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.

And in the meantime?
Make a difference on the local level. Get involved, find a candidate worth supporting and help
And what about the federal level? Just let Republicans do install Fascism while you're working on voting the Mamdanis into cities?
I don't care enough to continue this. It's not my country, do whatever then 🤷♂️
Huh... You cared enough to complain, but when it's time to actually look at the reality of the situation you no longer care? Funny how that happens.
Nah, you're just looking for a fight. No reason to go down that road.
Looking for a fight? By asking you questions about the physical reality we live in...?
The reality we live in indicates that second worst doesn't win elections. The electorate isn't going to change. If the party wants to win (which is doubtful given their actions), the party has to adapt to that reality.
People were complaining about either party for 50 years, saying they're voting for the "lesser evil" all the time. Not sure what your point is.
As for the party adapting - are you joking? We're talking about the USA. The party doesn't adapt to what the voters want, the party adapts to what the corporations want.
Voters can have an impact (New York will, hopefully, pave the way), but your choice is still "lesser evil or literal fascists".
As I have explained many times before, I vote for democrats. They cannot win as lesser evil anymore. The electorate has changed and that no longer works. The party must adapt or keep losing. That's just reality. I know they won't change and I know they'll keep losing regardless of how I vote. And I know that I'll keep being blamed for every loss by centrists who don't care how anyone votes as long as they don't try to hold their politicians accountable.
The party knows what it takes to win and refuses to do it. The electorate won't change just because you think they should.
Of course they refuse to do it! They need to cater to their bosses - the corporations! But I already explained that in the other thread with you, so I won't repeat it here.
Then they will continue losing. I don't like it any more than you do.
