Can’t we acknowledge that it looks as if Biden will sign the biggest fucking relief bill ever? I also think the minimum wage should be higher. But that is not the only thing that matters. The bill passed might cut child poverty in half! It’s a big fucking deal.

How does the size of the bill negate Jeet's point about dishonestly?

There is a huge, massive, gargantuan gap between “if the Dems don’t do anything” and the COVID Relief bill. Action today, less than we want but action, vs gambling, what?, the GOP would cave if Dems stuck w/$15? Fat f’n chance. I’m tired of the perfect being the enemy of the good

The GOP didn't vote for the COVID relief bill as it was. Quit reflexively using them as the bogeyman - 8 Democrats killed the minimum wage increase. Now we're going to start hearing about how impossible $15 was and that it was never a promise - be happy with $10.50, peons.

The goal was to pass the Covid relief package first and as soon as possible. Not including the min wage amendment in this bill does not mean it won’t happen. Sadly it would have sunk the whole bill at this time.

Instead of feeling betrayed it would be better to write a stand alone bill or push it though on another budget item OR get to work expanding our majority in the Senate so everything doesn’t have to go through Manchin and Sinema.
