Democratic senator Kyrsten Sinema says she will vote against $15 minimum wage as part of $1.9 trillion COVID relief bill effectively leaving it dead in the water

2021-02-13

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]

Democratic Senator Kyrsten Sinema

...senior senator from Arizona since 2019 and the Senate’s first open bisexual. Though originally a member of the Green Party and a social worker, she is now considered a moderate centrist — for a Democrat, anyway...
announced she will vote against a $15 minimum wage if it's included in the COVID relief plan

Her decision effectively kills Democrats hopes of passing the controversial measure with a simple majority vote
...as it stands, at any rate. No doubt she will recomsider if they take out that provision...
'What's important is whether or not it's directly related to short-term Covid relief. And if it's not, then I am not going to support it in this legislation,' she said

'The minimum wage provision is not appropriate for the reconciliation process. It is not a budget item. And it shouldn't be in there,' Sinema told Politico

Democrats hoped to pass the measure as part of President Joe Biden's $1.9 trillion COVID relief plan

That would allow them to get it through the Senate via reconciliation - a process that lets them avoid a GOP filibuster

Republicans oppose wage hike, claiming it hurts small businesses

#3 Leaving everyone but the rich, undead in the water.

I was hoping that democrats and bideneers who were fist pumping Gamestop would see this, that everything being hoisted benefits the Levers of Power, the Rich, and the Mercenaries necessary to pummel heads for the 10 years necessary to snuff all opposition.

"Ah, but I've been a loyal Democrat my whole life; I still have my Hillary 2016 poster!"

Guess what Bucky. Teams were selected two years ago and if you aren't on it, you didn't make the cut.

If you think you are, you are not. The first chance the politicians will take out the leadership and replace it with their own, so you all don't go after them. At the same time, you grunt will be sent into a grinder. It is how its always worked, and they'll do it here do big time, because it has always worked. Good luck assholes.
