One more example that our “labor” party is anti-labor and pro-business; awful pay and the worst benefits of the first world, even eastern Europe has more benefits.

What’s more annoying than a Reddit atheist? Paying taxes to support your shit church

Great, first rape, then ass, now children.

You are vile

You’re obsessed with rape and now ass. Get help

Absurdly, we all finance these pedophiles, their very favorite place to conceal themselves is the church/temple/mosque, and these are all tax free.

And now they can openly campaign, it’s getting worse, not better.

That’s not how any of this works. In many states in the USA, your votes for President are for entertainment purposes only; with our electoral college you can actually lose the popular vote and still win the election.

More and more people are leaving the major parties every day, voters are 40% independent with Ds and Rs at 30% each. I predict that the major parties will continue to lose voters every year, and anti-incumbent voters will increase.

It’s not just Trump in the Trumpstein files. There is international pressure to keep a lid on this (UK royal family and Israel, who knows who else is involved). There are thousands of deposits of over a billion dollars to Epstein, Trump is one of many.

The most powerful and concerned about these records are unlikely to even be public figures, we’re talking real money and not the political circus clown show.

Also, much of it was sealed for years (and much more remains sealed)

Me “Biden and Nixon are both Presidents”

You “So they’re the same!!”

Me “No”

Why do you distrust dictionaries and ignore definitions that you don’t agree with?

I don’t get the motivation.

Me “cacti and junipers are both plants”

You “So they’re the same!”

Me “No…”

Laugh more! Meanwhile, alpha still means first in every dictionary ever printed.

Ha!

Me… “cars and trucks are both vehicles”

You… “So they’re the same.”

Me… “No.”

Me… “horses and tigers are both quadrupeds”

You… “So they’re the same!!”

Me… “No.”

Me… “both of our parties are beholden to Super PACs”

You… “So they must be the same!”

Me… “No.”

Democrats have consistently advocated for its increase. Including a proposal to raise it to $15/hour in the 2024 platform.

Yes, they advocate for many things that they will not do. Biden had a majority for two years, proposed it, a few Democrats voted against, and that’s that. Did they try to at least raise it a little, say to nine an hour? No, why bother? It’s always a few Democrats; Super PACs don’t have to pay everybody. Just enough.

This seems to be mostly determined by states. Several have mandated times. Plus, the Democrats push FAMILY act, which would federally require 12 paid weeks. The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act was passed in 2022 - requiring better accommodations for pregnant women.

That’s neat, but did you know that we are surpassed by the entire first world with worker benefits, and now even eastern Europe? That’s pro-labor? No. No, it is not. If Poland increases their minimum wage another dollar, they will surpass the USAs “labor party” in results in every way.

Democrats push the Protecting the Right to Organize Act - aims to expand collective bargaining rights and strengthen penalties for labor violations. Executive actions under Biden: Repealed Trump-era EOs that weakened collective bargaining

Union membership has fallen down to 10%, from 40% in the 1970s. Union membership does not rise under D administrations, that’s a fact.

Trying to equate the Republicans and Democrats on these issues is absolutely asinine

They are both pro-business and anti-labor, and anyone who disagrees (specifically you) should be under supervised care and hidden from the public. Japan, Australia, Canada, South Korea, United Kingdom, Western and Eastern Europe all prove that you are wrong. They have real labor parties, not the shallow mockery of one we have in the USA.

completely indefensible and based on sheer ignorance.

Only a dimwitted ignoramus would think that the Democrats are “pro-labor” when compared to the rest of civilization as we know it. You bring shame to yourself and your family

People like you, too lazy to do the slightest research and subsisting on lazy assumptions and memes, are why a convicted pedophile is currently the president.

People like you will always lick the boot, because you’re fine with union membership and pay dropping every year, immune to the suffering of labor all around you in spite of mountains of evidence to the contrary, and eager to believe that things are different than they really are. They should take away your driver’s license.

Baby gets depressed, goes to suicide prevention site; since he has no account he can’t provide email so he is locked out.

Sigh, may as well play a game on his phone, right? Oops, game needs an update.

Game can’t update because his OS needs an update.

Yes, local and state is filled with decent progressive Democrats, also socialists, libertarians, green party, and more.

Federal? One pro-labor Democrat has been allowed to take office, yay… and she agrees with me (that Democrats have abandoned labor).

Leadership “allows” them to exist, after all you can’t just load them all into work camps. Yet.

“Both sides are anti-labor” is not “both sides are the same”.

Some day it will sink in, and boy will you feel dumb

Of course! With state politics, even third parties have had some success (socialist, green, libertarian, et al).

The Fed leadership of the party will always tolerate low-level activists, we even have one congressperson who is pro-labor.

She agrees with me; Democrats abandoned labor long ago.

They’re not the same, but both are anti-labor and pro-corporate. Neither provides any benefits for workers, Rs have always been awful and Ds have ignored labor for decades.

Poland has better worker benefits than the USA… we’ve been surpassed by Japan, Australia, Korea, Canada, most of Europe and now even eastern Europe. Sad.

So they elected candidates who historically have opposed labor protections and government benefits

In the USA, all candidates oppose labor protections and government benefits; it’s not as if the Democrats provide relief.

(min. wage 7.25, no sick leave, no maternity leave, no vacation, fire at will, no union protections, unions down to 10% (from 40% in 70s))

Both parties are not the same, but they are both pro-corporate and anti-labor

That’s neat! A heavy crown to bear.

I’m glad you learned something today… now go forth, and sin no more.

You could say… that your favorite definition is the “alpha” of definitions.
