    Except I actually cared about the union, and stayed up to date.

    You picked a talking point and, like a Fox News anchor, stuck with it regardless of reality.

      Ever hear the term “recency bias”?

      The labor historians tried to stop the government from making a huge mistake BEFORE it happened because that’s usually the best time to stop things from happening. They did not change their opinion after the mistake was made in spite of their warnings.

      That your one Biden bootlicker opinion happened after that doesn’t make it more valid than that of hundreds of experts any more than me being born after Napoleon makes me more skilled at battlefield strategy than him.

      PS: if you care so much, why are you still pretending that IBEW was the only union involved rather than one out of a dozen?

        that reality occurred is inconsequential to how I feel

        Thanks for clearing that up.

            You might wanna give “straw man fallacy” a Google, because this ain’t it, chief.

              You’re changing my argument to a ridiculous one that’s easier to attack. That’s the definition of a strawman. Might want to stop being a cocksure idiot.

              Also, I told you to stop wasting my time.

                I didn’t make that argument. You did. I just pulled it out and mocked it.

                  Again, I never said that. You’re pretending that i did because it’s easier to attack than what I’m actually saying. A more textbook strawman doesn’t exist.

                  Now leave me alone.

                    You can just stop posting, you know?

                    And no I’m not gonna let you pretend you’ve done anything but lie this entire time.
