There are things that can be discussed on this, but not having it in the platform really didn't make sense

(4,451 posts)Bernie supporters keep saying it's not there and edited the video of the wording. WHY?

(46,585 posts)The platform committee voted $15 min wage down 8 to 5; there's a video of it FFS. But they yielded and put it in as in it wasn't in there already contrary to that tweet. Best gird your loins because Bernie is fighting for plenty more.

(46,585 posts)The DNC nixed Bernie's Labor advovate appointment to the platform committee. They voted down $15 min wage. It was not in the platform until they yielded to Bernie's team and adopted it. Stop trying to muddy the waters to cover up what happened.
