This kinda happened to me at a workplace.
I tried to negotiate my salary when I began and they said they don’t negotiate salaries because people of color and women are disproportionately less likely to negotiate than White men who benefit from the practice. And I’m like, but… I’m a person of color?? They wouldn’t hear any of it. One of the worst jobs I’ve ever had.
Lmfao gotta love woke oppression
It’s corpo socialism using woke talking points as a cudgel.
Edit: glad Lemmy had users that are fans of public funds bailing out large corporations. But I want you all that downvoted me(cause you don’t have a grasp of the English language!) to know I truly don’t care what you think. If a for profit corporation requires public (read “social”) funds, then they don’t need to exist. 🖕 To all you idiots.
“It would actually be racist of us to pay you more.”
This is like how car dealers have a no haggle policy and act like that’s a good thing.
The first time I heard that years ago, I was astonished. Who would accept such a thing?
“Buying a car is easy at RipOff Motors! You just pay the sticker price, no haggling! Isn’t that GREAT!”
I’m showing up on the 28th of the month with the dealer cost in mind, and a willingness to pay 10% above that. If you don’t want to haggle, I’ll just go to one of the 20 other dealerships within a 30 minute drive.
I successfully haggled with a “no haggle” dealership. I made an offer, they declined, they called me a week later to see if I was still interested, I declined, 15 min later they lower the price on their site to about the number I wanted and I called them back.
That’s why I always buy at the end of the month, when either the sales rep and/or the dealership are trying to hit their quota for the month, and are far more willing to cut a good deal.
“So what you’re saying is, we should all negotiate for our salaries together? What a great idea!”
That’s exactly the proper response. If you can’t negotiate individually, because it’s “bad for the individuals,” then negotiate collectively - “for the good of the company.”
Wokeception
They won’t negotiate your salary for your own good. That’s some 1984 doublespeak for you right there.
If David Hogg is too far to the left for the democrats then there really is no hope for the party, not even the remote possibility of reform
They can’t stand for anything, not even the watered down lib shit like gun control
Republicans should be thanking their lucky stars the only people who disagree with them are the Republican Party’s moderate wing. I never want to hear chuds even whine about anything, not even non-political stuff. They are the most spoiled, undeservedly lucky demographic in human history.
And somehow even democrats are commandist ultras in amerikkka

“The United States is also a one-party state but, with typical American extravagance, they have two of them.”
It’s all theater, at the end of the day both d’s and r’s are in agreement over everything.
Stand for something, or die for nothing
They’ve unposted Hogg
I should have scrolled down before I made a comment with a worse version of the same pun
never stop posting
Never stop punning.
I’m begging activists, form a third party. With this much energy, just start a new party. Do not engage with democrats
Join your local
hell yeah
Do they even run candidates outside presidential elections?
As conditions change and the capacity of the party grows, avenues of struggle that connect with more “disconnected” people like running in elections grows as a possibility.
Pretty hard to ignore the fact that fascists get strongly worded letters but people who say dems should do more than write angry letters get immediatly neutralized.
“Let me be unequivocal, no DNC officer should ever attempt to influence the outcome of a primary election,” – Some deepstate ooze who insisted on running Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, popular opinion be dammed
Why even bother with primaries? Just give every nomination to the most senior candidate who isn’t vetoed by someone more senior. And then before the general elections, the most senior members of both parties can meet and pick which voters they want.
they skipped the primary for
: That’s a great idea, but we could save so much time by just letting the Republican candidate choose
Considering all the times they’ve openly thrown their support against progressive candidates…that statement should have made them burst into flames.

Hogg’s out
They managed to Hogg out AND log out, amazing
No, he’s free. Now he owes NOTHING to the Dems, and can go on the attack. He’s got a LOT of people in his corner, and there are a whole lot who don’t know who he is yet, but will love him when they get to know him.
The American people are like a long line of desperate people waiting outside a locked restroom door to take a shit while the Democratic Party snorts lines of coke off the toilet tank.
I wish I could not vote for them harder
God damn are we gonna get a radical David and Greta in the same timeline? Thanks status quo!
Dems: elect leader then realize someone who won an election can’t possibly lead them as they’re not supposed to actually win elections “No wait”
They’re getting Hogg out for a woman
There’s a Jacob Wysocki quote somewhere that’s perfect for this.
♫I tried so hard and gone so far. In the end, it doesn’t even matter♫
