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.

Lesser evil does not exist, only evil. A small amount of acceptable evil allows an incrementally larger evil the next time. Compounded over 50 years we have our current political climate.
That's still not a reason to refuse to vote against the GOP. Why should we accept the worst of the worst immediately when they can be delayed?
It's like saying that since medicine won't make you immortal you should just eat a bullet now and be done with it.
How much time do you want for your progress? Liberals have been making that same demand for decades, your party will constantly provide you with things to vote against in order to keep the oligarchy, which includes them, in power.
So, eat the bullet?
I get that things are bad, but harm reduction is better than just bitching about the Dems.
There has been no harm reduction. Symbolic victories are all they are capable of giving the working class. The wealthy get all the economic victories. Symbolics don't pay the bills
Allowing Trump back into office fixed their problems how? It's worse than ever, and worse than it would have been under Biden. Ignoring everything else he's done, just the tarrifs and invasions have gutted the working classes through skyrocketing cost of living.
The problem is that liberals see Trump as an anomaly and not a byproduct of the system that produces someone like him. Regardless of whether it was actually him imposing these kind of policies or someone else, it was bound to happen. Harris herself spoke vehemently about opposing Iran and defending Israel at any cost. She spoke of having the most lethal military force in the world. The only difference in the rhetoric is the person's mouth that it's coming out of
Demanding harm reduction instead of listening to the voters lost you the election. Do better or keep losing.
