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.

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.
