Sorry... a $15 minimum wage is too high

159. I'm a Bernie person... but I don't have to accept every one of his ideas

And he doesn't accept all of mine. I'm for finally making the US into a true democratic system... and I know Bernie won't touch the topic.

Parties, or perhaps wings of parties, develop narratives to in response to the groups that make up the coalition. Narratives change all the time. Once liberal Dems were against the Bush tax cuts because they increased debt and that threatened Social Security if that debt made SS payback more difficult. But then most liberal Dems embraced Obama's position when he wanted to keep most of those irresponsible tax cuts... even if we then were trillions more in debt. People like Thom Hartman were once for drying up jobs so illegal immigrants would pack up and go home. He said they drove down wages for US workers, then did a 180 when Obama pushed for comprehensive immigration reform. US labor tended to also be against immigration reform... and they did a 180.

Narratives come and go.
