(7,271 posts)Any Elected official holding any office should have at the minimum an awareness, be conscience of people who are their voters are impacted economically or otherwise by any vote on any piece of legislation. She should be cognizant of the impact on every voter in her state and the vote she takes will either hurt or help her constituents.
And by constituents I'm referring to families struggling to stave off hunger and homelessness.
As a Democrat, I'm shocked that she doesn't get that if you're going to place a vote which is sure to hurt these voters, you do it with as little fan fare as possible. Not rub salt into the wound caused through no fault of their own.
I understand there are small businesses who are worried and complaining about the min wage who she may consider as her only voters, but it's the responsibility of the Office holder to explain to their constituents how they will be helped, or that the economic impact will not be what they fear.
But based on her "sexism" claims and defense, it's clear she's lacking in many basic common sense departments, to put it mildly.
