The minimum wage hike and mandatory sick leave passed by 8 points in 2024.

Not only can Dems do it, if they had done it in 2016 there never would've been a first Trump term. Democrats are still stuck in the politics of 2004 and are afraid of being called "socialist". Meanwhile Trump and Vance talk about "over-throwing the woke oligarchy" or whatever.
