“JUST WIN, BABY!” Striking Dockworkers Agree to Take a Measly 62 Percent Raise and Not Spoil the Election for Democrats. “Democrats want to win the presidential election. They have fully embraced a complete Al Davis ‘just win, baby’ mentality. If that means some traditional Democratic interest group gets the short end of the stick, there will be time and money to make amends after the election. But no part of the Democratic coalition is allowed to put its personal or parochial priorities ahead of the collective priority of winning the presidential (and down-ticket) elections. There is a discipline, focus, and clear prioritization at work on the Democratic side that simply isn’t matched by the disparate factions on the Republican side.”

UPDATE: Ed Morrissey adds that even if Kamala doesn’t win, there’s still an upside for Democrats:

Obviously, Biden and Kamala Harris needed to deliver for union members while not impacting consumers with shortages and higher prices in the days before an election. But now Biden can wash his hands of the automation issue, and so can Harris if she loses the election. The suspension leaves a stinky turd for Donald Trump if he wins just as he’s about to take office, assuming that ILA and USMX can’t settle on automation restrictions. And the rapid increase in labor costs built into the wage agreement over the next six years will incentivize USMX to expand automation as much as possible, so don’t expect this to get settled without another strike during Inauguration Week.

As with 2017, I’m sure there will be plenty of headaches and bad surprises left by Democrats for Trump to deal with over his first weeks in office if he wins next month.
