Fair point. I meant raising the minimum wage enough to be an actual living wage. The democrats do their part to make sure minimum wage is still a poverty wage.

Fair point. I meant raising the minimum wage enough to be an actual living wage. The democrats do their part to make sure minimum wage is still a poverty wage. The larger point I was trying to make is that they push symbolic or insignificant policy changes that don't actually do anything to improve the lives of most. There's a reason the working class keeps shifting away from democrats and to republicans. Someone living paycheck to paycheck doesn't have time to worry about "decolonizing" our education system. Democrat politicians like are their own greatest enemy. They can keep winning in democratic strongholds, but they've let republicans take over state and local politics in most states.
