    to clarify yes did cherry pick paragraphs

    my goal was to not have a screen’s worth of text unless people desired it hence the links

    did not personally feel it interfered with the facts as of today’s date since Biden’s career has on the whole been center right in his politics especially with worker’s rights

    but will in the future take more heed of the dates involved

      IMO, at best its misleading. LOTS of straight up copied text from Wikipedia (just link to the section), making it appear as if there wasn’t anything else after that.

      Just because he followed up on his promise doesn’t make him progressive, but ignoring it entirely is just playing games to play pretend that he did nothing but force an outcome.

      To me, that’s just as bad as saying Trump is pro-labor because he said so one time, and ignoring all the other crap he did. Such as restricting the ability for union reps to advocate (federal workers), revoking a DOE contract (and their rights and protections stripped), putting union busting lawyers on the NLRB, opposing federal minimum wage increase, and I’m going to stop because he’s so damn depressing.
