MODERATORS
They had enough seats. There were democrats that voted against the damn thing, and I dont just mean Manchin and Sinema.
Yet somehow when 100% of Republicans voted against they are held blameless as they are expected to be fully servile to the corporate class, and only Democrats have the obligation to pass laws.
Republicans dont survive out in the open on places like here. If a post showed up by a republican trying to argue against minimum wage, it'd get obliterated with rebuttals.
Even when criticizing democrats, its only when theyre acting like republicans.
I support raising the minimum wage, but there should be an exemption for people living with middle class parents.
you raise the minimum wage so they dont have to live with their parents
"But what if we accidentally help too many people?"
I have no power over what republicans do because I don't vote for them and never have. There is no reason for them to acknowledge me. Therefore I can scream to the high heavens about them sucking, and they won't change a thing. Democrats I've voted for before, they actually have reason to listen to what I want to happen because it can net or cost them a vote.
Ill tell you what, you go yell at republicans and see how much progress you make, and I'll continue to raise my concerns to those that have reason to listen to them.
Living in a red state it feels like screaming into a void, as unfortunately the only discernable desires from the right wing base are "please tread on me, corporations" and "please shield my kids from new ideas," with an endless supply of pundits and politicians selling that shtick.
That's because Republicans aren't people, and they aren't really pretending to be with any particular effort. Democrats are claiming to be the good guys
Even so, it'd still require 2/3, because sole Republican shill would just filibuster it.
