Working people want to see the Squad stand up to the establishment. Progressive leaders and leaders of major labor unions need to harness that desire and publicly urge that the Squad use their numerical balance & refuse to vote on the MUST PASS stimulus bill unless $15 is in it.— Kshama Sawant (@cmkshama) March 6, 2021
everyone needs some extra cash for sure. gotta kinda weigh it against the fact that if the squad actually used their fucking power, sure it may only last until the next election and then we're likely to lose a couple of them, but they'd have way more of an effect on actual policy.
they kinda already dropped the ball with the pelosi thing though, so none of this is expected to happen, i'm sure we'll get our means tested $1400 within the next two months, unless the vaccine works so well that they decide 'actually you don't need them.'

Pardon my ignorance, but how could the squad really change the game here? It's though to imagine enough of those dems that voted no to change
yeah they already kinda dropped the ball.
DORE WAS RIGHT lol
