By intervening to crush the railroad union strike, the Democratic administration demoralized the entire labor movement and sent a powerful message that collective bargaining is futile because the government will side with corporations.
-
"when the Democrats crushed that railroad union strike which was going to win what they did was they changed the whole course of our country they made people not believe in strikes they made people not believe in unions they made people not believe in collective bargaining or coming together to work together because the government will just crush it and so there isn't an example of a victory and that's what people need."

Progressive Democrats like AOC prioritize maintaining good relationships with the DC elite (avoiding 'relational harm') over fighting for their constituents, proving they will inevitably betray their base to protect their status.
-
"what it revealed is that even though the members of the so-called Squad … their priority is to not make enemies out of the elite in Washington DC so if that's your priority then it doesn't matter what intentions you started out with … if your priority and if your interest is in not making enemies out of Nancy Pelosi and other powerful people you know much less Joe Biden then you are going to betray doesn't matter what you want to do that's what you're going to end up doing."

The Democratic Party completely failed to support the historic, two-year-long Warrior Met coal miners' strike, betraying its pro-union rhetoric and missing a crucial opportunity to win back working-class voters.
-
"if you're looking for a meaningful place to focus your agage over the way that this strike has turned out look directly at the Democratic party. Imagine hypothetically that we were living in a period of history in which inequality has soared for half a century thanks in large part to the decline of unions and working class bargaining power … imagine further that those after dark four years Democrats were back in power and they had a leader who proclaimed himself to be the most Pro Union president of our lifetime and that he led a party that Fred continuously about how to win back working class voters."
