Last night, every Senate Democrat voted for my amendment calling for a $17 an hour federal minimum wage while every Republican but 1 opposed it. The movement to raise the minimum wage to a living wage is growing.
In 2025, a job must lift you out of poverty, not keep you in it.

Raise the minimum wage to $17/hr, so we can start living in 2018. Then abolish landlords and billionaires.
is this really so difficult to understand?
or do you just want stable but low wages for workers who have to beg legislators for increases?
(legislators whose donors are from business class)
How about economists putting consumer Depreciation into the NET Domestic Product equation.
Marx used the word 'depreciation' 40+ times in Das Kapital.
Has Bernie heard of Marx?
We the left never fight for what we believe. It used to be that most people loved dreamers, The Republicans fought to the nails to paint them as monsters and now people think they are criminals. We need to fight for what we believe!
Of course we’d all like the federal minimum wage to be adjusted right now to what it should be, but Congress is full of capitalists.
And Genocide an entire race of people as we lose sleep watching from our phones.

At this rate, it will take another DECADE to raise the living wage.
Bernie has shown us the way & we know it is true
Either the DNC bans corporate donations (extremely unlikely) or WE need to, as a COLLECTIVE of AMERICAN VOTERS, disavow ALL candidates who accept corporate donations.
Do not vote for them

It ain't right! It ain't Christian! And it sure as shit ain't constitutional.
The democrats. Let’s build on this momentum. Centrist dems should move more left. There is no other choice.
They hate "socialism" but happily let paying their staff be subsidised. (I know the UK best)
Dependency on billionaire funding, yeah I know... But still! How the hell can their voters swallow that shit?

Where's the bill making the penalty for corporate crime loss of ownership stake? I hear asset forfeiture is constitutional. Give seized asset to workers.

Blame the war on Ukraine on Trump. When he withheld the defense funding in 2018.
Blame Trump for the war & coronavirus!

We know the problems. Who will stand up and talk solutions?
Democrats keep SAYING they will raise taxes on the wealthy, but we’ve heard it for nearly 25 years.
Democrats keep SAYING they will raise the minimum wage. Again 20 years of this broken promise.
