      Did I say the House is a leftist organization? Are we talking about all representatives here, or even all the Democrats in the House?

          "They could theoretically be doing better" is a weak criticism to start, and far too many leftists run with that all the way to "they're bad, actually."

          How the hell are we supposed to accomplish anything with that type of thinking?

              the thing you want her to do is technically possible

              It's not, though. AOC and company can't push a button and raise the minimum wage. The best they can do is push a button that gives them some small chance to raise the minimum wage in exchange for delayed stimulus checks and unemployment funding.

              This is far from an obvious decision because it's so unlikely to work.
