The prophetic voice is fierce when it has to be. Love includes radical truth-telling, even - and perhaps especially - when it’s inconvenient for the status quo.

We voted for folks because they said, “Elect me and I am going to deal with systemic racism and I am going to pass a living wage of $15 an hour,” which is a compromise in and of itself. We have to hold people to what they said. salon.com/2021/03/08/rev-wil…

If politicians promise one thing ... but deliver something quite different ... they do need to be held accountable ...

📣🗣 DEMS have about 50 Days to enact substantive Legislation [EX: GND-Pand Relief-M4A-Living Wage] prior to start of 2022 Election Cycle! Substantive Legislation should greatly help in convincing Traditional Non-voters to Register-Vote in 2022‼️✔

True. And some of us believed and some of us didn’t believe politicians that have a previous history of telling untruths and making broken promises. How do we tell if we are fighting for or against status quo?

everything you say makes sense (love to overcome hate, corporate ethics changes in the 80's, etc...). my assumption is, sadly, you make too much sense, so 'party bosses' tend to 'discredit' you. but that's only based on my outsider opinion. what do you think?

How many republicans voted for it?

Love also includes radical truth-being. One can attempt to “tell” others and “hold”others accountable all they want, but it is meaningless when one isn’t telling and holding themselves accountable first. This goes for every single one of us.

as i have observed, pres. biden has been consistent in his approach that covid must be controlled first. his proposal for increased minimum wage was in his first bill. why not wait a minute or two and see how else he plans to accomplish this before we hold his feet to the fire.
