Why would they choose to strike at this time though

The contract is up. Simple as that. There was a short one a few years ago over pay raises I believe. This time seems like there's a disagreement over pensions. The rail is running, but I think buses, the L, Trolley, and Broad Street are toast as of an hour ago.

It's really hard to say, because I can't tell how much of the 'close but definitely on track to win' is just hyper-partisan hardening and how much is being lost to inherent misogyny.

Biden doesn't have the deep roots in the black community the way Hillary does (although he does enjoy a 100% approval rating in the Brontosaurus household) so he might struggle a little more in the South. It would probably be even easier for idiots to do the "both sides are the saaaaame" routine since it would be white dude v. white dude, but Biden is one of the top two most charismatic dudes high-fiving in this picture so he would have absolutely crushed Trump at the retail politics game.

The problem here is that Biden's main audience appeal is to... people who are largely on the Trump train as a demographic, so this would be an election over white man issues, and I suspect Trump would have the advantage there. I also think there'd be more of a "they're both clowns" attitude. I also doubt Diamond Joe would be getting the "everyone who isn't a white man" vote quite as decisively, since while Trump has chased them away, Hillary has been able at receiving them.

Like IMO you'd be handing over "no misogyny malus" for "every other advantage Hillary has."
