Democrats: Vote for us! We believe in a $15 minimum wage.
Voters: Boy, that would sure be great! Kyrsten Sinema: Now, hold on a minute! It cant be done via reconciliation. I know this to be true in my bones even though the CBO ruled it had a budget impact, the parliamentarian hasnt ruled, and VP Harris could get it in anyway. I would definitely vote for it otherwise Joe Manchin: I dont know, if youre working two jobs and cant make ends meet, that seems like its your fault. *$15 minimum wage fails* Democrats: Vote for us, well totally get that $15 minimum wage next time! Voters: Can we at least get rid of the Dems who blocked it? Democrats: VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO. ... Copied to Clipboard!

If it's not obvious, I'm clearly just playing along now; our conversation isn't that serious.
I also agree with your implication that some progressives take the whole cancel culture thing too far and are overly sensitive. I mean I'm also on the left, but we're not all like that. I also think the extent to which this occurs is exaggerated; it's definitely not the majority of them, you're just honing in on a vocal minority. --- Because Jesus never beat a gangster over the head with a steel chair. - TastyTiana If he did, I probably would have read the bible by now. - E_S_M_Z ...

Pretty cut and dry here. you need 60 votes to pass legislation. if he comes up with a plan he promised to pass and tries to put it through, and 10 GOP don't sign on, it doesn't happen. that's not his fault, and he can do nothing about that. one could change senate rules, but biden can do nothing about that as well. pretty cut and dry. ...

He removed them from judges in revenge for democrats removing them for lower court judges. He even said so, specifically, when the Democrats first did it to push through Obama appointees: https://abcstlouis.com/news/nation-world/mcconnells-2013-warning-to-reid-about-senate-nuclear-rule-now-viral-video In the video, McConnell is warning Reid and Democrats about using the "nuclear option" that was preserved on video and is now returning to haunt Democrats who hope to block Trump's nominee to the Supreme Court. saying "oh but the conservatives would do this" is not justification for doing it yourself, nor is pointing to past examples of them doing something in retaliation proof that you might as well do it before they do. If Dems didn't remove the filibuster on lower courts during Obama's tenure, it's entirely possible Trump would not have gotten all of his supreme Court picks through. Short-term power grabs always come back to bite the party that does it in the ass because you'd have to be a complete idiot to believe that the opposing party would never hold the majority again --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

Imagine thinking a flat 15 minimum wage increase would be a good thing. It should be rolled out based on the area alone. A 15 dollar minimum wage in bum fuck Kentucky for example, would be quite a bit of money to most people
15 dollar minimum wage in New York wouldnt be shit Locally increase minimum wages based on local economies also, TC, he literally campaigned on a 10k student loan debt forgiveness.
