You seem to not understand how a narrow majority works. There are still debates in the Senate because a majority vote in the Senate is sixty votes and so requires a modicum of bipartisanship. Mcconnell and the GOP walled up when they realized the minimum wage boost was part of the bill. The process currently being used in forcing the stimulus relief through for Biden is the same used to end the government shutdown a couple years ago, only requiring fifty votes and is being used because GOP members suddenly remember that they're penny-pinchers.Who!? The Democratic Party? This was budget shit, they could have passed it on a straight majority. Biden lowballed to $1400 and the Democrats negotiated down with themselves. How are those dastardly Republicans sabotaging poor old Biden when the senile grampa could have rammed anything he wanted through if he had a spine that wasn’t cripplingly osteoporotic. It doesn’t matter what the Turtle wants, but Joe Biden would rather piss all over his campaign promises than piss off his donors. .
Sanders can fight for shit all he wants, that doesn't mean Chuck Schumer can't see that GOP senators won't vote in favor of whatever it is, leaving it dead in the water, and will throw it out. As long as those on the right keep conflating small businesses with the minimum wage, it's not going to rise.Sanders did more to fight for Biden’s promise of a $15 minimum wage than even our Beloved Biden
The only thing you're obliged to do is to quit thinking campaign promises are guaranteed to become real.But I’m obliged to suck off Biden for his empty promises and lip service?
Speaking of campaign promises, who was supposed to pay for the gay-ass wall again? It sure as fuck wasn't supposed to be U.S. citizens, but Trump still fought and put the government in a deadlock for a month to use my tax dollars when he promised otherwise.Trump bothered fighting for his gay-ass wall, the closest Biden came to digging his heels in wasn’t over his campaign promises, it was over Neera fucking Tanden. And he still lost.
Let me know when Biden shuts down the government for a month in attempt to force the wrong people to pay for one of his campaign promises.It's only been two months, but even I’m shocked at the speed at which he’s backing off on everything he promised
