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.

You're right, they've actually been succeeding, good catch. Biden's infrastructure bill was insane, and capping drug costs for seniors and diabetics? What a chad. Strengthening Medicare, conditioning grant funding to companies on whether they provide affordable childcare to employees, raising the child tax credit, bailing out pension funds, I mean god damn, check out his climate policy https://laborcenter.berkeley.edu/ira-charts-a-path-that-is-both-pro-climate-and-pro-worker/
The man was pro-labour af at every opportunity and passed a shit load of legislation worth trillions. Greatest president in living memory.
The Child Tax Credit? You mean the one Biden let get killed, doubling child poverty in the process?
I wouldn't mention that if I was you, tounge washing the balls of the Senator from MBNA. Who made sure Trump could win in 2024.
Nice cherry pick, followed by bullshit. Also are you trying to say "tongue", but in an English as a second language kind of way? Kinda sus.
Now, you say "killed", but that's not true because it still exists at its previous level. Biden just boosted it during covid, plus democrats tried to continue it but were a single vote short. Just another example of Dems trying, and Republicans wasting oxygen.
Either way the point still stands, Biden was the most pro-worker president I've ever seen, and the piss babies that disagree are just mad because they don't know shit about politics, or democracy, or anything really.
The Democrats literally controlled both houses. What you're leaving out here is that the Democrats didn't line up and vote for it. And Biden was the leader of the party.
Right, who can forget how he got the PRO act passed?
Little boy, I was pounding the pavement for the Dean campaign while you were probably sucking on your mom's tits. I've seen exactly the rotating villain play in person too many times.
And here we see, like most shitlibs, you can't answer on the record of your precious Team Blue, so your only response is name calling and hysterical "you're not SERIOUS, I'm not listening, Dems are so good!" tantrums. No wonder you idiots keep losing to an insane game show host.
You're grasping at straws and pointing to nothing specific. What is your problem with the PRO act and how does it warrant this rediculous both sides attitude?
I've listed Biden's many achievements several times in this thread and none of the slopulists have been able to dispute them.
Thinking a party majority is the end of the story is the most terminally online take ever. That's not how representative democracy works.
You need to actually learn how the US government works, my sad little GOP enabler.
Insane projections from the peanut gallery
More name calling from BlueMAGA.
Sorry your ideology is such an obvious failure you have no other argument.
Bro, that's all you've been doing this entire time, that's why I said you're projecting, it's so blatant. Every time you bring up anything close to a substantive claim it's weak af and easily dismissed. You have nothing.
I'm not your bro. My substantive claim is the failure of your strategy - and I can just point to the fact that Donald Fucking Trump, an insane game show host, is occupying the White House.
You're a joke and a failure. I left the US already because it was so obvious that idiots like you would destroy any effective resistance to the GOP agenda, and I hate how much you've proved me right.
Lol. So your substantive claim is irrelevant to the topic, which was whether voting for Democrats is worth it. You're trying to pivot to criticizing their electoral strategy because you're terrified to admit that Democrats are far superior to Republicans in incredibly meaningful ways for people all over the world.
The only people making a fuss about electoral strategy are dumbasses who can't understand or care about actual policy, they are only concerned with what shows up on their feed and the vibes they get. Brainrotted consumers at the end of a pipeline who advocate for nothing because their vapid world-view precludes any real understanding.
