And would happen again because the party is addicted to losing.
You're still thinking Bernie expects this to pass, and he isn't going to use it against them once they block it.
This is ammo for the 2026 and 2028 pocket.
"Hey remember when Republicans shot down my notion of raising minimum wage to $17/h?!"
"They what!?"
"Those fuckers!"
Republicans don't care about voting history, they care about the R next to a candidate on the ballot. You could tell them that their Rep voted aginast securing them a better life, and they'd tell you "Sounds like commie talk, MAGA!!" And if you show a canidate who would give them a better life, they'd just say something about wokeism or whatever, and then claim they know what's best for America.
Democrats won't care about a Republican's voting history, because they're not going to vote for a Republican.
Voting records don't really do anything for Republican dipshits.
If that strategy ever worked Bernie would've been president in 2016. Hell I just pointed out he tried it in 2021 and it hasn't yielded shit.
Just to be clear, this means that enough House Republicans defected to pass the bill but Senate Democrats killed it. These guys are literally worse than Republicans.
In 2021 the Democrats had a majority in the House.
Okay that makes a lot more sense.
Everytime I say this shit I get wrecked but it's true. Dems ALSO do not care about us at all.
I'll never understand a system where people can pass laws for minimum wage, when they make way way way more than that. If they think that 15 dollars is too much per hour, they should only make 7 dollars and it's fine. I know it's utopian, but that things like that should just happen. Minimum wage itself is kind of gross itself. Like, i would love to pay you less, but i'm not allowed to 👉🏽👈🏽
Conveniently there's always enough traitor dems to make fascism win. But never enough collaboration to push the bar the other way.
Ratchet effect
"No I voted for him, so he really cares about me as he votes to strip me of my rights and ignore my phone calls!"
