Ah yes, the solution to bad people in power is to not even bother trying to vote for change, doing nothing will totally solve this problem.
It certainly solved it when they did exactly that the last elections. I mean, israhell is not genociding gaza anymore, and prices are down... right?
a lot of people assuming that the implied message of the meme is "Charlie Brown should stop trying to kick the ball" instead of "Lucy should stop pulling the ball away"
The best solution would be for Charlie Brown to kick Lucy and run the ball himself. (This is a metaphor for primarying sitting Democrats.)
Vote. Vote in local things. Spend a few minutes reading about encumbants or ballot measures. Don't be spurred to inaction.
The United States is a Electoral Oligarchy, not a democratic republic.
the GOP are too dangerous right now
Right now? When are they NOT dangerous?
Americans need to organize themselves out of 2 party system. It's the only way and funnily enough - it would be a much more of an american system because US is all about competition, right?
"the left should have a united front and stop dividing itself!"
So.... Vote for the one viable opposition party?
"No not like that"
The Democrats are a right-wing party.
They are the secularist wing of the American Capitalist Party, and the Republicans are the theocratic wing.
They aren't the fucking opposition, and they're certainly not the fucking left.
Vote blue, no matter who, unless it's a popular socialist.
Not a chance I'll ignore what they support just because they're "blue". That two party bullshittery is how America became like it is.
Vote against AIPAC, no matter who they back.
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.
