HOLD UP! Would you take it a step further and say the party that just collectively shrugged and said “well that’s that” when an unelected “parliamentarian” shows up out of nowhere to say $15/hr cannot be considered in a Senate bill might be considered feckless and ineffectual?

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said he is disappointed in the decision and pledged to pursue other legislation to increase the minimum wage.

“We are not going to give up the fight to raise the minimum wage to $15 to help millions of struggling American workers and their families,” Schumer said in a statement. “The American people deserve it, and we are committed to making it a reality.”

narrator voice: they gave up the fight immediately, because they never wanted to fight it in the first place.

Exactly. Why would anyone expect them to do something in the next four years? They’ve already had two and did nothing. Every other promise they made before the 2020 election they folded on, and they were making new promises for the next term, acting like they weren’t already in power.
