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.

I'd like it if Joe and Kamala felt some of that crushing guilt for giving missiles to the "blowing up Palestinian children with missiles brigade". Why is your gripe with the people who wouldn't vote for someone committing genocide and not, you know, the people committing genocide?
Just saying the democratic party could've not done that. Could've changed course on that at any time. And yet every chance you get you angrily point the finger at people who wouldn't vote for someone committing genocide, and not the people who wouldn't stop committing genocide. Make it make sense ๐ the election is over, its done, why is your ire still directed towards people protesting against genocide and not the perpetrators of genocide who literally could've stopped at any point, any point whatsoever before the election, and yet never did, never once even came close to doing that.
They both have the same sponsors and work for them, not the public.
Good thing that at least the genocide stopped immediately, Palestinians now have their own country, the Ukraine war was negotiated on day one, eggs are a buck a dozen and everybody has Healthcare now.
Mhm yeah and the whole year when Kamala and Joe could've stopped the genocide they did... sorry remind me what Joe Biden did while he was president and Israel was like "hey were gonna start massacring children and starving entire populations to death" ? Was it that he spreads their propaganda and hoaxes on an international stage for them? Was it that he continuously interfered with the ICC and the UN from doing ANYTHING to stop the genocide? Was it that he gave them all the money and guns and bombs they could ever dream of? Was it that he forced American universities to Crack down on anti zionist protests? Was it that he advocated essentially the same position as Donald Trump and was also very close personal friends with one of the most vile racists who's ever lived Netanyahu?
Remind me, did they stop the Palestinian genocide when they had the presidency? Or did it not literally start and flourish under them, while they kept it safe from any interference and fed the genocidal militias.
Kamala didn't stop the genocide, let's elect trump so at least the palenstinans are killed faster so the conflict is over.
Here's why everyone is angry. Seemingly at people like you, I'm assuming, who decided not to vote. Democrats weren't the ones committing the genocide!! They were absolutely enabling it. Supporting it. Israel was committing the genocide and we weren't voting for their government. And then, on top of that, it was absolutely evident that Trump would make the genocide worse and not voting against him was effectively voting for him. And that's on you. You did that. There was a slim chance that Kamala could improve the situation and Palestinian lives. Instead, your lack of vote ensured that wouldn't happen, ensured that more Ukrainians would die, ensured that Africans would die, ensured that American women would die, ensured that millions of Americans will die if there's a pandemic. And now instead of just fixing the Democratic party for the future, we're also fighting fascism. So fucking congrats. Your short-sighted high horse didn't take a harm reduction strategy and many human lives are now gone. You need to fucking own that.
You people are insane

I am not an American citizen. So, no, I had no vote begin with.
The majority of people refusing to vote for Kamala due to her direct involvement in genocide were Palestinian Americans. They continued to fund and arm Israel as they continued to commit genocide. That absolutely makes them complicit in genocide, otherwise referred to as people committing genocide. If America had defied them in any substantial way then Israel would not have been able to continue committing genocide.
Kamala is a zionist, like Joe. There was no slim chance. And IT STILL DOESNT MATTER. Again, youre acting like its IMPOSSIBLE that she could've just said "I will stop American complicity in the Palestinian genocide and join the rest of the UN in demanding the arrest of war criminals in Israel". She could've done that ๐ she could've done that at any fucking time and yet youre seemingly more upset at a very small minority of people who wouldn't vote for her instead of her for not making a very basic decision to end American involvement in murdering Palestinian children?
WHY ISN'T THAT SHE, WHO WAS DIRECTLY COMPLICIT IN HORRIFIC ACTS OF ETHNIC CLEANSING AND REFUSED TO STOP, THE SUBJECT OF YOUR IRE??
Its NEVER "If only Kamala had promised to end American involvement in the genocide of Palestinians, hope she's happy with herself." Instead its always "Wow fuck the Palestinian Americans who objected to voting for someone actively supplying and protecting the people murdering their entire culture. How dare they!!"
Its all just punching down. Thats all it is. Never demand anything from the democratic party, Kamala and Joe are so fragile they might just cry if you held them accountable for anything they do. Its the fault of those evil people who are anti genocide and demanded American stop committing acts of genocide. Giving the Nazis Zyklon B would be direct involvement in what they used it for, giving the IDF missiles as you watch them throw them at preschools makes you a direct part of their industry of genocide. And she could've ended that. She could've been like "nope fuck that fuck Israel fuck Zionism my administration will end American involvement in the Palestinian genocide and join the world in calling for the arrest of war criminals and the end of Israeli colonialism". Why is that not the desired outcome for you??
I agree with you. But also a democracy with only one democratic party is already a failed democracy from my point of view. So not only one party should be fixed as you said, but the whole two party system. I guess.....
