Work Reform
16401 readers

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

MODERATORS
The problem is that they keep alienating their voters and losing to fascists, but refuse to ever change.
I totally agree, they should stop alienating the majority of voters by trying to appeal to radicals that actively smear the party.
Democrats will never accept that they cannot win republican votes by betraying the left.
First of all, they don't betray the left on 99% of issues, it's just that populist leftists consider anything less than maximal alignment "betrayal".
Second, Trump's support is plummeting thanks to his disastrous administration, Democrats are poised to sweep the midterms, and it's a safe bet the next 2 years will be even worse and result in a win in 2028. The slopulist voting block can shove it tbh, they aren't needed.
Don't lie. They betray the left on wages, worker protections, immigration, trans rights, cannabis legalization, healthcare, wall street reform, police reform, abortion, the Iraq war, the bank bailouts, childcare, family leave, voting rights, I can keep going but you get my point.
Not only do they do all of that shit, they support an unconscionable genocide in Gaza.
Not only that, they do everything they can to ratfuck any progressive candidate.
The genocide wing said that in 2024 and now they blame the left.
my dude, 2 or 3 people were most of these. i don't blame bernie for senator schlubb's actions.
I'm half convinced crab is a kremlin bot, his entire comment history is just don't vote for democrats.
My dude, democrats always find just enough turncoats. If we're talking percentages here, legislators defect at a higher rate than the party accepts from voters.
Oh yeah. Solid agree. That is a problem.
Hopefully either they get their shit together or, by some miracle, there's a viable third party.
But the shit sandwich is that yeah, they are the only political party with any weight that can go against Republicans.
Hopefully the weight of the party is no longer sufficient to keep progressives from winning the primaries the party still permits.
Because centrists are never gonna change, at least not for the better.
If the weight of the Democratic party isn't sufficient anymore, it's because Republicans have taken control over everything. And since they are being the fascist party, I doubt they would let any progressive party gain enough ground to do anything after that.
The weight of the party was not sufficient to stop Mamdani. And yet Republicans do not control New York City.
Mamdani is a Democrat and ran as one. You can't claim him for team third party.
And the "you don't like the centrist wing so you must be a 3rd party guy" assumption rears its ugly head.
The party fought against Mamdani. They failed. Sex pest Cuomo lost.
Ok but you can't say "all Democrats bad" then when someone points out a Democrat you like say "that one doesn't count"
Where did I say "all democrats bad"?
The centrist democrats who run the party are bad. When I refer to the party, I'm not referring to those people the party goes out of its way to avoid representing. They only get let into the tent via the servants' entrance long enough to vote and are then kicked out.
