Have we discussed what in the everliving gently caress "better wages" means, esp when it's coming from the mouths of people who have tirelessly fought against a $15/hr minwage

It means "this pittance should be enough to shut you proles up."

You know they didn't say what skills, and how they would lead to better jobs and wages.

The DSA and others should open training seminars to teach people unionizing skills, then have the unions bargain to get better jobs and better wages.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

"nothing actually means anything unless i can interpret it to make me personally upset" is probably not a real healthy way of looking at the world

I mean, I could see something to the idea that a politician's "message" matters more than the campaign platform

but usually the message defines the platform and vice-versa, the two ideas are linked inextricably

You only really have a problem when that's not true, like for example Hillary Clinton had no message and a platform she mostly lifted from Bernie and mentioned as little as possible
