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.

Slavoj Zizek calls the Democrats “capitalism with a kinder face - LGBT rights and so on and so on.”
That’s really it. They think the core economic system is working. They’re fine to greenlight social policies that don’t challenge it, especially if they think it will win them votes. And that’s all they are.
Let's not pretend they stand for the T in that acronym.
They stand for whatever gets them votes. Given the current cultural climate with the right actively controlling the media landscape and the left busy purity testing before they even consider voting, they would obviously consider taking a seat on the topic.

They stand for genocide and nothing else and do not care about votes.
Ah, you're one of those persecution fetishists. Normally y'all are about Jesus.
Then you should have no problem identifying an issue that the centrist wing of the party has fought for harder than it fought for netanyahu's campaign of genocide.
Literally anything lol wtf are you smoking?
Name one. Be specific.
Because they were willing to break the fucking law for netanyahu.
Infrastructure act. Nobody has fought for genocide, dude. Again, what the fuck are you smoking?
The infrastructure act was the product of capitulation on Build Back Better.
Democrats did not compromise on their unconditional support for genocide.
Yeah you're gonna have to come up with even a little bit of evidence that Democrats wanted to do a genocide because this here is some seriously dumb shit.
They kept selling weapons long after it became clear that they would only be used for genocide. They broke the Leahy law to do so, after three years of letting procedural bullshit stand in their way for things they actually ran on. You're just wasting my time in bad faith.
Okay. So before you said Democrats care about nothing but genocide, and your evidence is that they maintained previously established diplomatic ties.
There's a lot of things that Democrats could do better, but you've somehow managed to come up with the most brain-dead take I've seen.
My evidence is that they broke the law to sell weapons to your favorite person for your favorite activity.
I'm sure they didn't murder enough Palestinians for your liking.
You say that about anyone who doesn't worship netanyahu. You're just here to support genocide.
And you accuse me of bad faith.
Enjoy your rage porn, I guess.
You keep deliberately ignoring how democrats broke the law to sell weapons for genocide. They capitulate, compromise, and make excuses in all other areas, but the law is no impediment to the only thing any centrist democrat wants.
Whatever man. Vote for trump and then tell yourself the Democrats are worse if it helps you sleep at night.
Fool
I voted for harris, and you keep ignoring that, just like you keep ignoring how your party broke the law to give you the genocide you want more than anything.
BuT yOu VoTeD fOr GeNoCiDe!
I voted for harm reduction. That doesn't mean I harbor any illusions that the party supports anything with as much fervor as they support genocide.
You voted for genocide because you love to kill Palestinians and trans and that's the only thing that makes you happy.
That's what you sounded like two comment ago, lol.
You have yet to provide any policy that centrist democrats support with greater fervor than they support genocide.
You can't because there isn't one. They broke the law to give you your precious genocide.
It's your genocide, you voted for it
You have yet to provide any policy that centrist democrats support with greater fervor than they support genocide.
You can’t because there isn’t one. They broke the law to give you your precious genocide.
I will not reply to any of your pro-genocide trolling attempts in any other way until you answer the question.
Why don't you answer the question, you voted for genocide
You haven't answered my question. I answered yours.
I'm not gonna answer a loaded question. Also, I don't accept your answer. Do better.
Democrats supposedly have many policies they're willing to fight for harder than they fight for genocide.
And yet you can't name one. Not a single one. Thank you for the admission that you exist in bad faith.
