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.

Found the article
Not quite the numbers the person thought
Let's compare "Support" to "somewhat unfavorable" + "unfavorable" + "Clearly Unfavorable" + "Against". Statistic brought to you by yet another billionaire lol.
Did you even look at the breakdown? Your comment makes no sense...
They show a pic of Mamdani and then report on statewide feelings. At a glance, one would think that those in NYC aren't supportive. Which was the idea they're pushing.
You'd think there´d be a deep interest in EXPOSING all the horribly unpopular policies the DSA is proposing... yet, tragically, the article does not even mention a single one. Sad.
Edit: Most political parties will poll lower than their policies because people are tribal and don´t want to support the "other" team. So you take a poll on a THIRD party and what you have is a statistic that tells you nothing you don´t already know, but is a little propaganda point.
