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.
Everytime I say this shit I get wrecked but it's true. Dems ALSO do not care about us at all.
Conveniently there's always enough traitor dems to make fascism win. But never enough collaboration to push the bar the other way.

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 👉🏽👈🏽
In 2021 the Democrats had a majority in the House.
Okay that makes a lot more sense.
