      Really? Are democrats opposed to changing that, or just not prioritizing it because it can get complicated and there are a million other concerns?

        It’s the first part. The vast majority of Democrats are “moderate” and “corporate captured.”

        It’s not a “both sides are equally bad in all respects.” It’s “both sides will not give us a change of law to enable a living wage be the standard.” It’s only speaking to that one aspect.

        It might also be a complicated topic, but you don’t solve a complicated topic by never starting on it.

        Are those “concerns” bigger than the concern of Trump winning the general election? Make a choice. Raising the federal minimum wage in order to avoid losing to Trump sounds like a bargain to me.
