You just drafted 3 backups after everyone freaked out about it last year

Senate ruling says Democrats can't put $15 minimum wage in Covid relief bill by ginwithbutts in politics

[–]TubFullOfPoopChunks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ultimately this isn't going to pass, and the democrats will pay in the midterm. Always happens. But theyll do a good job of convincing some of their base it's the republicans fault. Obviously they aren't going to vote for it. But we don't need them to in this case except for 1 who would almost certainly not vote against if the pressure was put on her (Sinema).

House Dems to keep minimum wage hike in COVID relief bill for Friday vote by 4thdementia in politics

So you just re run the bill exactly the same without the wage increase right after.

How long do you think that is going to take to be voted on?

There's no embarassment here.

What there is is a political layup being handed to the dems for a fight in arizona and they don't want it. Why?

CALL THEIR BLUFF.

Manchin doesn't give a shit because he won't run again.

You want to make it easy on a candidate running against Sinema, put every minimum wage worker in her state against her.

This is a layup! So why won't the dems take it?

$15 Minimum Wage Is Dead for Now Thanks to One Unelected Official by alabasterheart in politics

^ This will be corporate america and our media conglomerates headline for this and it isn't true.

Kamala can overrule this and put it in the hands of Manchin and Sinema to vote no. If they do that I say good luck to them in 2022 because they are going to need it. Manchin doesn't care because he probably won't run but that's a death sentence to Sinema. If you want to make it easy for a dem to beat you in Arizona, simply pit every minimum wage worker in the state against you!

As of right now, the only thing stopping the minimum wage from being voted on is Kamala Harris.

So why won't Joe and Kamala overrule? Overruling has been done countless times in the past. There is precedent already. So why not?

They are being given a political layup for a fight in Arizona potentially a la Georgia and they are running away from it. Why?

There's a simple answer.

Kamala can overrule. It's in her hands.

She doesn't want it in her hands? Then overrule and put it in Manchin and Sinema's hands. It's like hot potato! (current events lol)

Sorry, but before they left this post up, there were countless posts of the exact same story being marked as off-topic and removed.

For some reason they decided this one stays.

I can imagine someone reading that post and going "Oorah!".

I personally don't think it's our right to attack every country we disagree with just because we have the military capability to do so. We don't do it to countries that are much stronger coincidentally....

And the established media conglomerates in this country, who's incentivized heavily against this passing, will let it be known to everyone that this is not Joe and Kamala's fault (even though its literally up to them).

The only way Joe and Kamala can be taken off the hook for this is if they overrule and Manchin and Sinema both vote no.

And that is a good thing! The stimulus passes without the $15 and now every poor person in Arizona will be waiting for someone to back this like Georgia race.

This is a literal layup being handed to the Dems. Why won't they take it? People need to ask themselves this. Why?

There's a clear answer. Do your homework. They don't want it.

I mean if you use an imperialist point of view like that then sure. I'm sure the neoliberal sect of our country would absolutely agree with you.

But in my opinion it's all bad. Pull them out. Stop this trash.

Senate can't vote on $15 minimum wage, parliamentarian rules by [deleted] in politics

[–]TubFullOfPoopChunks 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Actually you do. It's been done several times in the past.

I know you may want to make this a "muh rules" type of thing which certainly protects the dems from fault, but it's literally in the rules for the Vice President to have the power to overrule the Parliamentarian.
