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.

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:

  • moderate genocide, some student debt relief and gay marriage
  • extreme genocide, accepting jets from foreign governments, putting trans people on a list and deporting citizens to El Salvador.

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
