All I see out there are gay rights, trans rights, whatever parades.
And people actually show up. like wth. given that it’s 5% population max.

Where are the worker rights parades?
US workers are 80% of the population (sans elderly, kids and disabled).
Why is noone doing it? Why is noone organizing Jon Stewart’s “Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear”?

Why does US east coastline still owned by billionaires and we have to ask permission to walk on that sand?
Where is healthcare for all?
Where are bike lines?
Why dont we nationalize and own the oil fields in US?
Where are mandatory 1 month vacations? (even fucking China has them). ?

Lots of people would march for those demands.

Wt guys? just fucking why?

    The Nazis came after the communists and trade unionists before they came for the Jews. At least according to the original version of “first they came”.

    There’s a specific order to how rights can be established. Workers’ rights are dismantled before minority rights, and minority rights are to be protected before workers’ rights can be protected.

      I don’t know what is “first they came” . Is that some old book?

      In all cases. I’m not talking about abandoning this issue, be my guess campaign on LGBT rights.

      What I’m saying is that this is not important to 90% of Americans and people should campaign on issues important to more people first and leave this lgbt issue be secondary.
      What I suspect is happening -> boh parties are in essence against working rights at core, so they choose to focus on narrow relatively unimportant issues.
