- ambicapter 3y agoWhat are we supposed to know about Working Families members? Seems like they're a political party extremely local to me.
- senkora 3y agoThey almost always run as both democrats and working families. It’s effectively a marker that a democratic candidate is progressive.
- thebigman433 3y agoWhy is that something to note?
- delfinom 3y agoWorking Families is the real progressive party in NY since the Dems are largely corporatists and a organizationally rotting party. Our previous Emperor Cuomo actively went out of his way to suppress the party since they threatened both the DNC and his manipulate to play the 2 party standoff game for his own benefit. I wouldn't be surprised with Cuomo out of the picture that the WF party continues to increase in size.
- msla 3y ago> corporatists https://www.sjsu.edu/faculty/watkins/corporatism.htm https://www.sjsu.edu/faculty/watkins/corporatism.htm So they're pro-union? > The basic idea of corporatism is that the society and economy of a country should be organized into major interest groups (sometimes called corporations) and representatives of those interest groups settle any problems through negotiation and joint agreement. In contrast to a market economy which operates through competition a corporate economic works through collective bargaining.
- thebigman433 3y agoAh yea, great point. I thought the original comment was implying something negative about them. WFP is great and I do really hope they can continue gaining size.
