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.

I voted for kamala lol. If they wouldn't let bernie run we would've avoided trump all together. They ousted David Hogg when he was trying to make actual progressive changes. They are not your friend, they just don't say the quiet parts out loud.

Put your faith in them and you will only be disappointed.

Wishful thinking, the internet is not everyone. I'd love it if he'd ran, but there's no way to know if he'd have performed better, and people turned out for his opponent in the primaries.

Yeah hindsight is always 20/20 and maybe trump still would've won but I do think there was a strong chance he could've won with all the grassroots canvassing and a track record of standing up for civil liberties.

Both parties serve the same master, it's just a different version of "good cop, bad cop".

I mean I would much, much rather be locked in a room with someone playing the good cop role.

Me too lol. But I know the bad cop is just outside the door and he's gonna come back in eventually.

Bingo. Bernie lost the popular vote in both primaries. Not sure why it's so hard for people to accept this.

I like Bernie. I'd vote for him for president. But my wishes aren't reality. He wasn't popular on a scale necessary to win.
