Just remember, it's not D vs R, it's rich vs poor.
He's just trying to KEEP it that way.

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.

Since the emancipation of the N******, the distinction between the two parties has been diminishing. The fight between these two parties has been mainly over the height of customs duties. Their fight has not had any serious importance for the mass of the people. The people have been deceived and diverted from their vital interests by means of spectacular and meaningless duels between the two bourgeois parties.

I feel like in historical context it's unnecessary to censor the word Negroes, even though it's no longer acceptable. I actually looked up the article you quoted to make sure Vlady wasn't dropping hard R's, since you kind of never know.
However that could be the type of buried white privilege similar to thinking it'd be fun to travel back in time to see history in person is, and am open to correction. Just seems like the term wasn't being used with hate like the N word absolutely always was and is.
Edit: never been more relieved to be on the mark...
The term is still acceptable, just not on US social media. You also should say "unalive" instead of "dead", it's all idiocy.
I think you can still say "idiocy"
I'm not sure if the word police phenomenon is a USA thing or world-wide... hopefully other countries don't divert themselves with such needless, constant drama over language.
Honestly I'm just used to censoring it for the reddit/facebook/etc algorithmic censors. I generally dislike censoring quotes.
I strongly agree with censoring quotes, largely in general. Unless the person has used such terrible vulgarity that the repetition of it in quoting is useless and can just be replaced by [slur], don't wash somebody else's disgusting language for them let their words belong to them.

I've seen it said quite nicely elsewhere on the Internet: It's not Red vs Blue, it's billionaires vs you. Act accordingly.
I envy the wordsmiths. Such elegant words. They should get some credibility. Maybe a Poetic License?
The real lesson is absolutely anyone can put a D by their name...
Even if not a politician, trump gave so much money to the Clinton's they came to one of his weddings. He was a Dem "power donor" for decades.
Anytime people just care about the letter by a name we're fucked.
But people are really opposed to critical thinking and really love easy binary labels.
Life should be easy. I wouldn't want it any other way.
I'm confused why someone with enough money to make them puke wants to make life difficult for ME.
Nothing better to do?
Human variation.
Some people are wired to hoard as much resources as possible, like a squirrel compulsively burying nuts.
We didn't evolve for the abstract concept of wealth we have now. It's just a number on a screen, it can go up indefinitely and at a certain point it's can't help but accumulate.
At a certain point there should be "to much wealth to manage" that limits these people, if they don't have a limit they're never stop hoarding.
If they could have ever been satisfied, they would have been long before a billion.
What I don't get is why not everyone see this....
Another proud Democrat representing for the "labor party".
In the glory days of the 1950s, unions were almost 50% of workforce... now about 10%, and those are mostly cops and government employees.
Check out worker benefits and pay in Poland. Minimum wage a little less, in return they get healthcare, maternity leave, paid vacations, universal healthcare, and more.
The year is 2026 and Eastern Europe has surpassed the USA, good job Democrats you are best labor party ever
Polis is a big-time big-tech ball-licker. I hope Coloradans send him packing.
Don't have to do anything to send him packing. He's term limited and done after this year.
His "replacement" will be worse.
Politicians were supposed to be the people's union and protect the "little man". Greed took control. Look at what greed does.
Nice! We did it!
His own entire party has already officially censored him because of his pardoning of Tina Peters. He's been a almost entirely useless government his entire time.
find his investments and help those workers unionize. pigfucking corpo shill
Had to look him up
In 2018, Polis was elected governor of Colorado. He is the first openly gay man elected governor of a U.S. state
Does that make him the first openly gay governor to engage in union busting? how progressive 🙃
Colorado has pioneered some really good pro-worker and pro-consumer legislation in the last few years, so this is especially disappointing. But par for the course considering how deep the anti-union propaganda runs.
There is no stronger union than the Uniparty fighting for their donors
