  • Minimum wage: Dems ran on $15 since 2015. Reality? In 2021, 8 Senate Dems killed it. “$11 is more reasonable”, Result: 20 states still at $7.25.

    Corporate taxes: Biden’s 2022 “win” (15% min tax) affects 150 companies. Meanwhile, Amazon paid 0% in 2021. Dems folded on closing offshore loopholes.

    Military spending: Obama’s “cuts” were a theater. He ended ground wars but quadrupled drone strikes (civilian deaths went up 400%). Biden signs $886B budget, higher than Trump did.

    Healthcare: 2009: Dems had 60 votes. They gutted the public option to please Big Pharma donors.

    Dems had 4 months at 60 seats in 2009 and 18 days at 50+VP in 2021. Both times, they negotiated against themselves.

    Harm reduction in a burning building is not a permanent solution.
