1. Please don't hold a sign.

I couldn't bear the Photoshop memes.

[Mr.Bill]

27. Very good point.

I think it would be cool to just show up with a bunch of Pizzas for all the folks on the picket line. Who wouldn't understand and love that?

I'm impressed!

20. Welcome to our DU family.

Many of us here are not in the least surprised, were hoping, in fact, that he would do just that.

5. Great. He promised to be the most pro-union president in history.

Nothing this big is simple or easy, every step in every direction having big adverse consequences that have to be foreseen and weighed, but for a president to join a picket line is taking a strong stand.

6. Simply put: A fair share of the value the workers helped create

Don't get bogged down in the details of how much someone made back in nineteen-aught-ninety-three or the cost of flibberdigibbets. The auto companies have made a LOT of money since the taxpayers bailed them out. They've even spent $66 billion buying back their own stock. All that wealth was created by the workers; they deserve their fair share of the value.

7. O my! That is terrific!!

I don’t think that has ever happened before.

I’ve been rereading Howard Zinn and this is diametrically opposed to most Presidents. Most politicians are there to, at minimum, maintain the status quo, and preferably build state governance to aid the advancement of capital and the oligarchic class that possesses it.

8. This is great news.

[onecaliberal]

9. Great news!

10. Oh, God. Joe just made my day!!!

[senseandsensibility]

13. Good move

You love to see it.

[BaronChocula]

15. He just trumped trump

who thought he would swing by the picket line to complain about how the election was rigged and perhaps further incriminate himself.

[LoisB]

16. Good on you, President Biden.

[obnoxiousdrunk]

17. I hope the

men and women of the UAW endorse Joe for President in return.

[aeromanKC]

18. Which side are you on!!??

I'm with Joe!!

[bluestarone]

19. Good news.

I would love to see some huge celebrity show up every week!

[AllaN01Bear]

21. thats my prez, would dumpster fire do that? ,NO

[musclecar6]

22. Dumpster fire

Only does what benefits him. He doesn’t give a fuck about anybody else, ever.

[llmart]

23. One more amazing thing that our President is doing.

He's "walking the talk" when he promised to support unions. Good on him! The guy is like the energizer bunny. He just keeps on going. I haven't seen him ride a golf cart anywhere yet.

[BadgerMom]

24. Another reason I'm still ridin' with Biden!

[BigmanPigman]

25. The #1,000,001 reason

why I love Biden. Every day he does something that makes the country better and helps ALL people.

[Wild blueberry]

26. Wonderful!

Lifelong union supporter here.
Thank you.

[TomDaisy]

28. LOVE IT

[LudwigPastorius]

29. Hell yeah.

Solidarity!

34. Why is it Democratic

Presidents seem to do more for the common people, the Repukes seem to want to grind others under their heels ? We have the same problem here the Conservative Party would do the same, piss on the working stiffs.

[The Bopper]

30. One way

In America today, Big businesses only goal, is to make as big a profit as possible with the lowest costs. They will always fight paying their workers any kind of pay, let alone a good middle class wage and the ONLY ones working for the workers are unions. My area of the country has many union shops that pay decent wages and force the non-union shops to pay their people more than they want and complain and fund an anti union newspaper. Our current local republican representatives are anti union but only state it when they are in a safe group..

31. k&r

[peggysue2]

32. Good one on him!

Biden has always been a people person reaching out, empathizing, embracing. The President walking the picket line should be a big boost to everyone.

And isn't Agent Orange also flying to Michigan on Tuesday??

LOL. Take it to him, Joe!

[housecat]

33. hadn't heard "agent orange" before. Perfect!
