Comment on Bernie Sanders Champions 32-Hour Work Week With No Loss in Pay

We have proof that it works (nothing is forever), that it’s doable, so wouldn’t that be the first step, instead of outside of the system extremism?

I’ve seen countless times of things we need being completely ignored by the system. When it’s inconvenient enough it will simply never get passed. We can fight for it, and win, but if the same system remains in place, once again, what we won was a concession that can and will be taken away at the nearest chance. You showing me an example of a rich youtuber followed by millions of people being able to do it doesn’t change what the situation is like for regular people like you and me. You can do both if you want to, just don’t think emailing a bunch of rich aristocrats is going to ever have a reasonable chance of being meaningful. Seriously, if you want to make real change, join an org.
Also, “extremism” just means things that go against the status quo. It’s not a synonym for “bad”.
