    No, the Democrats didn’t do enough

    LOL

    That’s almost as bad as… “Dems aren’t perfect, but.”

    Christ, I wish the Democratic Party had a shred of empathy left for workers. The minimum wage has been $7.25 for almost 20 years now, across two Democratic presidents who had control of Congress, and both made $100 billion-plus dollars appear out of thin air for war profiteers. The system gives these men all the power they need to make meaningful change, they just don’t give a fuck about anyone who can’t afford the $500,000 minimum it costs to buy a five-minute meeting at the Democratic National Convention.

    Republicans stab us in the front. Democrats stab us in the back.
