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.

Maybe you should argue for a different method of voting instead, then. Liberal lesser evil didnt give us the orange diaper dumpster, the two party system based on money and gerrymandering is what did it.
Compulsory voting + Ranked choice. Are you for something like that, or are you against it? It would be a great thing to continue promoting, and its much less hateful and directly confrontational.
Id love to debate but it would just be about logical fallacies that arent really related to your intent, as your intent is expressed well.
Any new method of voting has to be put in place by people we elect. We won't meet the prerequisites without non-evil candidates, and it's clear that you don't want anyone to say anything less than worshipful about the ones we have.
I dont like any of the ones we have elected, at least not for a long time. "Both sides"-ism is what lead us to fascism, though. Worship? Thats a weird deflection and assumption. "One group isnt shooting at us, they suck at their job, we only get a little healthcare and rights under them" vs "lets take over the capital and kill everyone" is a pretty easy choice, if you dont have the memory of a goldfish.
As for new methods of voting and who would put them in place, the voting rights act was effectively removed. Itll be a very different group of people you have no desire to vote for. If you wont vote against a fascist, you must be one. Otherwise you wouldnt sit at their table.
Democrats capitulating to fascists repeatedly over the course of decades got us here. You're blaming people who noticed.
I voted for harris. You blame all criticism for fascism, regardless of how anyone voted.
Blaming people who noticed and did... what exactly? I consider democrats to be what republicans probably should be. I also think we have gotten repeatedly screwed. Ford v Dodge, Cit U, "trickledown ec.", etc, those are extremely obvious indicators of Rulers vs Peasants being the goal over and over. Both sides are supported by different evils, both are still evil. Both want some form of a surveillance state. Both want to reduce the power of the voter. Senators exist still. Thats a giant middle finger to people who arent born with a silver spoon already in their intestinal tract.
Who tried to warn that the party was alienating too many voters to win.
