Democratic Governance

The Democrats do not care if you and your children starve.

The push for a “$15 minimum wage” was first made law in Seattle, and the law included annual increases to keep up with inflation.

The current minimum wage in Seattle in 2024 is $19.97 / hour.

Any minimum wage law that doesn’t address inflation is not taking itself seriously.

Well it is 2025.

Pretty sure liberals are past 15 an hour and have been for awhile. Centrist Dems are still on board for 15, at least in the party platform. And regardless it's a damn sight better than those calling for the elimination of the minimum wage altogether.

Meanwhile Congress has never missed a pay raise and that receives minimal attention.

They're referring to liberalism, not social democracy or progressive or whatever weird definition American media started using in the last 25 years or so.
Here's a book on what it's meant for the last 300 years, and what it still means in the rest of the world.
If 344 pages is too long for you, here's a song from the 60s about liberals that's no less true today.
- Oh.
  And here's how the rest of the world uses the word "Liberal": https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=liberal+
  Here is the Wikipedia article on liberalism: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberalism
  Here is the dictionary definition of the word: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/liberal
  But, hey, your racist asshole made a shitty song about how much he liked Malcom X being shot so liberal is bad and something vote trump, right??

... As opposed to the superior Republican plan for increasing minimum wage?

What if I told you the viable alternative wasn't to look further right, but further left?
- Well, I don't know about you, but I can't teleport. the last time I checked, neither can the u.s. political zeitgeist. If we want more left, we are going to have to get there the long way.

Tankies here saw a community called "US Authoritarianism " and thought "finally, people who love the taste of boot as much as I do!"

How could the checks notes DEMOCRATS do this to us?! Pretending that the Dems are responsible for things this meme admits they're actively fighting against is so braindead that it's no wonder everyone thinks all these leftists are just Russian bots or right wing trolls. The premise here is just so moronic and short sighted that it's depressing to think that a real human could actually post this and genuinely think they're being honest.

Oh it gets worse. The Democrat's "failure" to do X, Y, or Z (in the face of fierce Republican opposition but never mind that) becomes a reason to either not vote or... gasp... vote Republican.
