Almost like you get what you vote for.
They are getting a whiff of the armageddon they voted for.
I know the history. Both parties are pro business though so I'm struggling, in this case, to see how any Republican would have handled it differently.
I don't see where my choice comes into it in this case.
Trump removed all sorts of regulations for railroads.
And Biden fixed all that?
My point is neither have the incentive to do so because both are pro business.
Your point is to continue with a series of false equivalencies and whataboutism. This is what it sounds like this:
“You know that X happened, right.”
“Oh yeah, did you know that they did Y? So there.”
Why should I believe that politicians have not been bought and are actually representing our best interests instead of just representing money?
Truly, I don't understand. Sure, Biden stopped the strike, forcefully. What evidence is there that Trump, or any other president that wanted a second term, wouldn't do the same?
That's what I'm not getting here.
And deflection.
It's a sincere question. I'm saying that I don't understand something. You're welcome to choose to not engage. That's fine, but this is not honest discussion.
The original reply said it's almost like you get with who you vote for. I don't understand how either party would have handled this differently. My statements route from this lack of understanding. If you choose to call it what about is them or whatever that's fine I don't really mind I guess but what I'm saying is that I have lost faith in either party to handle this type of situation in a way that benefits the people rather than corporations.
Maybe I've made some assumptions here for example I assumed that that person was saying that Biden is the direct cause of this, you get who you vote for and Biden caused this.
I'm saying is I don't have faith that the specific situation will be any different with any other politician, regardless of party would have made this better. ITT, someone pointed out that Trump removed relevant regulations. I remember hearing about that when he was in office.
I am expressing a disappointment in seeing 2 succive administrations specifically making rail freight more risky (Trump) and then riskier and at the same time siding with large industry.
I suppose I could've just said "it do be like that"
Great deflection. Whataboutisms are so lazy. I hope you get better.
You might be focusing on the reaction rather than precautions.
We don't know what caused this derailment, but I'd wager it's some corner being cut so business owners can make just a little bit 🤏 more profit.
You know, based on history.
Oh that's interesting. I didn't know that either Republicans or Democrats improved regulation in such a way that might prevent this kind of accident. Not sarcastic
