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.

The superdelegate system didn't burn Bernie. He was behind Clinton in the primaries well before the superdelegates got their vote in the Convention.

Would they have killed his nomination in 2016 if it were close? Probably. But they didn't have to because people weren't voting for him.

People are down voting you even though you are objectively correct. That's sad. I feel bad for those people.

There are a lot of people who don't want to admit that when a progressive loses it's not always "the DNC"'s fault. Politics and life are just a bit more complicated than that.
