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.

I won't vote or speak up because I'm not American. I'm left of center even for European standards, so quite a bit left of Bernie Sanders.
Harris should have been able to come on stage, fart and belch for 45 minutes and still win the election. Three raccoons in a trench coat should have been able to win the election. No matter what you liked or didn't like, trump was worse on every topic than basically any other human in the US.
And still 77 million Americans decided that the criminal, pussy grabber, Netanyahu lover is the one to lead them for the next 4 years.
But hey, now there's military parades on his birthday and military troops on the streets, and he will build a hotel and golf course once all Palestinians are thrown out of gaza!
We don't have to talk in hypothetical. The democratic party ran on a campaign of kicking immigrants out of the country, continuation of the declining state of late stage capitalism, and state sponsored slaughter of Palestinian children overseas.
They could have not done that. Its as simple as that. Straight forward. They could have run a campaign standing up for human rights and a platform of workers rights. Thats it. Thats the problem. The problem is a far right conservative party vs a fascist party and those are the only 2 parties. Democrats lost the election. If they had campaigned differently, they wouldn't have lost. Demand better from politicians, not for people to vote for the murder of their own families.
Coulda shoulda woulda.
There were 2 options:
That's it. You don't get lollipops and unicorns. Primaries took care of that.
America chose option 2. So be it. Extra murder it is. But once they clean the blood, you get a gaudy hotel!
"Moderate genocide and gay marriage"
Genuinely beyond parody. And your problem isnt that that was the only alternative lmao. Neoliberals say the wildest things
