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.

Did you not read anything I fucking said? People WANT TO VOTE, but every time they DO, the DNC, which is supposed to be doing their fucking job, REFUSES TO DO IT. That's why they're all getting fucking primaried, which is exactly what you butthurt fucking liberals claim we should do, and yet you're still acting as if we aren't doing anything.
As of RIGHT NOW, the centrist wing of the DNC causes the exact same harm as Republicans, because they are letting them do whatever they want without any actual, meaningful resistance. That makes them just as guilty. The solution isn't to stop voting like you think this fucking comic is saying, it's for the DNC to stop being a bunch of assholes and not doing anything with the votes they obtained through emotional manipulation.
This comic isn't saying anything beyond the DNC tricks voters.
That sentiment makes people not vote. I've seen it happen THREE TIMES now. The fact this meme even exists on this forum a few months before an election let's me know it is absolutely intentional with a goal of harming voter turnout. If you don't see that, you're lying through your teeth.
They're literally all not getting primaried. The issues in the DNC are the old guard who is being replaced and some new comers(Fetterfuck) who are proving to not be what we need. There is a laundry list of fresh new DNC people who are definitely on the ball.
Pointing out anything but the current success of the Democratic party is an attempt to not make people vote and you cannot convince me otherwise because I'VE SEEN IT HAPPEN THREE FUCKING TIMES NOW.
It's the whole blue maga shit, that's not a real thing. There is no blue maga. Calling it that is an attempt to assert equivalency and dissuade voting.
The comic is right. The DNC does trick voters. They should stop.
Yeah, it's not the betrayal, it's the people who aren't happy with it.
But why don't you guys understand this is harmful not helpful.
This isn't criticism, there is no healthy take away to consider. It is blanket propaganda with a goal that OP posts on here from reddit using a bot.
Why don't you understand that the comic isn't the problem instead of the behavior it correctly describes?
The takeaway that you don't want to listen to is "stop betraying your voters."
The comic is literally the same propaganda crap I've seen since 2015.
That isn't the takeaway lol. The takeaway to the intended audience is "Dem bad" I literally watched this sink the last election. Are you taking crazy pills??
Centrists dismiss all criticism as propaganda.
How do you differ propaganda and criticism?
I'd say criticism is eye opening, insightful, educates you and even probably presents solutions.
You're right. This post definitely offers solutions 🙄
It's got a silly message a child can interpret and walk away. It encapsulates a complex concept into a simple "Dem bad" motive. And literally read the comments, people are in here talking about not supporting the party. Don't vote for them. They won't help anyway.
OP literally posts this from reddit using a bot. He isn't filtering the media, he doesn't even care he's just sending content here.
On top of that all. This criticism has been said for decades probably even longer. Nothing fresh here. Nothing worthy of thought.
It's fucking propaganda.
If the party wants credibility, it should start being credible. There's the solution you're refusing to listen to.
Affordable care act, wallstreet reforms, created both the department of education and energy, same sex/interracial marriage protections, multiple attempts at drug repricing/negotiations, multiple climate investments, reproductive rights along with saving the economy twice.
Maybe you should be more educated.
Was 15 years ago and hasn't been improved since. And started out as a Heritage Foundation policy.
Oh thank god wall street isn't out of control.
1979 and 1977 respectively. Come on. Are you gonna give current democrats credit for the New Deal as well?
Were put in place by the courts and will likely be repealed by same since democrats like Manchin keep voting to approve justices like Kavanaugh and Barrett.
You don't get credit for pretending to try.
Biden bragged about record oil production.
Democrats refused to do away with the filibuster to protect Roe. When it died, they leapt into action within minutes and sent out fundraising texts asking for $15.
the first time, they bailed out banks and there were no consequences for defrauding entire generations. The second time, they told people who couldn't afford food that the economy was doing great because billionaires were doing great.
You should stop conflating contentment with education.
Thanks for proving my point about exactly how leftists are never satisfied.
Completely neglected the space in between. The repeals of the Dodd-Frank act. Attacks on Obamacare. Stacking court systems. Election fraud.
Those mean nothing. We won't even discuss how difficult it must be to get an inch especially with such a pathetic pants pissing base such as yourself who only wants to kick sand and cry.
Satisfaction is stagnation at best.
The contempt for the base is already evident, but it's nice to see it spelled out. If you had less of it, maybe the contempt wouldn't be mutual.
You're the same personality who cries about Biden's gas prices but don't have shit to say now.
I didn't cry about Biden's gas prices. I griped that he bragged about record oil production. You know, the opposite of that.
Centrists don't listen because it's beneath them.
If you think someone criticizing the genocide wing of the party makes people not vote then the party was too weak to survive anyways. If criticism makes candidates lose, then Trump would have never made it to the White House.
Your anecdote doesn't mean shit, you corporate bootlicking shill.
What the fuck are you even talking about? Ramblings of a bonehead
