Democrats - don't make the mistake of only confronting Trump and the Republican. Yes, they are evil and immoral, but Democrats must define themselves as the party of the working class. Every minute/every day they must outline their policies that improves the lives of the working class in America.

Minimum wage hasn't changed in decades. How many times have Dems shutdown the govt to demand it be increased? The Dem establishment is sadly almost as corrupt. We need more AOCs and Mamdanis who will fight for actual working people.

Uh our minimum wage in Washington state is 15 bucks an hour. So yes in civilized America it has changed. In Red America it’ll never change.

BTW, most of the "working people" feverishly voted for Trump three times. It looks like these working people aren't interested in someone who fights for them.

Tell them that banks compete with governments over who gets to create money. And that when our government creates our currency to pay for our healthcare it makes banks sad because they can’t sell as many loans

Banks create loans if they created money we would not have had the 2008 crash.

True. Banks create dollar denominated bank credit money. They don’t create our currency, ie, don’t create the dollar itself. And private credit = Private debt so nets to 0 Public credit = Private net financial assets we can use to settle our private debts

How many voters support minimum wage increase? It seems that there are two camps: - Those who oppose it and will vote against anyone proposing it - Those who support it, but half of them vote Republican It seems that it's not the issue to run on.

Well this is cowardly. Thats what I want as a president! A coward! Who doesn't have the conviction to raise a wage that has been stuck for 30 years. Despite the cost of living increasing and billionaires each having more money than god at the public's expense. lol. What even is the point of power?

Minimum wage increase has at least 80% public support. It's an extremely easy win for Dems.

Exactly. BlueMAGA people like them tend to forget that the reason that it wasn't increased during Biden's presidency was because the Parliamentarian didn't allow it to be included in a larger bill,

and instead of going the more popular Republican route of ignoring the Parliamentarian, they sat back and let it die, knowing that there would be no other chance in the future to bring it to a vote as its own separate bill. www.latimes.com/archives/la-...

Yeah, that was one of the many things where Biden's Democrats needed to stop kowtowing to systemic failures and start growing spines.
