    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.

      Oh I’m sure my mixed race marriage would be totally in jeopardy under Harris. I bet NOAA would get defunded by Harris. I’m pretty sure my immigrant in-laws would get deported under Harris. Oh and I’m for SURE my LGBT friends will be put in harms way by Harris. Climate, womens health, child rearing, education etc etc etc

        When you elect an opposition party that doesn’t actually oppose anything, every issue that concerns you is in jeopardy, yes. Further, I wouldn’t trust someone who built their career on locking up nonviolent drug users en masse to care much what happens to you or your family.

        They certainly don’t care about mine. My eighty-year old parents are driving for DoorDash, in a car I lent them, and that’s the only thing separating them from homelessness and starvation.

          And Trump will increase their taxes, reduce Medicare, reduce social security blah blah blah. He has stated as much. Those I’m pretty sure will impact your parents.
