Grassroots progressives put Biden in the White House⦠but what do we get for that?
Nothing guaranteed, but at least he gives us the possibility of winning some progressive policies. Unlike when Clinton and Obama fleetingly raised hopes in 1992 and 2008 that progress was possible â only to disappoint us â two new factors give progressive proposals a greater chance this time. First, is Biden himself. A core part of his political makeup is that heâs Joe Labor, coming to the job with a genuine affinity for working stiffs. For Biden, labor rights are not wonkish issues, but about showing gut-level respect for working families, actually caring about the well-being of workers.
