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.

Why wouldn't I wanna hear that? What's my motive here?
The DNC to be frank is fucking clueless. It only wants money, it chose Hillary and Kamala because of financial incentive. But also within the party are the only individuals willing and openly stating how election funding needs to change.
Obama tries to get healthcare. Biden tries to get infrastructure. Both revive a struggling economy. Both had an America only mentality and as much as people wanna try to sell you that they were warmongers or imperialists, as presidents they were very domestic focused. Most international policy and issue came to their feet or existed before them.
Most women, people of color and half decent politicians are Democrats.
But this mentality that Dem bad, is what loses elections every time because nobody will discuss success within the party. They focus on the bad. So the establishment which chases money and decides the DNC's move relies on data that shows a wishy washy base that will turn at the drop of the hat and is endlessly unsatisfied inside a broken system, and so they head to corporate interests.
It's a carrot on the stick game. But instead of being a mother fucker and snatching that carrot out of the air, which people can do historically, leftists and liberals and Dem voters piss their fuckin pants and kick sand and cry and don't vote next election, or consider a candidate unworthy for not being perfect or fitting the mould.
Meanwhile Republicans get a consistent vote and corporate support. Few fractions in party goals. Trucking forward continuously. Because their voters are easier to satisfy and they don't really have to rely on the majority to vote, they actually just need them to note vote. So what do they do? "Dem bad" every election. And you help that by not having the confidence to express a neutral opinion and see both good and bad and the cause and effect.
The stick is not voting for them. Do you not understand that?
You like the party as it is and don't want it to improve.
Progressives overwhelmingly vote blue no matter who. You just don't ever want the party to stop moving to the right, so you lie about them.
We're tired of betrayal. You never will be.
You're literally insane throwing such accusations lmfao.
Pointless talking to someone so hostile who cannot even meet a middle ground and admit something about the party is positive. Weak minded and easily falling for Facebook tier propaganda.
"I depicted myself as the chad and therefore you have lost" ass nerd.
Pointless talking to someone who thinks that those who the party has betrayed don't have legitimate grievances. Keep shrieking "propaganda" at anyone who says that your party's actions are unacceptable.
The party will not improve if the voters are content with it as is. You want to enforce contentment.
