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.

Lol.
Another low effort post to try to dissuade people from voting, or at least from voting for the only party that can defeat a literal traitor party.
Fuck off.
Vote blue, or get more of what we're getting now. And I don't want to hear any dipshits say it would be the same. Cuz that's a real dipshit thing to say.
Please learn the context of the comic before making embarrassing comments. This isn't about dissuading people from voting or voting third party. Lucy is yanking the ball away every time Charlie tries to kick it. This symbolizes the DNC making promises and breaking them and refusing to do their job even as people vote for them over and over.
People want to vote blue AND have them do their job. That's why all of your centrist candidates on the house and senate are getting primaried.
But I don't expect a member of the genocide wing to understand that.
This is literally what makes people not vote. It's telling them the Dems and Republicans are the same. Which isn't true.
No, it's telling them that our "labor party" is diametrically opposed to labor. Which is true.
Union membership was over 40% in the 1970s, it's now down to less than 10%.
Our wages and benefits have fallen drastically for most workers in the past 50 years... we are now surpassed by EASTERN EUROPE.
(Poland pays a bit less, but has many more benefits, for just one example. Paid maternity leave, vacation, health care... our "labor party" is an INTERNATIONAL EMBARRASSMENT)
You start off your assumptions on the entire wrong footing.
There is no labor party in the US. There is no Christian or religious party. There isn't any specific party.
It's individuals. There is more variety within the Democratic party to offer solutions than Republicans right now. That's it. That's why I vote Dem.
Once they're able to apply a single word to something and influence how you feel about it. You're fuckin toast.
You and everyone else here seem to be under the assumption Democrat means something. It doesn't. Stop paying attention to parties, pay attention to individuals and weigh your options realistically. People, leftists especially, cry their eyes out when a politician isn't exactly what they want.
