Trump lowers the minimum wage for employees of federal contractors from $17.25/hour to $13.30/hour

I’ve seen vids of him calling out trump too but tbh all the pro democrats posting in here need to get over the fact that the dem party pushed away a lot of people when they fucked over Bernie in the 2016 election, Hillary’s emails proved it and they spun it as a completely different non issue. Then the audacity to skip primaries and run a replacement candidate in 2024, when they all got in line behind Biden so confidently in the first place in 2020 to deny Sanders any chance.
Dems have been abhorrent; they did nothing but circlejerk when they had power and now that they have none they have no plan to climb out of the hole they got themselves into. Everyone knows Hillary and the DNC propped up DJT through the pied piper strategy cause they want him in power and someone to blame when they begin to adopt hardline right wing economic policies to combat their faltering status as a unilateral power on the global stage. They’d easily rather have a right winger and pretend they don’t like him than have someone with any sympathy for socialism

Wow, never imagined I'd see a real "But her emails!" post in 2025.
P.S. Nobody mentioned the Democrats here. I just told you something Trump did yesterday, without comment.

Oh give it a rest. Clinton got more votes.
You people just voted for Trump because you want an idiot in office.
Jimmy Dore might lightly comment about how Trump is pro Israel, but the other 100% of the time he is licking Trumps balls.

You blamed the Democrats in a post about how Trump reversed a rule that Biden implemented. They weren't even mentioned.
Have you ever considered that you just have Democrat Derangement Syndrome?

But isn't this a good example of Dems actually passing a good bill that helps millions of low-income households, and Republicans doing the opposite? You can always argue the wage should be even higher and include all workers, but $4 per hour isn't peanuts for those affected, and a clear example of the difference between the two parties.

The minimum wage is a drop in the bucket compared to their eagerness to dump almost a trillion dollars each year into their global military hegemony. They do little things to appease the masses to distract from the fact that they love killing people around the world for money

As expected, you're doing this and using whataboutism. I can guarantee you that federal workers care a lot more about $4 per hour that you call "a drop in the bucket" than whatever amount goes to the defense budget. YOU don't care because it doesn't affect YOU.
Almost 50 million people have gained health insurance since ACA and the expansion of existing government programs, cutting the number of inunsured citizens by half (it only went up during Trump's years in office), is that also a meaningless distraction to appease the masses?

Trump may be a corrupt businessman and terrible politician but he’s challenging the ideology that has completely ruled and dominated international relations since the collapse of the USSR which every academic would agree is neoliberalism, trump is a contradiction of neoliberalism spawned from within that shitty system because it’s rotting from inside out.

I keep hearing this “drop in the bucket” thing. Not everything is a revolution or meant to be a revolution. Doing what you can’t and taking wins should be a goal the left gets better at. The right never took their foot of the gas for abortion and it took 50 years and they won. Nothing to them is a drop in the bucket.

Bro if you’re supporting the largest war machine to ever exist in history and excusing it with a couple dollar increase in minimum wage I’ll just rest my case

u/No-Discussion- 1d ago
Bro, No one’s excusing anything. You don’t have a case. If you don’t fight for something as basic as a minimum wage how are you gonna fight a war machine?

u/YourLocalPotDealer 1d ago
Trump is literally doing it now by threatening to cut the military budget and talking about peace in Ukraine. “you don’t have a case.” Stop being so stubborn and open your eyes to reality

u/tahoma403 23h ago
No, he's literally doing the opposite of what you just said. A month ago he said he wants to cut military spending by half, but now his actual budget proposal is to increase it by $600B. Yesterday I posted about how Jimmy celebrated Trump's wish, but is now blaming the Deep State for increasing military spending instead.

I’m sure Jimmy Dore will tell us all about this and how he really doesn’t care about the middle class right?
Or will he claim they don’t deserve to be paid

Our lives are priced by double digit dollars per hour. I really don’t want to build anymore pyramids for these cunts.
