'18 Midterms: Dems win House by largest midterm raw vote margin ever

[Secure Da Bag]

From Wikipedia -

In real terms, the federal minimum wage peaked at $11.54 per hour in 1968, using 2017 inflation-adjusted dollars.[5][6][7] If the minimum wage in 1968 had kept up with labor's productivity growth, it would have reached $19.33 in 2017.[8] There is a racial difference for support of a higher minimum wage with most black and Hispanic individuals supporting a $15.00 federal minimum wage, and 54% of whites opposing it.[9] In 2015, about three percent of white, Asian, and Hispanic or Latino workers earned the federal minimum wage or less. Among black workers, the percentage was about four percent.[10]

So according to this other chart, we're both close to being right.

Similar but defining productivity.

Given the Economy’s Growth, the Federal Minimum Wage Could Be Significantly Higher

Trump didn't win AZ by much and Arpaio lost his election in a Trump majority district so I think he should be good. McSally would make it a race though

So it's OK to want the U.S. to make stoning gay people legal, make Protestant Christianity the OFFICIAL religion, ban ALL forms of Abortion, cut taxes on the rich, defund public education, defund social security, ban all Muslims, etc?

Oh but some person is "queer" and married to the son of an undocumented immigrant and that's the reason why Dems "lost Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan"?

Only 51 percent though

I know there are a few folks who are annoyed or upset some people on the progressive left shyt on the left for being too centerist or not liberal enough.

I just wanted to express a random thought that if the criticism is just hating I can understand. At the same time it would be great in general if there is a blue wave but at the same time I think we do need to scrutinize these people once they win a seat or before to make sure they are still working in our interests outside of just having a D next to their name too. Need more feet to the fire accountability. Because take Ralph Northam. I mean it’s great when you get a win but I was more upset that he then wouldn’t commit to expanding Medicaid in the state once he won and seems to be more concerned with pandering to the republicans in state government. If our candidates are like this then I honestly don’t care if they win or lose. I’m not a purist but when you don’t do what you campaign on it’s infuriating. Especially this because we know that based on Public opinion polling there is even bipartisan support for more government to take a stronger role in healthcare.

We need more scrutiny on the democratic side.

Clinton was trying to guilt them into voting her. (IE. a woman who doesn't vote for a woman is going to a special type of hell; i believe something like that was said) And a lot of college kids (men and women) were Bernie Bros.
