They don’t hate themselves, they hate you.

I could get behind this if not for the fact that 63% of respondents in a recent poll in WVA supported a $15 min. wage. And if libertarian paradise Florida can pass a $15 min wage then I’d say it could pass anywhere else.

Yes. Keep voting for Democrats despite the fact that they don’t give a shit about poor, working and oppressed people enough to even put up the most basic resistance to the GOP. What’s that saying about the definition of insanity again?

Joe Biden has been the same, right-wing politician for his entire career. What did you expect?

Thank you! Joe Biden has been the same politician for the entirety of his 40+  year career. He is, and always has been, a right-wing politician

Actually, I wouldn’t call her feckless. She rather efficient at serving the ruling class who control the Democrat party. 

Have you not been paying attention to how the GOP operates for the last 12 or so years? Do you really need to ask that question? Are the limits of your political imagination such that you can’t even fathom how the leader of a party and its highest ranking officials could bring their party members in line? No answer I…

You can’t rebut the argument on its merits so you focus on a typo. Great work, my guy!

I know they aren’t going to die on that hill. That’s the problem. And $15 already is a compromise. If the min. wage was actually indexed to inflation and reflected productivity it would be around $25-$28.

How much difference would that actually make? The guy votes with the GOP 85 -90% of the time. He’s already a Republican. I know what you’re going to say. MITCH MCONNELL! GOP OBSTRUCTION! WE HAVE TO KEEP THE MAJORITY! Btw all of those Federalist Society nutjobs Trump put on the bench were not all confirmed along strict…

Again. If they wanted to, they could easily get them on board. I’ll say it directly. The Dems do not want a $15 minimum wage. 

Democrats don’t need Joe Manchin for anything other than being the fall guy for killing progressive legislation they ostensibly support but secretly want to kill.

If history is any indicator, you’re loosing the Senate anyway. So why not do something that may improve your chances of keeping it. 32 million people would see their annual income raised by at least $3000 and tens of thousands of people would be lifted out of poverty. That’s a great campaign ad. The only reason the…

Or

If you you really want media that will help you face your privilege and try to understand the situation, you could do a whole hell of a lot better than the root.

Neither Obama nor the Dems were ever actually on board with reparations of any kind, much less a check. This is jut Obama, once again, trying to paper over his record and failed presidency.

Same here.

Libya had the highest standard of living on the continent before the NATO coup. Now it’s a failed state with open air slave markets and warring factions that further destabilize the region. You should be mad too.

I meant I’m not mad Neera Tanden won’t be confirmed. She’s a terrible person with terrible politics. She doesn’t deserve to be anywhere near the levers of power. Fuck Joe Manchin too!

I can’t believe I’m typing this, but not everything is necessarily about race. Yes Republicans are racists, but they are also imperialists and corporatists. Had you bothered to take even a cursory look at the records and political ideologies of the people already confirmed versus the people who weren’t or are facing…
