Work Reform

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.

Stein was a spoiler and a Russian asset, if voting your conscious meant voting for her your conscious is fuckin stupid.
You can see how refusing to distance herself from genocide left an opening that spoiler candidates could exploit, can't you?
And since you and a bunch of other dopey centrists are gonna imagine that this is somehow an admission of a vote for stein if I don't say this: I voted for harris.
The people shouting the loudest about Gaza historically don't fucking vote, ever. So why would anyone assume catering to them would amount to anything when they already don't vote? It's not complicated and her position on Palestine likely didn't have significant effect on the outcome because anyone that actually votes knew well the republicans would embolden netanyahu. And good that you voted for Harris, now please stop trying to convince people not to vote because that gets republicans elected and republicans are worse because they're unified and they're all as bad as the worst Dems. It's not fucking complicated. Like this is literally the only option that isn't full on violent revolution, societal collapse, or the christofascist technofeudalist dystopia the republicans are ushering in.
I shout pretty loud about the genocide wing's greatest accomplishment, and I vote.
Ok? Good for you, anecdotes aren't data and progressives still mostly don't vote.
Do the republicans your wing of the party keeps pursuing vote for you? Because it seems to me like "you never vote for us" never caused centrists to ignore them.
I don't understand why you refuse to understand that if progressives voted for progressive candidates in democratic primaries in enough numbers then we would have progressive democratic candidates.
Centrists love to imagine that lack of trust is lack of understanding.
If progressives voted progressively we'd have a progressive party. We don't, therefore progressives don't vote.
"If you just voted in the primaries we didn't have because we don't want to listen to you, we would listen to you!"
And we're going in circles. There weren't any cancelled primaries and you're just proving Americans deserve what we're getting. You're clearly asking for more.
You're pretending that what we got were primaries because you like the genocidal candidate who was coronated.
Prove they were rigged or cancelled or whatever the fuck you're all over the place claiming. All you do is repeat Russian republican propaganda. Try having a thought that RT or Fox news didn't give you.
I've already explained my position to less terminally centrist-brained users.
You're a waste of effort since all you do is shout thought-terminating cliches at anyone who says things you don't want to hear.
