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.

And why did 1/3rd abstain? Could it have possibly something to do with the total lack of capability of putting forwards a slightly likeable candidate with slightly likeable policy? What was participation in voting for Mamdani?

  1. Biden/Harris were a whole hell of a lot more likeable than Donald Trump.

  2. Do you think I, and many millions of others, adored the idea of Biden or Harris? Of course not. But we still voted for them anyway because DONALD TRUMP WAS THE OTHER OPTION.

People who abstained are pathetic. Period.

Ohh, keep going, if you think hard enough you might actually get there. I believe in you! Deeper, why did people not like the candidates? Why didn't they find the policy likable, despite 99% of americans being unable to properly even understand what policies the democrats support, and the fact that in independent studies where you hide partisan sides, they massively DO support policies that democrats champion?
