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.

Remember Afghanistan? Iraq? Syria, Libya, Yemen, Ukraine? And also Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, and a dozen others? And all the proxy wars and "interventions" I'm forgetting about or that never made the news?
Pre-Trump America was less blatant in its warmongering. It made the effort to build "international consensus" before bombing the fuck out of poor brown people. And it preferred to made economic warfare, through sanctions, which don't make headlines when they kill poor brown people.
Harris would have killed Iranians with sanctions rather than bombs. And perhaps you think that makes a difference. But whether a little girl dies of starvation from American sanctions, or is blown up by American bombs, she's still fucking dead.
Fuck, Trump's "random bombing go" strategy let Iran close the Strait and made America take the blame for it - and if that lets Iran negotiate with the world and end Western sanctions using the Strait as leverage, Trump's war might end up saving more lives than it kills.
As for migrants in cages: Trump made no new laws. Trump made no new policies, even. Trump enforced existing laws more harshly and blatantly and publicly than America previously had. And Harris promised to do the same fucking thing in her campaign.
What's happening to migrants today is what the American people wanted. The killings, the beatings, the disappearances, the private prisons and forced labor and inhumane conditions, all of it.
Only we saw it happen openly, on the streets in Minneapolis, in front of a million cell phones and cameras, instead of out in the Texas desert where the only cameras belong to the Border Patrol. And seeing the Border Patrol treat middle class white protesters like immigrants was too much for some people.
Putting migrants in cages is what America wants. America just doesn't want to see the cages. It hurts their feelings.
bull fucking shit.
get fucked.
people like you will do anything to drag down the left so it seems as bad as the pedos and war criminals. get fucked with a red hot jackhammer you equivocating dirtbag
Crying because your shithole of a country was finally exposed for what they are?
No tears here baby, at least I can see the difference between trying on the left and fascism on the right. You keep voting for trump, get the life you deserve.
The current DNC is not left. They're right wingers who prefer the death and destruction they cause to have an air of respectability. You wanna go back to brunch and ignore the fact your side bombs brown children and commits war crimes too. You were confronted with the actual reality of what America is and you got butthurt about it.
Also, I'm not American. I'm celebrating the fact you got what you fucking deserved. The only destiny America deserves is balkanization. You hate Trump because he dropped the mask, not because he's an evil fascist. You are perfectly content in allowing America to be what it has been for the last 80 years as long as YOUR GUY is in charge and committing war crimes and putting migrants on cages outside of your view.
Get fucked, gringo. You'll watch helplessly as progressives colonize your party and push you to the side.
That's what you have to tell yourself to sleep at night. You've doomed so fucking many with your petty, childish bullshit, because you had to pout and have your tantrum.
Nice fucking job.
sit and spin racist dickface.
goddamn the entire concept of the new deal is lost on you. civil rights, didn't happen. 40 hr work week? nuh uh. sure buddy.
you fucking pogues.
