Biden continued to work with them after the fact and got them the sick days and shit they were looking for
Nope. He only got them sick day(s). They wanted other things, mainly safety features so trains don't crash as often. The sick days part was the most emphasized because it's easier for laymen to understand, but Biden did not give them what they wanted.
Again, left-center is included under the general classification "left wing", which NYT is absolutely not. Are you being willfully obtuse?
