I am grateful for the people who aren’t ready to fold on $15. I believe we will still win.

With a Democratic president, a Democratic House and a Democratic Senate, it shouldn’t have to be such a fight.

If based on state census, CA shouldn't have the same number of senators as WV, nor NY as MT, but politics my friends, politics.

At least two outta 3 of those aren't fighting for it. Biden and the Senate don't want it. They don't want to do anything to lift the American people. Just their donors.
Yes but it’s some snakes that finally come out of the hole and sleeper cells within the Democratic Party that needs to be exposed and dismissed
When the Democratic President (@POTUS), the Democratic House Leader (@SpeakerPelosi) & the Democratic Senate Leader (@SenSchumer) are owned by the same corporate interests as the GOP, it's clear they never intended $15hr to pass and are trying to blame the GOP for their failure.
LOL Biden is no Democrat.

You're new to the fight aren't you.
It’s not a fight. It’s an act in three parts. Pure theater.

We have seen the enemy, and he is us. Well he is also in this case a she that serves only an advisory function that can easily be overruled. He is also the lack of will to do anything bold or substantive. (This version doesn’t roll of off the tongue but it’s nonetheless true.)
They are controlled by their donors and corporations. Of course it was going to be this difficult. It should be $22 by now, not $15. We need the French model where wage increases yearly based on inflation, but we have our heads stuck in our asses here in the USA

Alas it depends if you consider Establishment Democrats as fighting for the majority or Republican-lite?
