I’m shocked. The Republicans will win the House and possibly Senate in 2022. Warnock could easily lose Georgia in 2022. Might as well throw Biden’s presidency in the trash. He must win a battle for an increase in minimum wage before next year. If 8 senators voted against it, what makes you think that Kamala stepping in to shove it to a floor vote would yield any different result? This really isn’t Biden’s fault — one Dem senator could kill the amendment and there’s as many as 8 of them who would. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphine Prince 109,926 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I’ll say it louder for the people in the back: $15/hr IS the compromise. The REAL minimum wage should be something like $24/hr. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, but Democrats are the only ones we can rely on to at least be pushed towards progressive policies. The political choices in the US are abysmal.

The problem lies within the Democratic Party not being a leftist party like some of us would want. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some days it feels like the only priority was getting Trump and Pence out. It was. “We are not Trump” was the main message from the Democratic Party in 2020. If they fail to deliver on things that actually help people they will lose in the future. Don’t forget 74M people voted for Trump in 2020. After everything he had done. You have to come in ready to fight fascism with bold action that will completely destroy any chances of them succeeding in the future. Democrats aren’t the party to do that.

It's nice they're working on getting the pandemic under control, but outside of that I'm not impressed by anything else happening. Like wtf? Take the damn gloves off and come out swinging already.

The future for them really is looking bleak. At this rate they are bound to lose the house and the senate in 2022 and then Trump has set himself up for a comeback in 2024. Who are the dems going to run against him? Kamala? Please... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we'll see, things can be unpredictable in a midterm election. My biggest concern is gerrymandering, with the incomplete census data that is determining the seat distribution and republicans controlling most major state legislatures, there is gonna be huge congressional gerrymandering, especially in states with conservative supreme courts (Looking at Florida) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphine Prince 109,926 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Republicans are working on voter suppression for the midterms right now as we speak. Your taxes for 2021 will go up as part of Trump’s tax plan in 2017. It will be blamed on Biden. I want you to understand that us more left leaning people are critical of Democrats but we don’t want you to lose. Democrats are the only hope for any progress in this country and it’s ridiculous to see how nothing gets done when Republicans are literal fascists and aren’t afraid to get dirty.
