MHB is such a shitstain.
the video of Sinema giving the thumbs down on the min wage vote isn't great

Maybe. I feel like $15 minimum wage is a train that Democrats either need to get on or it’s going to run them over.
Oh they’ll fuck it up. The question is if people will show up to vote for them in 2022 knowing that it’s fuck up Dems vs fascists.
how likely is manchin to win re-election anyways?
West virginians have been consistently pulling the lever for manchin over his opponent for decades. The idea that he has 0 chance to win reelection is a curious one. I imagine once they start rating the race he will be the favorite.
West Virginia was a solid blue state just over a decade ago. Now it's solid red.
I imagine that's what's going to end up happening. The truth of the matter is that a move to $15 minimum wage would mostly have an impact on rural areas in this country that have lower cost of living and vote overwhelmingly republican anyway. With all major retailers moving to $15 an hour for people who stock their shelves It's gonna filter down to all the other retailers grocery stores fast food restaurants etc in any population center even if their minimum wage isnt close to $15 anyway.Priority seems to pass the vast majority of this legislation via this complex budget reconciliation process. 15 dollar MW Seen as an obstacle.
I suspect we’ll see the MW go up before too long but maybe not to 15...?
