In '21 a bill to more than double the minimum wage to $15/hr failed due to Republicans in Congress
With the help of 8 members of the Democratic caucus.
There will never be another national minimum wage increase. And every centrist loves it that way.
Note that I said national. Not “well, it covers government employees and blue states, so you worthless flyover morlocks be happy with 2.13 plus tips because we’ve got ours, fuck you.”
“And every centrist loves it that way.” bull. fucking. shit. im a centerist and agree to raising the minimum wage even though I would prefer a maximum wage. don’t make generalizations.
I guess it depends on what you think of as center. By republican standards im super commie liberal whatever just like any opponent they face no matter how conservative, but by like 1970’s standards im just left of center.

That’s what they chose with their votes, and they object to us Trying to give more. Just like they vote against healthcare coverage and object when we try to cover them anyway
We’re not (supposed to be) a tyranny. If they keep rejecting additional aid, keep turning away quality of life improvements, don’t accept our money to raise them out of their mess, at the end of the day, that’s their choice.
If they want to vote against their own best interests, blaming gerrymandering and manipulation hasn’t gotten anywhere and they need to take responsibility for their own votes. I’m running out of fucks to give

And the people in those states that don’t that to happen? Guess they deserve lifelong poverty for being outnumbered. You got yours. Fuck me. And you wonder why the party that happily gloats that they have nothing they’re willing to offer red states keeps losing red states.

I do not give the Republican-adjacent wing of the party the benefit of the doubt.

“The Repubs and 8 Dems, therefore all Dems evil,” fantastic content as usual, EC.
If you want to pretend that Republicans didn’t have help from Democrats, don’t expect zero pushback.
And I clearly limited my criticism to the anti-labor centrist wing of the party.

Sure. Everyone in a red state deserves poverty.
