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.

That’s not what this meme is about.
This meme says “if you vote for them, they will not do what you want. Probably best to sit this election out.” It is an attempt to convince people not to vote. How do you not understand this?
The actions of the democratic party say that much louder than any meme ever could. If you don't want people getting that message, stop sending it.
That is not what it is implying at all. It's essentially showing the DNC trying to gain votes by saying something clearly outlandish and extremely manipulative instead of doing the common sense thing of actually listening to the voters, which is the context of the original comic. No wonder America is cooked, more than half of ya'll read below a 6th grade level and you clearly demonstrated it live.
Can you give me an example of a currently-running democratic candidate for national office that is saying what you’re claiming they’re saying?
Any time candidates blame the voters. Which has happened a good amount of times just this year.
The comic context is that Charlie (the boy) is trying to kick the ball but Lucy keeps yanking the ball away just to be an asshole. Charlie shouldn't stop trying to kick the ball - it's LUCY who needs to stop being a fucking dick.
Charlie Brown should kick the living dung out of Lucy.
Rather, kick her and then run the ball himself! (aka primarying every corporate democrat)
“No” would have been a shorter response.
And an incorrect one, so I didn't say it.
