Biden had a majority for two years and did jack shit on pay.
Can't really blame them for being angry.
You can’t pass a minimum wage increase with a 50-50 senate. It’s literally not possible.
You can’t do it without 60 votes in the senate. There’s nothing to try. Hence why the last time was ‘09 when democrats had a super majority in the senate. 0 republicans will vote for it, right now he’d need 9.
Democrats have seen far more success raising the minimum wage at state and municipal levels. I would rather federal as well, but ultimately as long as people are getting a higher minimum wage, it’s the same effect.
Do you guys not get any civil education on how bills get passed? Why are you commenting on political threads without a foundational understanding of how legislation works?
I'm writing my reps with a proposal for a new law:
One day out of every year all streaming, OTA TV, and cable companies run a 12 hour Schoolhouse Rock marathon from 8am to 8pm.

Thats not how laws work. Here's a video explaining how bills become laws in the US. Educate yourself friend.
A 50-50 split Senate is not a majority, jackass.
I guess that should have been the only focus. All I remember is that before he took office we couldn't leave our houses and people were dying from COVID like crazy. It's not Biden's fault that wages haven't increased with inflation since before I was born. Sure he could probably do more but I don't see anyone else jumping up to help in any meaningful way either. No one will even primary him and his major opponent is just litigating things from 3 years ago to save his ego and or freedom. I don't see anyone else stepping up from a position of power.
