Once again, a list of emotional responses that demonstrate frustration with compromise, but ignorance of politics. This bill passes the Senate with Harris' vote and could not have passed at all with a $15 minimum wage. You can't get anywhere with your all or nothing notions. This bill makes major inroads in several areas directly beneficial to families, children, Covid relief, famile and state income shortages, etc. To hang all your frustration on not getting the min wage you wanted and to demand a third party to cater to your far left interests would mean GOP domination of politics until the third party collapsed or faschism took over entirely.

Pay attention to what Bernie said about the bill. He understands it was the best we could get right now. Find some ways to support more Democrates and organizing for voter turn-out in the next elections. Under all previous examples of elections results mid-term, the party in power loses seats. If you don't support Dems and go third party, we all lose. Remember what Ralph Nader and Jill Stein did to Dems in the past, and get over yourselves.
