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?
Labor Day.
As for pride, it’s because they were (still are) stigmatized, shoved into the closet, persecuted, beat up, and even killed. It’s a moment for them to say we’re here and we belong. Maybe we’ll get to the day when no one cares.
As for the rest of the list, I think you’re vastly overestimating how much political time (as in Congress and similar state) this gets. It’s a parade, it’s not trying to write new legislation.
They took International Workers’ Day (May Day) away from us and gave us red hot dogs and Labor Day that isn’t a paid holiday and most people don’t get off work.
