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.

MODERATORS
They argued that it was their party and they could anoint whoever party leadership wanted (the phrase "smoke filled room" actually came up) without input from the voters, and you like the results so you're making excuses.
I notice how you ignored the rest of my comment which establishes this as part of a larger pattern of behavior.
I love how we can't act like republicans under circumstances where doing so might help constituents, but when the party wants to put its thumb on the scale against progressives, everyone does it so it's ok.
I didn't actually like the result of the 2016 primary... But I can also tell when one number is bigger than the other, and I know that rule number one is keep trump out of office and rule number two is vote for your best candidate in the primary, and the least worse candidate in the general.
Gotta love you saying this, and then immediately taking part of my comment out of context to create a "gotcha" moment I'd expect to see on Fox News.
I'm sorry no one was running to the right of Clinton in the primary.
Rule 0 is keep progressives out of office, and it takes precedence over rule 1.
If you're going to ignore most of my comment to pretend that democrats run honest primaries after an election cycle in which they denied the voters primaries entirely, don't expect greater courtesy than you offer.
