The minimum wage has been 7 bucks for almost 20 years, across multiple Democratic and Republican administrations, but sure, one party is totally anti-poverty.
The votes to raise the minimum wage that have reached the floor since then have been split on party lines, and the Republicans are the ones voting against.
In the time period that you are talking about the Dems controlled the house, Senate, and Whitehouse for something like 3-4 months. They were busy with the ACA during that time period. They should have raised the minimum wage then, but I don’t think they realized they would keep losing the house and Senate for the next 15 years
Ya huh. Repubs have all the power now and they’re still doing shit illegally or by executive order because governmental obstruction is such an issue. Ie. You live in a Dreamworld.
But I’m not sure how you can look at the last ten months of Donald’s presidency and honestly conclude that Democrats were powerless to do good these last 20 years.
It’s unreasonable.
Democrats lied to us and got rich selling us out to their golf buddies. That’s it.
I totally get when people say both parties are bad and don’t vote at all or vote third parties. I live in a multi party system so the whole concept is foreign to me. But the meme isn’t pro Democrats but against Republicans. Sure, voting Dems won’t save the US, change always comes through pressure from below, from the street. But voting for Rep*blicans is just Evil at this point.
Just two different flavors of it. Hell, Biden was helping Israel genocide a whole ethnic group and systemically starve them. Not exactly feel-good stuff from the leader of the Democratic Party.
Democrats largely are for the status quo and maybe adding a few more popular progressive ideas that don’t rock the boat or affect their benefactors. It seems like Israel is in a place that is too convenient to keep the current geopolitical status quo.
Unfortunately, we also have a voting system on the federal level that promotes two parties and both are really just tools used against the proletariat to keep everyone just preoccupied enough to keep from mass rioting.
LOL

So, what you’re saying is, when Democrats have power there isn’t a vote at all.
Funny coincidence, that.

That’s crazy because they acted like they would lose it even then.
So it’s perfectly reasonable to expect that they do something. Yes.
You live in a Dreamworld.
You’re right.
Expecting Democrats to actually do what they say when they have the power to do so is a dream.
Ya huh. Repubs have all the power now and they’re still doing shit illegally or by executive order because governmental obstruction is such an issue. Ie. You live in a Dreamworld.
Oh they suck too, don’t get me wrong.
