    Every time I hear stories like this it reminds me of the efforts Dubya and Cheney have made to rewrite history because they’re associated with some of the worst people and decisions in American history. I don’t believe for a moment that he wasn’t just another yes man indulging Trump’s nonsense.

      I definitely think some of this is the case here with these stories. But the main takeaway should be how important it is to keep Trump the hell out of office again.

        I don’t think it matters much who we elect, at least if you’re a member of the poor and working class. It will be interesting to see the stats on how many people don’t bother voting this year.

            When was the last time the minimum wage went up in this country?

            Almost two decades ago, and 2/3 of the US states use that as the standard.

            So yes, if you’re poor or working class in this country, it doesn’t matter much who we elect.

              You’re ignoring how much worse it can get, especially for people of color, people who are lgbtq, and yes, people who are making minimum wage and/or getting assistance today.

              It does matter.

                I don’t think that’s accurate.

                I’m not the one gaslighting myself about Democratic governance or pretending that they actually did the things that they promised, and neither are the people who need better pay instead of memes.
