    Lmao Biden and the Democrats? Are you high? Part of Bidens covid relief bill included a $15 minimum wage. It was struck out of the bill by a vote of 58-42. A grand total of 7(well, 6, since Sinema isn’t a Dem anymore and never really was) democrats voted against it. EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN voted against it.

    Now tell me, why is it “Biden and the Democrats” fault when they actually try to improve things but fail(even if the 6/7 nay dems had voted yeah, that’s still at best 49 yeahs), but never Republicans fault when they actually DO vote in lockstep to prevent any democrat endorsed legislation from passing, and when a significant percentage of them are actively trying to strip rights away from people?

    Oh, I forgot to mention; while Biden doesn’t have the executive power to unilaterally raise the national minimum wage, he DOES have the power to raise the minimum wage for employees of the federal government, which… he did.
