Raising the min wage from $7.25/hr to $15/hr would increase wages of 32 million workers, a majority of whom currently live below poverty line. If the Dems refuse to do this, they’ll surrender all moral authority among millions of people whose votes they will need in the midterms.

smaller increases are better
I don't know of many, actually I know zero, democratic voters who believe in the morality of their party - or any party.

Joe Biden and the Democrats that support him ... by their actions ... have already lost the midterms!

Also, the $15 minimum wage would be a permanent fix as opposed to the one time $1,400 stimulus checks and unemployment which ends in August.

When these workers qualify for the COVID-19 vaccine they MUST be compensated in pay for the days they won’t be able to work due to vax side effects. As a HCW I got my 2nd dose on 2/27. On 2/28 I had a 101.3° fever. ALL workers need guaranteed salary compensation due 2 side effect

ALL moral authority? So much better than Trump. It is disappointing that $15 not happening now but just got into office. Hoping it will pass later this year.

They surrendered moral authority 30 years ago when the New Dems took over. All Dem establish are Republicans masquerading as 1970s style labor, social, and environmental justice dems. They give platitudes and pass punitive bills to those they claim to represent. #DINO
