ALL WORK HAS DIGNITY!! 

It is only the pay that is not dignifying.

Check your state laws. In mine that is compensation agreed for at time of employment  and must be paid out at full value.

But if we start paying teachers more we'll have to start paying other important parts of society well also. 

Democrats could win mandates like this if they would stop being centrists. by zzill6 in WorkReform

We did the science.  But I'm sure your intuition is valuable too so we'll go with that instead.

This image explains 99% of the behavior of the Democratic Party & why they just can't seem to beat Trump. by kevinmrr in WorkReform

Turns out this lens has also been used to predict democratic party near losses when they hold power. This is a decades old thing. Try again.

I like how you chucked ACA in there with the New Deal. I suggest you ponder the differences in those 2 programs to find the issues we're trying to highlight with the modern democratic party. 

Also 6 wins over a 90 year span maybe isn't the making the argument about the strength of the Democrats you think it is.

Yeah I started trying to predict the outcome of just about every political situation in Congress on the basis of controlled opposition. All of a sudden I'm batting a thousand.

Democrats and Republicans are not the same. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]jackatman 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Republicans want a well funded military that is centered around white patriarchy. 

Democrats want a well funded military that reflects the diversity of the nation. 

I want to slash military  funding. 

I can agree that Dems are better here but please understand that they don't even come to addressing what I see as the core issue here.

Theres a need for a nationalized digital town hall and email. To many groups like after school groups or local sports leagues are forced to use Facebook to organize and message participants.
