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.

Name one thing the group that wasn't voted into power has done since their power was taken away? Well aside from blocking terrible bills and suing the Trump administration over executive actions and voter intimidation, DNC appointed judges have really been the only force of opposition the GOP has faced. You're right, though. It's not enough. Instead of voting more progressive candidates into the DNC we should just remove them from power entirely, and hand over all that remains of the government to the GOP since the DNC is so ineffectual. That will show them! Hear that everyone? Don't vote! If your vote mattered even a little bit then Republicans would be doing everything they can to make it more difficult for you while also astroturfing social media with bots and voter apathy memes, and since you want to act like they haven't been actively suppressing democracy and they were only caught doing that last bit in 2012, 2016, 2020, and 2024 and soon there won't be any proof of that then we can all rest easy knowing there's nothing we can do or could have done.
You're an actual idiot. No one is saying to do this. Everyone who criticizes the DNC wants that to be the result. They complain about the DNC being ineffective because of the CORPORATE DEMOCRATS who lead it. Replacing them with progressives would make the party actually good. People criticize the DNC because they want it to be better, not an enabler of the GOP. A bunch of progressives have already won primaries for state congress/senate races.
When they said 54% of Americans have reading comprehension under a 6th grade level they were not kidding. You're a live fucking example.
No, you are not and have not said that and neither have any of the other voter apathy memesters that pop up around election time and demonstrably increase voter apathy. But keep up the ad hominem, it's super endearing.
This comic is about Lucy yanking the ball away the moment Charlie tries to kick it. It's not trying to drum up voter apathy. People are still trying to kick the ball. The problem is that the DNC is actively fucking yoinking it from under people's feet and not delivering on their promises and don't want to do their fucking job. Demanding your party does what they were voted for to do is the bare minimum, but now it's apparently illegal, "making their jobs harder", and "causing their candidates to lose"?? Miss me with that bullshit. The fact you don't know the original context of the comic and immediately thought this was about making people to not vote speaks volumes about how offended you get at any mild criticism. You're a cultist. Get therapy.
