This misses the point. The point is no one, especially someone who has given back to to society by preforming labor, should be left out in the cold.

I feel like you hear the top line because those specific liberals are trying to convince independents, moderates, conservatives, and people on the right to agree on at least something. Many of the people they’re trying to convince would give a big “NO” if they didn’t include that 40 hours part.

The fact that there isn’t even a “YES” with the 40 hours part caveat is the bad sign.

I don’t think most of the people labeled as liberals would disagree with what the people labeled leftist are saying, but their trying to convince the other people that aren’t even bought in to the first step.

This is also an issue where the people that don’t want to help others have over 50% of the power in the US federal government currently.

Our energy should be focused on bringing these progressive help options to everyone at the state level right now to have the greatest chance of getting these programs implemented.

No shit. If it worked a different way people wouldn't be talking about it.

Neither is how it works, the point is to change how it works so that we achieve these goals.
