      Do you consider 7 out of 48 Dems to be a lot? Versus every single republican?

        What percentage of Sanders supporters do you imagine voted for Trump?

        Do you suppose it’s higher than the percentage of Democrats in the Senate who were willing to go on record as hating workers by voting to kill the minimum wage increase?

        Because Sanders supporters are still catching shit for the loss Clinton earned, regardless of who they actually voted for in 2016.

        If we’re expected to vote like the party wants, why aren’t legislators?

            I suppose it makes little sense to you that I was comparing centrists not getting what they want (Clinton’s coronation) to centrists getting exactly what they all want (no increase to the minimum wage.).

      The 2021 federal minimum wage vote had 41 Yea votes from Democrats, 1 from Independent. 7 Democrats and 1 Independent voted Nay. Every single Republican voted Nay.

      Yeah, Kirsten Sinema (currently an independent and dropped out) and Joe Manchin (who will also be gone soon).

      So by “many” you mean “two”?And do you think if those two senators are replaced with GOP senators it will make an increase in minimum wage more likely?

      The “uniparty” meme is a Marjorie Taylor Greene thing. Do you agree with the space laser lady?

        Some of the strongest worker protections in the country and the CCPA. Really makes you wonder how much more you could get if young adults actually voted in elections.
