Reply to comment by Locksmith-Pitiful in Brett Smiley looks to change / eliminate bicycle lane on South Water Street by Locksmith-Pitiful

Tbf there is no left here. Bernie, AOC, etc are centrists. They can't even back up the rail workers ffs

After the rail worker shit, I understand... as a progressive, I'm like, WTF? At the same time, there were several statements released by the progressive democrats essentially saying their hands were tied and that "it was complicated." Many of them voted for sick days but it was dismissed. I still think the progressive democrats are doing pretty damn good work though, still, the rail union was fucked.

Nah, there is no excuse. Always stand with labor. But that's the difference between actual socialists and these spineless social democrats.

I need to research it more unfortunately, I feel unequipped to give any strong opinions or thoughts :( At a surface level, it appears super shitty, I need to dive in more.
