If only Democrats had the stones to do this.
He could just as well introduce one to raise it to $17000 and a car as bonus.
He knows it has no chance so that’s why he does it.
The sheepdog is virtue signaling again pretending to be progressive.People are triggered by your statement but it’s literally true. I mean…
He voted for the 2001 AUMF in Afghanistan.
He voted for the 1988 Iraq Liberation Act.
He endorsed 2024 U.S./UK strikes on Yemen.
He supported bombing Yugoslavia in the nineties.
He backed Libya regime change.
He backed drone strikes in Somalia.
Interestingly, he always does the American thing right before backtracking. He’s the perfect example of a progressive controlled politician. I mean, we just need to take a look at him: old, frail, and weak-looking, he has never succeeded in any meaningful way.
He’s no leader and is only relevant today as a means of appeasing Trump’s opposition with gaslighting nonsense like this bill.
The US has been compromised from within, fighting against fascism alongside those who allowed it to happen is terribly stupid.
Oof. So what should he be doing instead?
Go away preferably so people are not misled by this zionist faker
Thanks for getting Trump elected. Your pragmatic thinking is super helpful.
Sweet. $17/hr * 40 = $680 a week * 4 = $2720 a month * 52 = $32640 all before tax. Still not enough to live on.
Trump proposes bill to make minimum tip $17.
It’ll need to be $400 by 2030 to keep up with Trumpflation.
It already realistically needs to be between 25-30 an hr to even be considered a living wage.
Then we make two wages, one we call minimum, the other we call living. That way it’s easy to know if a place is offering a living wage or if it’s just unimportant work.
Then we make two wages, one we call minimum, the other we call living.
That way we can tell the difference between the morlocks and the eloi.
Should read “benefiting all Americans”
NO!! Not a number! Tie it to inflation, as a proportion!! Picking a specific number is what got us in this mess in the first place
I’m sadly starting to think Bernie is a Neoliberal in disguise
Ah, the Left. Always eating itself.
everyone is a neoliberal except me
He’s going to tell us to vote for another Neoliberal after drumming up all this support.
Watch.
And if he does? Preferring a neoliberal to a fascist does not make one a neoliberal, especially if a neoliberal has a better shot at preventing a fascist from gaining office than a leftist. Bernie is a social democrat and a pragmatist, and if that’s not left enough for you than say that, but don’t get your ideologies confused.
Everyone has already forgotten what happened when the DNC used Bernie to try to bait and switch his voters for Hilary. We might be cooked if everyone has already forgotten this strategy doesn’t work.
The DNC Neoliberals also funded fringe right wing campaigns to give themselves easy competition, and instead lost to them. Making them partially responsible for Trump ever gaining power, they paved the road every step of the way through fucking insane excuses that limp fuck neolibs just keep lapping up like dogs.
I personally can’t ever vote for another Republican or Democrat again, MAYBE if an actual leftist is the democratic canidate. But IMO the only way to free ourselves is to end the Duopoly forever, there’s no baby in that bathwater.
without looking it up what is neoliberalism and how is it different from social democracy or, indeed, liberalism?
Neoliberals are people pretending to be leftists that suck rich cock instead of representing the majority of their electorate.
And that neo-liberal will be the only option that has a snowball’s chance to beat Republicans.
Sanders isn’t so starry-eyed as to undermine better in the pursuit of perfect.
He’s been doing this a LOT longer than you.
Just like the time that worked in 2016 right?
We’re cooked lol
Benefits 340 million Americans* FTFY
A rising tide lifts all ships.
Correct. Before people say “it should be $25/hr,” federal minimum wage is only matched by the poorest of states. State minimum wage increases would be warranted and implemented in states with a higher cost of living following the federal wage hike.
“But muh McDonald’s prices!”
They’re already $10 a meal my dude, and Amazon is Amazon no matter where you live
10$? Where I live a fucking Quarter Pounder meal is near 17$. Shits insane.
I moved from upstate NY to eastern PA in 2020. The average fast food worker was making 50% more in upstate NY. Most prices were the same, if not within 10 cents at worst.
Ohhhh good job Bernie! I’m sure Johnson will get RIGHT on it! The House you lost will surely vote for that. And the Senate you lost will surely confirm it. And president Musk will absolutely sign it!
He was trying this under the useless democrats as well.
Would be great if it works.
Unfortunately wont happen
I can hear Trump laughing and snickering with his cronies
Some of them are even republicans.
