Psycho-Moderate Dem Radical Centrists Are Zealously Committed to Fucking Shit Up
See if you can spot the media bias in this from politico.
Moderate Senate Democrats are pushing their leaders for a more modest approach to the party’s signature minimum wage hike, arguing for a compromise that can attract broader support after the defeat of a $15 hourly wage proposal.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer convened a meeting on the topic Tuesday afternoon that includes the eight Democratic caucus members who opposed Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-Vt.) $15 hourly wage plan earlier this month. Several of those members opposed that proposal because it eliminates the tipped wage, a lower minimum wage for restaurant workers and other employees who receive gratuities.
It’s the first time Schumer held an in-person meeting with a disparate group of senators on an issue that electrifies his party’s base but divides his caucus. Sanders requested the meeting, a Democratic aide said.
