Minimum wage set to rise in 23 states next year as $15 an hour, and beyond, picks up steam

5. at least we made some gains at the state level. i was pissed dems didnt stress downticket races.

that and talking about democracy w no mention of governance wd b my main beefs. when harris talked about wages, what she shd have said is- that’s a state issue. that’s y u vote the whole ballot.
instead of focusing on tsf, she shd have hammered govs like abbott, and state leges like tenn.

esp w the way the ec distorts our politics, the top of the ticket needs to reach down everywhere. how many of the ‘other 43 states’ even got a visit from harris OR walz? that’s how red states stay red.

we need to treat the candidates who run hopeless downticket races like the kings and queens they r. that’s what builds the party. that’s what gets the vote out. i was hopeful that the dnc streamed a lot of money to state and local parties. but they didnt bring the star power that this age apparently requires.
