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.

"DNC forces Harris"
Absent any evidence. Kind of like how Bernie flat out DID. NOT. WIN. in 2020. No shenanigans- he couldn't muster support.
God I'd love a progressive candidate but America seems not to and Im tired of people making excuses for it. Show up or stfu.
Not all directed at you- mainly the prevailing attitude among Lemmings who think America is oh so progressive but rarely ever attains office of any kind.
2020? In 2020, the DNC literally coordinated for all the centrist candidates except Biden to drop out right before a critical primary day. Warren stayed in the race to divide the progressive vote, but literally all the centrist candidates except Biden dropped out simultaneously. There was absolutely ratfucking in the 2020 primary.
And what evidence could you possibly want for the DNC forcing Harris? They were literally the only people involved in selecting her as the candidate. The voters did not get a say.
Yeah no shit. You can't convince your own party to vote for you you don't deserve it.
That's politics for all you morons. Bernie could've collaborated with Warren for one of them to drop in exchange for a cabinet position, etc. but they didn't.
There's nothing insidious about that. Centrists grouped and voters rewarded them for that. Bernie didn't. I voted for him in 2020.
Simply put, progressives are more upset that there aren't more of them or that they don't show up. Either way they LOST because the majority of Democratic voters don't vote that way.
Maybe they should spend more time convincing everyone of their positions instead of bitching at bogus bogeymen for all their failures.
That's why it's a hypothetical and was framed as such. If she decides to run again, the party's likely gonna try, all the while saying that AOC can't run because a woman of color can't win.
