It's not just Biden; it's his party, the Democratic Party. As anybody who follows the US labor movement knows, a central reason why there is no working class alternative to the Democrats is that every single sector of the union leadership is determined to keep the unions tied at the hip with - more like be kept on a leash by - the Democrats. The leadership is determined that the unions never become politically independent and start to build a working class party. This includes the "progressive" bureaucrats like Fain and O'Brien. And the academics in labor studies and similar types - those "national experts" like those featured by Marxmail - basically run interference for these progressive bureaucrats. It's one thing to denounce Biden and the Democrats - or even their representatives in the unions - amongst ourselves. It's something else to stand up to the union bureaucrats and their more prominent supporters in person over this central issue. Such confrontation is not easy and may make some people feel uncomfortable, but that doesn't make it unnecessary.
