Honestly wasn’t so sure about this whole ‘force the vote’ stuff

I was of the mind that if you “voted blue no matter who” we’d just end up with a bunch on conservative democrats. Which did happen and wouldn’t make a difference, right?

But now I’m looking at it in a different light. Bernie “forced the vote” on a minimum wage increase and a bunch of the conservative democrats had to vote no on it. And people are (rightfully) pissed at them.

In my particular neck of the wood, Senator Sinema made a point of doing a cutesy little hip pop with her chocolate cake in hand as she gleefully voted ‘no’ on the minimum wage increase and then bounced away. And people are pissed at that. it was so bad, She now faces a legitimate threat of in the primaries from the left. I was actually suprised at that level of backlash. And here I was, starting to think the Democratic voter base was just going to morph into blue maga. Hahaha

Senator Sinema had her John McCain moment. So happy she got backlash for her weird behavior.

@SW-User Thanks for the B.A.

That's not exactly what happened. The vote was on whether to put the minimum wage increase back into the stimulus bill. Bernie knew it was not going to happen, because the Senate rules do not allow for it. It must now be a separate bill, and that's what Sinema and others voted on.

I am surprised with those who voted yes. It's the equivalent of Trump asking Pence to decertify the election. Something he cannot do.

@Northwest so whats it about then? most americans support a 15 dollar an hour increase, especially in the democratic voter pool. You're emphasizing 'minority rights' to keep the minimum wage down, but ignoring the fact that the majority in favor of a minimum wage increase is made up of collective minority support. As you can see from this chart, the increase is supported overwhelmingly by minority groups such as black, and hispanic people. women as well.

And now you're graduating from missing the point, to plain lying.

I don't think you really understand what actually happened, what it actually means, and why your manufactured outrage over give-aways is misguided.

@NoahB Except you're promoting greed and acting like you are brainwashed.
