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.

Yaaaay a bill that'll go nowhere and die on the floor, just so the dems can claim they're trying to help to proles.

Write the bills ahead of time, so that when a favourable Congress is formed you don't have to spend more time putting it together from scratch.

Min wage should also be attached to inflation. Also, "bills going nowhere" didn't stop Project 2025, Heritage Foundation fascists and Republican abortion ban projects from persistently marching forward.

Because Democrats are on the same team as Republicans, and it's not ours. And we're just as ineffective, consumed by inertia.

So we should be sad and do nothing and shame anyone who tries something doomed to fail anyway.

No we should be organizing on a much grander scale.

PR to get votes.

Well, I'd prefer they do something just to say they're trying than the usual tactic of not even trying because they've already decided they don't have enough votes.

wont help in if you are stuck in HCOL, or maybe MCOl. helps more in LCOL states which are almost always GOP controlled.
