Only seven states currently bar “subminimum” pay for tipped workers like bartenders and restaurant servers, but activists see 2024 as ripe to expand the tally to as many as 20.
A) When have Democrats been able to pass legislation on their own?
–When they controlled two branches of government.
B) What extreme-right concessions do you want them to make to get enough votes for mildly left policy to pass today? Jail all trans to get a federal minimum wage bump? Is that worth it?
–lol
I love that your counter to this is: They’re just oh so powerless, when they controlled two branches of government twice in the last sixteen years AND had a supermajority for a portion of that time. They had all the power they needed. They were just more concerned with adding to their own pocketbooks than doing right by their constituents.
They did not have a super majority. This is well documented if you actually paid attention.
I love the idea that having Joe Manchin elected as a Democrat means they should have been able to pass every single thing. You clearly were not paying attention to the Herculean efforts put in to sway Manchin that failed. I’d love to hear what you would have done differently to get legislation past Manchin. But I’m guessing you’ll just ignore that, along with my ask as to what extreme right concessions you’d make today.
