Well, loosely speaking:
Democrats sometimes shit on employees but do support some measures to help workers. Republicans never support measures to help workers.

- llbeansandrice 4y agoThe Democrats you are referencing have about as much in common with the modern Democratic party as cars and carpenters.
- jjtheblunt 4y agoyeah, i said that in the comment you responded to, second sentence.
- wilg 4y agoIn that case, here's a simpler version for you that eliminates historical complexity: The left sometimes shits on employees but does support some measures to help workers. The right never supports measures to help workers.
- jjtheblunt 4y agoI do know what you mean, of course. I even say so in my second sentence. I don't know data on how the experience of small businesses are, with respect to political parties. Do worker protections become beneficial to small business employers and employees? Often the discussions center around large employers and exploitation of workers, and protection (by Democrats) of those workers and (by Republicans) of employers.
- VincentEvans 4y agoCouldn’t think of anything at all from the events of this or even the last century?
- standardUser 4y ago"The Democrats were pro slavery," Who exactly do you think is fooled by that kind of toddler logic?
- mrguyorama 4y agoLots of republicans are still fooled by this and still claim that they are the party of lincoln, as if lincoln would have gone through the horseshit of the civil war and eventual decision to "free" the slaves and then 100 years later vote against the civil rights act, and thing republicans actually did.
- jjtheblunt 4y agoThere is no shortage of factual history articles about that period, which don't rely on your laughable "toddler logic" but instead on actually checking facts, and i clearly said in my comment that the terms shifted in applicability over time. https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=democratic+party+slavery&ia=web https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=democratic+party+slavery&ia... that query shows historical articles including from sources outside the united states, from widely varying perspectives, and without therefore axes to grind. It's plainly interesting, and, yes, inconvenient and frankly gross.
- nashashmi 4y agoThe republicans do support measures to help workers if it helps the employer find more workers. It's a capitalist/socialist mantra to get everyone working and punish those who don't work.
- syzarian 4y agoThe act of working is not what helps people live a better life. The act of working in humane conditions for human wages and benefits does. Paraphrasing Mencken: A Republican is someone with the haunting fear that a poor person somewhere is benefiting “unjustly”.
- encryptluks2 4y agoIt is projection 100%. After all they are the Gaslight Obstruct and Project party.
- nashashmi 4y agoI doubt any policies are fundamentally for better working conditions. The models of capitalism and socialism do not support this.
- syzarian 4y agoOSHA was set up to ensure better working conditions. Regulations regarding wage theft, mandatory paid time off, limit to the number of hours one can work in a week, etc. are all made for better working conditions. You appear to be know very little about the history of labor laws and their purpose.
