leftists believe they are perfect.
What leads you to that conclusion?
https://lemmy.world/
Your take is actually what’s wrong. I’m not voting for the other guy just because I’m not voting for Biden
What’s wrong with our politics is the fucking corporate boot lickers like you who watch politicians like Biden and most others receive legalized bribes and yet you continue to suck his dick.
get that old man cock out of your mouth it’s not a good look
Biden has literally gotten nothing done. But you treat him like FDR
Quit smoking crack
For those curious about political/propaganda meta-conversations in threads like this, look at this dude’s comment history and contemplate why they say what they do, and at what points in a conversation they decide to open their mouths and say it, and what the probable intended result of what they’re saying might be.
Treat it like an English assignment, folks. Except it’s in the wild and not sanitized in a book, it’s trying to work on you in real-time.
What do you think this person’s purpose for speaking up is?
You’re the one spewing corporate media talking points. You trying to say I am proganda is laughable nonsense
100% voting for the other guy if you don’t Vote for the sane option of the only two offered.
bOtH sIdEs
Imagine being this unhinged lol.
Leftism truly rots your brain.
Biden cannot pass anything. Only congress can. Obviously if such a thing passed congress Biden would gladly sign it. But since the GOP controls congress, it cannot happen until Dems win it back. That’s basic politics.
Zoomers: [head explodes]
Can’t blame kids for being kids
Biden could fight …… for anything.
They gave up on their “signature issue” of 15$ the fucking first month in office.
Biden has the bully pulpit free media attention whenever he wants it. He can fight for his agenda.
But he has no spine and does not fight for anything that his corporate overlords do not approve of.
Dude is basically Regan after Alzheimer’s
He literally just joined the UAW on the picket line. There is no point in fighting for a $15 minimum wage if congress will never go for it. And they won’t with its current makeup. It’s a non-started. He’s not stupid and he’s not going to waste his time on fighting for things that won’t happen.
Anyway, people shouldn’t be fighting for any minimum wage. They should be fighting for a UBI.
Poor helpless Biden has no power to persuade anyone
He did an amazing job when Dems had a 1/2 vote margin in the senate. But as long as the GOP controls congress, raising the minimum age is literally an impossibility.
Fdr fought for social security and Medicare and workers rights…… he called out senators who disagreed with him by name.
He did not call folks who shut down his policy proposals “my good friends”
If amazing job means calling senators who voted against your policy platform “my dear friends”, then okay I guess…… he did an amazing job at capitulating without putting up an ounce of fight. He didn’t call out anyone.
He didn’t actually want the policies he claimed to stand for. He lied to us. He is a corporate neoliberal. He wouldn’t be a democrat if the republicans weren’t actually racist fascist sons of bitches. But they all take legal bribes….
You think all a prez has to do is “call out someone” and then magically get Republicans to vote as Dems? LOL. Yes Bernie would have tried harder. But Bernie would have gotten the same results. Bernie told you that again and again and again when he said we need a “political revolution” to change the entire congress, not just the president.
No, you lied to us with this false statement. The policies he has already gotten passed have been amazing compared with all previous presidents. That you weren’t paying attention is on you, not Biden.
GQP talking points numbers one, two, and three.
I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a more blatant example of cutting off your nose to spite your face.
I hope you enjoy the increase you’ll get under the Fascists.
Corporate oligarchy or facism…… if those are the only two options, I no longer give a fuck and my ballot will be blank under the options for president. I vote every year but I don’t vote for neoliberals or asshats.
Then your opinion also doesn’t matter. Also both options are not anywhere near the same to any sane person.
You don’t see how fascism would be significantly worse for certain groups of people? LGBTQ, Jews, people of color, etc?
shhh the white straight “leftists” are explaining to us ungratefuls how it’s not bigoted for them to hinge their helping to secure our rights on meeting their increasingly niche demands.
These folks never seem to have figured out that collective bargaining is meant to be a “punching up” move. Or that “working class solidarity” is a lot easier to achieve when the entire working class has a common experience to rally solidarity around as opposed to a lot of them wishing they only had working class experience problems to stress over.

I mean whatever he does it’ll be better than Trump or whoever republicans are gonna nominate.

I’m done voting for the better of two evils. I will not vote for politicians who do not support policy I care about. And right now Biden was right. Nothing has fundamentally changed. His corporate donors approve, but that’s not how you get my vote. And I know I’m not alone.
Lol. You think that’s how it works??
And that’s why you will never get those.
He can’t do any of that unless the Dems take back the house and have 60 seats in the Senate.
And it’s almost certain that the Dems will actually lose the Senate this cycle. This is the 2018 “Blue Wave” crop up for reelection.
Even if the Dems win 2/3 seats this cycle, the Republicans will retake the Senate.
