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.

They really did run a terrible campaign.
Especially the part where they didn't have a primary and picked the VP of the unpopular incumbent.
I fully believe if they had a primary the winner would be president
For those who have forgotten the 2020 primaries, she also had no rizz.
I get it, they were afraid of losing the funds they had raised, but it stood to reason that everyone who wanted Biden to step down would see her as partly responsible too.
I'm a tin hat wearer who doubts the veracity of some of the 2024 election results... So I'm on the fence of whether that would have been different with a more compelling Democratic candidate.
They briefly got some actual traction when Walz was calling Republicans "weird," but then some idiot strategist stepped in and told him to stop. The campaign fell back to being anodyne and uninspiring after that, and then they tried to bring Liz Cheney in and everything just felt like it was going through the motions and expecting to have the thing handed to them on a silver platter.
All part of the riches plan.
If you think it was a coincidence that he beat two women and almost an old man, I have some ocean front property in South Dakota to give you.
Democrats play good cop but they are still cops
Two things felt painfully obvious:
They, being wealthy political class themselves, were completely detached from the people's plight and motivations.
They knew no matter how badly they threw the fight, they could still be chilling back, buying low and selling exponentially high through whatever easily avoidable economic crisis hit our (not their) country next.
