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.

I asked this question elsewhere, but who did you vote for President in the Democratic Party Primaries in 2024?
Edit: I'm going to assume the downvoters don't like coming up against the fact that there was no Presidential Candidates on the ballot in the 2024 primaries, but can't handle that their pithy "Just vote in the primaries" isn't really valid lol.
You seem to hung up on the fact that presidential nominee that both DNC and the democratic party voters chose got health issues and the party chose his running mate and a person who got second place on primaries to be the next candidate, instead of starting the primaries 3 months before the election.
And that's technically true, but what to you think they should've done instead? Or are you doing it from the perspective of a pure internet argument? Like, "see, sometimes the candidate you chose gets sick therefore the democracy doesn't exist" type shit?
I think Biden should have kept his word and planned to be a 1 term president. Maybe if he had stuck to his stated plan, we would have had a different outcome. You know in opposition of covering up his health problems until it was too late?
I agree with that. I believe the plan was that he will be relatively alive for long enough to win an election and then step down later allowing Harris to actually fill the role. I understand the logic behind it, he's the "safe" candidate, incumbent always has an advantage, and they correctly identified the issue of running woman of colour as a democratic candidate, American voters are, for some reason, aren't as cool with that as they should be by now.
In the end I agree that they should've predicted his health problems earlier, but we know that on hindsight.
There definitely was a 2024 primary. You can complain about how it went down, but you should stop acting like it never happened
I didn't say there wasn't a primary. I asked who did you vote for President in said primary?
I didn't vote in the 2024 primary because the Democrats had an incumbent candidate, and never in my life has either major party weakened their own position by running viable candidates against them in the primary. Because that would be really stupid.
And then we lost...
