I understand that.
Those 2 senators need to do the will of their constituents. They still should let them vote so that we have a record.
Somehow I find it hard to believe that majority of their constituents are so appalled by the min wage increase only and perfectly fine with a big stimulus package.
Those voters who support the big stimulus checks most likely won't hate wage increases. Think about it. Are there more business owners or workers? Who has more votes?
Dems representing laborers have this inherent advantage! We have way more votes because we have way more workers!
However, at the moment, dems are hijacked by the rich lobbyists hence they are now 'corporate moderates'.
It really makes no sense to be a corporate moderate. Corporations would rather have GOP in charge.
GOP usually wins because they have more money because being corporate friendly will definitely help you raise more money. Doesn't matter which dumbfuck they nominate.
Dems, in theory, should win big because we have more workers(votes).
Corporate moderates can only win when GOP fucked it up bad.
My argument is that we don't need these moderates. They are useless.
Voting back and forth between GOP and these Corp Mods will only cause America to suck again and again...
Oh I also personally believe some of these politicians purposely position themselves that way to highlight their importance rather than truly representing the will of their constituents.
Do you truly believe voters won’t vote those 2 out of the office because of a huge stimulus package but would think that they crossed the line with $15 an hour wage?
Only folks who’d be pissed off would be the corporations that funded their campaign.
Even republican workers. You believe they’d be pissed to earn living wages?
