Gee. If only someone had the opportunity to raise the minimum wage during the past 4 years.

By everywhere I mean other countries.

The global economy is working just fine for everyone the two major parties actually give a shit about.

Get out of here with that "both parties are the same" shit. It only helps Trump.

HE'S NEVER RUNNING AGAIN. You just don't want criticism of how Democrats represent the same interests as Republicans.

I wish I had the faith in Trump following the Constitution that you do. Democrats and Republicans are not the same. If you disagree, try talking to a woman who needs an abortion, a black man in jail for weed possession, or any LGBT person.

In order: Democrats thought the filibuster was more important than codifying Roe, Biden ran out the clock on purpose on rescheduling cannabis, and centrists in this last election cycle used right wing "boys in girls' sports" hatred in their own ads.

Both sides aren't the same, but they're converging, and I refuse to make or accept excuses for it.

They would be converging if the Republicans weren't moving even further right. They are literally rolling back civil rights legislation, weakening child labor laws, requiring public schools to teach the Bible, and want to deport citizens. Plus all the Project 2035 stuff.

That's just an excuse for chasing after them.

They are literally rolling back civil rights legislation, weakening child labor laws, requiring public schools to teach the Bible, and want to deport citizens.

And Democrats look at that and see an opportunity to move right.
