and I want to be clear - this means no aid to Ukraine either. We are broke as it is.

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.

They said they had the legal right to ignore the primary votes and make clalbackroom deals. And they might have done that, but they didn't even have to because the primary voters, who were not in any backroom conferences, voted for Clinton.
The DNC probably would have tried to tank his nomination, but they didn't have to because the people voting in the primaries voted against him.
That's it. That's all that happened. Everything they may have hypothetically chosen to do had he won the primaries didn't matter, which is why the case against the DNC went nowhere.
When Mandami won the NYC primary a lot of the party establishment was pissed and didn't back him, but he still was their candidate and he won in the general because even the butcher establishment voters still voted "D" because they knew it was more important to support a candidate they weren't in love with over the fascist Republicans.
That's a lesson the leftists need to learn. When their guy was nominated, the Democratic voters who voted against him in the primaries still showed up to the main event. If the butthurt leftists who don't get a perfect candidate would just have done the same we wouldn't have had a single Republican President this century unless the GOP chose to ratchet to the left.
By refusing to vote Democrat when an establishment candidategets nominated, the leftists are the cause of the rightward ratchet.
Mayoral politics are not federal politics, much less presidential election politics.
Still not voting for your preferred genocidal party :(
Every time the Republicans commit an attrocity, people like you are the reason. You should be losing sleep over it, but you won't because of 1 of 2 reasons:
You're a fucking idiot who allows himself to be manipulated by the right to keep people from voting against them, or you're one of the manipultors.
I think that's because of their capitalist and Zionazi owners, actually.
I don't vote for people on the right - including Democrats.
