Sick days were just one demand of many the unions wanted, and even then it fell short of what they had demanded. "We got them their demands later" is basically propaganda at this point.

I don't have the numbers, but to many Democrat voters lax immigration policy and generally better treatment of immigrants is the reason they vote democrat. The Dems are losing a good amount of public goodwill by doing this.

I mean the DOJ has been doing a good job during the Biden administration. To an extent there's not much the government can actually do about low wages if I got my stuff right; it's mostly workers' organizations who can do something about that. Dems also don't have the House or a filibuster proof majority in the Senate so I'm not sure what exactly you want them to do.

I don't like the Dems either, but they're overall okay on workers' rights (shutting down the rail strike was very much not okay, though).

As a non-native english speaker, I find it to be good practise to help me improve my spelling.

To nitpick a bit, you're probably thinking of pronunciation. Spelling is written, not spoken.

They improve your ability to focus, but you still need to make the active decision to concentrate on whatever you need to do. No drug will make you automatically clean your room or do your homework.

Muslims and young progressives (and young people in general, but mostly progressives).

Okay Ukrainians voting for Trump has to be funniest and saddest thing I've read today.

That is very much not the case in Russia.

Or most of the world, really. Source: Am Middle Eastern and don't like being told what to do. Sometimes it feels like either I or everyone around me is crazy.

You're trying to make them sound racist but that's really not it. Russia has never been a democracy. They don't have the culture build by more than a century of democratic rule like America, France or Britain. They don't have the culture that leads to more than a century of democratic rule. You make it seem comical by saying "they're taught to hate freedom", but cultures do vary in how predisposed they are to obeying authority or rebelling against it, among a variety of other things. I mean, just take a look at this. See this if you've never seen these terms before.

Anyway what I'm trying to say is that it takes a lot more work and good faith to keep a democracy going in a country like Russia and China than in Western Europe, where people are more used to and comfortable with fighting authority.
