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.

At least you eat the chicken and change it to make it less awful. Stomaching ≠ supporting, which you have indicated already with your statement of having voted for Harris.

That argument was enough for me, but not sufficient to win. It will not be sufficient to win going forward. I don't want this to happen again. I don't want to be strongarmed into voting for a reprehensible piece of genocidal shit only to have the genocide cult blame me anyway.

Absolutely.

I don't want this to happen again. I don't want to be strongarmed into voting for a reprehensible piece of genocidal shit only to have the genocide cult blame me anyway.

I think you just assume more people are pro-genocide than there are. Its just about combativeness, a good position is undermined when its put out negatively. You have good positions (imo) other than thinking a ton of people are pro-genocide/indifferent(and thus pro-genocide) and ... maybe that their minds arent able to be changed? Or something, its very negative nonetheless. Thats part of protesting. Changing minds. And informing. A lot of people pay zero attention to politics.

"Schumer has been around forever so he must care" ... and then mysteriously a democrat (totally not a scapegoat) will vote with the republicans for some new evil shit.

We were forced into the 2 party system even further than just republicans and democrats, which was already a 2 way divide (ignoring eeeeevvveryone else) to support Netanyahu or support Netanyahu and multiple other dictators, along with re-electing our own Goodly Bestest Dictator.

Centrist leadership has made it clear that they support only genocide and oppose only progressives. Anyone who gets behind that likes what they see.
