that and a bunch of people on twitter who like Bernie are still really mad that Buttigieg won the Iowa primary and is now transportation secretary and see this as an opportunity to blame him. Of course the vast majority of people find that an incredibly confusing and asinine line of thought to follow.

Can you please please please take a moment and really be honest with yourself and think about how you and the rest of the mainstream media would be responding to this if pete was a republican appointed by a republican president

Can you source this claim or is it just your projection of the situation? This doesn’t read as empirical.

Huh, because from my view, rail workers expressed concern over unsafe working conditions, complained about cost-cutting measures, negotiations were shut down without giving into demands by Biden and Buttegeig.

Then, a safety issue that was mentioned by union leaders[0] contributes to a train derailment days later. These seem very related to me, can you enlighten me as to why they're not?
