Democratic Socialists have a chance to do the funniest thing in New Hampshire. Karishma Manzur is within striking distance of oligarch errand boy Chris Pappas. (lemmy.nz)

I suggest electing the PhD, instead of the career politician.

Karishma Manzur earned a high school diploma from the Cambridge School of Weston. She went on to earn a bachelor's degree from the University of Rochester in 1998 and a Ph.D. from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in 2004.

Karishma Manzur is a medical scientist with a Ph.D. in biochemistry and molecular biology. She spent over 20 years working on treatments for illnesses like Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy, and depression.

Chris Pappas graduated from Manchester Central High School in 1998. He then attended Harvard College, earning his Bachelor of Arts in government in 2002.[6] While at Harvard he wrote for The Harvard Crimson.[7]

Career politicians aren't always bad. And PhDs aren't always good. Bernie Sanders is awesome and Dr Phil sucks.

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Our Philosophies:

All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.

Our Goals

Higher wages for underpaid workers.
Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
Better and fewer working hours.
Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.
