    Really? Are democrats opposed to changing that, or just not prioritizing it because it can get complicated and there are a million other concerns?

      It’s the first part. The vast majority of Democrats are “moderate” and “corporate captured.”

      It’s not a “both sides are equally bad in all respects.” It’s “both sides will not give us a change of law to enable a living wage be the standard.” It’s only speaking to that one aspect.

      It might also be a complicated topic, but you don’t solve a complicated topic by never starting on it.

      Are those “concerns” bigger than the concern of Trump winning the general election? Make a choice. Raising the federal minimum wage in order to avoid losing to Trump sounds like a bargain to me.
