Always talking about minimums, but never maximums.

    Good start, but if they think this is going to end this absolutely insane wealth disparity they have another thing coming.

    No one policy is going to do that on its own. Criticizing one that that would help because it's not all the things, is fucking stupid

    Criticizing it because it will never pass and it’s just a sham they are selling so you vote for their genocidal asses is not fucking stupid.

    Repeatedly saying "this won't pass" Everytime a fix is proposed GIVES THEM PERMISSION TO NOT PASS IT.

    You're telling politicians that you won't get mad at them for blocking it. You've already accepted defeat. Stop it.

    Hot take: Progressive congresspeople should focus on ending union-busting, not on increasing minimum wage. The unions can handle minimum wage.

    Can we make bets on it not passing? I could use the extra money.
