There’s plenty to criticize him for but I don’t think him not going far enough for a bill that already has 0% to pass seems misguided.
I think you’re right in that sense, but I think it is necessary to point it out to put it in context, that US politicians won’t even performatively act as if they would raise the minimum wage to a living wage.
You can say “Here’s the bill I submitted to raise the minimum wage, here’s the roll where it says every single republican and most democrats voted against it.”
And the chuds would just laugh and say you have tds and the libs would explain why that was actually the smart pragmatic move.
