(58,785 posts)Contributions of all are real and of value, and deserve respect. I don't think it's a compliment to lower-pay workers to try to glorify them, as if being underpaid somehow made them of greater value than those who are being smeared for the purpose. Like all their fellows who make this country move, they need equitable compensation, and genuine respect, for their contributions.
Eliot Rosewater
(31,106 posts)voted for ANY and ALL Democrats from day one.
Sure, for every 25 elected maybe 1 will be a bluish Manchin type, or an all out sellout like the other one in the news.
But given we can count on ALL republicans to do the WORST POSSIBLE things on EARTH, we sure as FUCK better get it in our heads how good the average Dem is compared to cons.
For instance, Hillary would have been EVERY BIT AS PROGRESSIVE and probably MORE than Joe Biden, who I love, is.

(7,616 posts)why do we pay the highest prices for prescription drugs on earth?
and why do they allow a minority to stymie every progressive policy the majority of Americans support?
Like free healthcare or paid leave for maternity or at least 2 years of free college to name but a few?
Why do they allow the MIC to suck up the largest share of revenue available instead of funding those programs?
We all know who really wields the power and it sure as shit aint the workers.
But it sure as shit should be.
