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
The trouble you're having is that you're jumping to ridiculous and unhinged accusations. If you look at this very thread, I immediately changed my mind when a user pointed out that you already need photo ID for voting. But you just can't let it go. So "you" have won the political argument, I've conceded like 15 comments ago. That's the part where I think this goes beyond normal political outrage for a legitimate issue, and has probably crossed over into something that's affecting you and your relationships on a personal level. I do not mean this as an ad hominem although I phrased it in an unhelpful way.
More gaslighting.
Your response when someone pointed out that you already need an ID was:
That's not changing your mind. That's telling people who are upset at the attempt to disenfranchise voters that they're upset about nothing.
