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.

Unfamiliar with his career, eh?
Non-american, so yes 😊 Enlighten me?
He's one of the furthest left politicians in the history of the country and has been consistent with it since the 60s.
If you've heard of him, it was him getting sidelined in 2016 so the Democrats could run Hilary Clinton. If you haven't heard of him, it's because that sidelining extends to his entire career.
I wouldn't vote for him now due to his age but he would have been a powerhouse if he won.
I read often of him, and it always sounded like a very solid idea. But probably too good for the common peasant and hence sidelined. The orange clown seems kinda like the absolute opposite. So OK I guess I can retract my bitter statement. There might be good guys left, they just never make it. Oh wait, that's also bitter....
I mean there’s a lot of truth to that. I was always skeptical that Bernie could work well with others enough to be productive, since he’s spent so much of his long career standing against every politician
Then the weird part is there was a surprisingly large overlap of people who supported both Bernie and the orange clown. So strange when you’re thinking opposite gaols, but perhaps it’s just that both were outside the establishment
I find it more weird that the vast majority of the USA is probably piss-poor to normal poor, yet even those seem to think that a billionaire will care for them and better their lifes. And then wear maga-hats. Or do people with 6-figures think they're not poor? But I so would wish you guys that next election he might get a rerun, considering how the clown drove the USA into the gutter. I mean if that gestures broadly at everything didn't help to vote differently, then what would....
