    They’re using this to test how long Americans will tolerate having a clearly dead person hold elected office for when Trump finally farts himself to death

    Current US politics are ridiculous. How come there aren’t large protests with burnt tires, thrown concrete blocks, and biological waste being pumped into government buildings like France had in the recent years? And before anybody points that out, French police and military also have guns, so being armed is not unique to the US forces. Hasn’t prevented the unarmed Frenchies from taking action too.

    Mere words don’t mean anything to these politicians.

      He absolutely has to be, or at least has such brain damage he cannot function properly. They wouldn’t go through so much to hide his state like this.

    I was just talking about this for my fiance last night. I can guarantee you that it won’t be long after the election that he will have suddenly died in the hospital. My opinion is that he’s probably just being kept on life support, brain dead.

      Mmm I don’t know about that, if anything this either reflects or is one of their biggest current problems.

      There’s a good chance this Senator is dead, if not he certainly can’t serve as a Senator. That’s being disregarded and/or covered up.

      That’s a serious issue within their government.

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.
