Need the new breakout dems like AOC, etc…

Watch her conversations with Jon Stewart from last week.

https://youtu.be/eeheoxWzf2o

She made a great comment at one point, that the democratic platform needs to have protecting marginalized people not even a thought. It will be such a baseline of the platform that protecting people is not negotiable. And we will no stand by while those people’s rights are eroded. That’s where all fights begin, the conversations don’t even include the culture wars over this because protecting those people is a non starter.

It’s worth watching the whole video, AOC is the type of politician that actually has a chance to have a party that represents the working class.

The mere continued use of the phrase “unskilled work” is undermining your stance. No work is unskilled.

You’re missing the point. I don’t think most people have a problem saying there are different levels of skill based employment. Does designing a skyscraper take more skill than managing the lunch rush at a McDonald’s? Probably, but by saying working in fast food is an unskilled trade is propaganda to keep wages for those jobs low.

There is a definite skill for handling noon at a McDonald’s. Maybe it’s different than doing high level math for engineering but it’s not unskilled.

That’s where the issue is for most people that don’t like the punching down at “unskilled workers”

This is the same argument I have with my parents when they say that “unskilled workers” have jobs and not careers. And they use that as a justification for not paying them a living wage, “it’s not supposed to be a job forever” is usually the answer I get.

If you contribute 40 hours of labor to the country’s GDP, you should expect to be able to have shelter, food and medical care. That’s not asking a lot.

Creating a class of full time employees below that basic level is disgusting.
