The United Farm Workers on Tuesday announced its endorsement of President Joe Biden for reelection, saying that the Democrat has proven throughout his life to be an “authentic champion” for workers and their families, regardless of race or national origin.
The farm workers’ union was co-founded by Cesar Chavez, the late grandfather of Julie Chavez Rodriguez, who Biden named as his 2024 campaign manager. Her father, Arturo Rodriquez, is a past UFW president.
Julie Rodriguez and “special guests” were expected to formally announce the endorsement later Tuesday at Muranaka Farms in the city of Moorpark in southern California.
Gotta admit this was one hell of a PR stunt! Impressive it actually worked. Considering democrats as a whole are center right on an international scale it couln’t have been easy to convince working class folks they actually give a damn.
But PR stunt aside, it still is one hell of a positive message in this incredibly fucked political landscape. Kudos to Biden.
I won’t hold my breath but if he starts pushing for some of the policy decisions he claims to stand by I am an independent progressive and I don’t have anything personal against Biden. But I don’t like neoliberals. I need more than words to support Biden at this point… and trump? What the actual fuck who is this asshat? Would never even consider voting for him under any conditions, ever.
is Biden showing the Democrats how to be the party of Labor again? can it be THIS EASY?!
I need to see Biden passing 15$ mjnimum wage before I vote for him. Or universal health care lol. Or anything close to what fdr would have gotten according to the news I guess I dunno
This “take” is what’s wrong with American politics. If Biden can’t push either of those through an opposition House that would never do anything he wants, you will actively enable the other side, who would undo all of the good done, to win?
Your take is actually what’s wrong. I’m not voting for the other guy just because I’m not voting for Biden
What’s wrong with our politics is the fucking corporate boot lickers like you who watch politicians like Biden and most others receive legalized bribes and yet you continue to suck his dick.
get that old man cock out of your mouth it’s not a good look
Biden has literally gotten nothing done. But you treat him like FDR
Quit smoking crack
I hope you enjoy the increase you’ll get under the Fascists.
Corporate oligarchy or facism…… if those are the only two options, I no longer give a fuck and my ballot will be blank under the options for president. I vote every year but I don’t vote for neoliberals or asshats.

Then your opinion also doesn’t matter. Also both options are not anywhere near the same to any sane person.
You don’t see how fascism would be significantly worse for certain groups of people? LGBTQ, Jews, people of color, etc?
shhh the white straight “leftists” are explaining to us ungratefuls how it’s not bigoted for them to hinge their helping to secure our rights on meeting their increasingly niche demands.
These folks never seem to have figured out that collective bargaining is meant to be a “punching up” move. Or that “working class solidarity” is a lot easier to achieve when the entire working class has a common experience to rally solidarity around as opposed to a lot of them wishing they only had working class experience problems to stress over.
I hope you purity is of comfort while they round People up.
I mean whatever he does it’ll be better than Trump or whoever republicans are gonna nominate.
I’m done voting for the better of two evils. I will not vote for politicians who do not support policy I care about. And right now Biden was right. Nothing has fundamentally changed. His corporate donors approve, but that’s not how you get my vote. And I know I’m not alone.
