and I want to be clear - this means no aid to Ukraine either. We are broke as it is.

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.

Short answer is no. Democrats are equally beholden to AIPAC (Israeli) and corporate interests . Until you reverse the United Citizens supreme court case, you americans will continue to be controlled by the billionaires and Israelis.
This primary is proving the opposite. Progressive dems are winning by campaigning on being against AIPAC.
but Democrat “corporate centre” is against these progressives so my answer is still no.
The point is we can replace them.
About the only hope I have left right now.
Was just discussing this with a friend. Establishment Dems are moving center (80s right) and refusing to pursue progressive ideas because they want to court the trump voter. Fuck them all.
FYI, those people lost control of the DNC in 2024.
The real test will be whether they actually deliver anything - particularly on ending aid to ISRAEL, not, as Bernie Lib-Zio Sanders would say, "the Netanyahu government". My expectation for the genocide in Palestine is that empire would ultimately set up Netanyahu as their fall guy.
My estimate is that the delivering party is going through a similar crisis as the republican party had with the tea party. The republican party ended up absorbing the tea party which led to a further shift to the right.
In a similar vein the DSA is becoming a significant power within the democratic party and even AIPAC money isn't saving the establishment. The old guard is losing the fight and I imagine in a desperate attempt to cling to power some of them will take some of the DSA positions. I'm sure they'll try to keep AIPAC funding but I hope people find it such a divisive point that it becomes untenable.
