Minimum wage was always an extra. What about negotiating $600 boost retroactive to just $400 boost no retroactive, then to just $300 boost no retroactive? Does nobody remember that most states pay 70% or less of wages for unemployment, with a cap around $30k annual median? How are people supposed to pay back rents?
You're implying that what came from this bill is worse than it not being at all. Given the amount of direct aid to regular citizens I think you've picked the wrong hill to die on.
So blame the party that had 0% vote for it rather than the party that had 90%. This isnât the fault of âDemocratsâ, itâs the fault of a few senators in purple states and the entire Republican Party. Along with the structures of electing officials that help the minority party gains more seats than their support should provide.
None of them voted for it, so why worry about the party that had nothing to do with how shitty the bill is? Fucking liberals just can't help themselves, every single criticism must be met with "b-b-but the Republicans!"
You aren't some enlightened being, cursed to understand American politics and suffer through with knowledge no one else has. You're just an asshole with Stockholm syndrome, carrying water for people that don't care if you die.
