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.

Ah yes, your argument here includes more genocide finger waggling.

Yes. I'm such a scold. Ruining all your fun.

And extreme slippery slope arguments. Interesting.

I mean, the party keeps moving to the right, and the voters keep being expected to follow. That won't change without the party changing.

Such a scold lol I like that one

Yes, change requires changing, sometimes reform needs to happen as well. I agree that democrats are, on many issues, what republicans should be right now. They are conservative and do not represent most of the country very well. They still dont want to abuse, torture, and send people to death camps. Oh, and Im sure voting against a rapist was hard.

Voting against someone as opposed to for someone is awful and definitely does result in a slide to the right. Saying it cant be overcome or being very negative about it does nothing.

Republicans have no business supporting genocide either.

Yeah, playing arms broker for the guy bombing hospitals was enough for them.

Oh, and Im sure voting against a rapist was hard.

No, that was the easy part. Having to constantly tell centrists that I voted for harris because they dismiss all criticism of the party as disloyalty or trump support or being a russian bot or whatever they've imagined because they can't imagine valid criticism existing, now that's the challenging bit.

Saying it cant be overcome or being very negative about it does nothing.

Being realistic about the challenges in the way instead of demanding rictus grins of positivity while the party works its magic against the left again isn't "saying it can't be overcome."
