Apparently they got what they were going to strike for in the end anyway?

I dont understand this situation at all, so I wanted to run it all by you all since Biden breaking the strike was a breaking point for many of you. But my friend (who is nominally a leftist, but a baby one and a lesser-evilism friendly one) uses this statement as a defense against the idea that the strike break should be levied against Biden the way it has been.

So what are your thoughts?
