When was the last time the minimum wage went up in this country?
Almost two decades ago, and 2/3 of the US states use that as the standard.
So yes, if you're poor or working class in this country, it doesn't matter much who we elect.
You're ignoring how much worse it can get, especially for people of color, people who are lgbtq, and yes, people who are making minimum wage and/or getting assistance today.
It does matter.
I don't think that's accurate.
I'm not the one gaslighting myself about Democratic governance or pretending that they actually did the things that they promised, and neither are the people who need better pay instead of memes.
Did I reference a meme? Or am I specifically referencing the hate being thrown at trans folks, women dying because of idiotic laws, attempts to remove medical coverage for those who could barely get something as is?
I think its entirely accurate, and I absolutely will stand by that. Don't try to blow smoke up my ass about both sides being the same, its absolute bullshit and I'm not interested.
