US pol, vent 

So last night a Republican proposed a bill amendment about "not hiking the minimum wage to $15 during a pandemic". It passed 100-0.

to a predictable reaction about the Dems "abandoning" people.

Except the amendment doesn't do shit. Sanders minimum wage plan doesn't raise to 15 til 2024 after which the pandemic will be over.

please, please restrain the knee jerk urges and THINK about things before you react. Especially when dealing with literally conservative propaganda ops!
