MODERATORS
In 2/3 of the US it's still legal to pay someone $7 an hour, and has been since 2008 across multiple Democratic and Republican administrations.
It really does suck that both parties are rabidly capitalist.
Thank you for being exhibit A.
News flash: Minimum wage is by definition an example of regulated capitalism.
Want it to move up? Then move the overton window by telling the free for all side that they have no chance of winning.
You have to give people a reason to vote, man. People do not care if the candidate of change is a fascist when the guy in office already has demonstrated that he doesn't give a fuck if there's food on your family's table. You saw it in 2016.
For the vast majority of this country, the last 40 years have been one long, tortured loss of economic and social liberty, and Joe Biden's presidency has been an enthusiastic participant in it by doing next-to-nothing to alleviate it.
He did make hundreds of billions appear out of thin air overnight though, for more war.
You continue to be exhibit A, you carefully try to avoid saying capitalism but your message is clear. Cheers.
Republicans want it to be lower.
"Stop letting assholes actively make things worse" is a reason to vote. You can choose less evil. Why the fuck wouldn't you.
