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.

      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.

          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.

        Then your opinion also doesn’t matter. Also both options are not anywhere near the same to any sane person.
