There is more to life you know? When will liberals learn.
Edit: I changed the title so that people will understand what I am getting at. It is important to realise that economic anxiety trumps other concerns, especially in the growing wealth inequality and the overt shows of oligarchic rule. As Franklin Roosevelt said: People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.
That is what I am insinuating. But last time I promoted those, there have been pushback from neoliberals and trolls in the midst. Thought I was pushing an "agenda".
Raising the minimum wage has been talked about for decades now? And yet the Democrats never really seriously wanted to implement it? The talk on economic progressivism is all performative; considering that time when Bernie Sanders criticised Trump at a Democratic convention, he was cheered on, but when he started talking about minimum wage and Medicare for all, he was booed. A staffer of Kamala cautioned then presidential candidate not to openly criticise the oligarchs and wealth inequality before going on stage (before the debate with Trump?), but stating in hindsight she probably should have done so. All of these really points to the Democratic Party not serious enough to dealing with more pertinent issues that affect ordinary people of all background.
