Hence why the minimum wage has been stuck at $7 in the US for fifteen years, no matter who we elect.
There are 30 states + DC that have minimum wage higher than the $7.25/hour of the Federal Minimum wage. Cities can also have a higher minimum wage than the state, so that would be possibly hundreds of cites/towns with higher than Federal Minimum wage. So I guess it does matter who you elect. Pay attention to the down ballot. Its not all Washington DC’s job. Fix your locality. Fix your State.

So, by your logic, there are 20 states where people can legally paid less than the cost of a cup of coffee for an hour of labor. That’s a dereliction of duty no matter how you try to rationalize it.
Or maybe, in the next election, start off all of your Pro-Democrat posts with an honest disclaimer: “Vote Democrat - They’re Not Going To Do Anything.”

You’re not being rational if you’re having an expectation that one party at the national level , represented by each state individually, can unilaterally enforce its will on the nation. That’s what YOUR logic is suggesting. Our system of government just doesn’t work that way.
Or maybe, in the next election, start off all of your Pro-Democrat posts with an honest disclaimer: “Vote Democrat - They’re Not Going To Do Anything.”
If you’re talking on minimum wage then you also need to include in that quote: “…except in all the cities and states that vote Democrat and have higher minimum wage. Or you can vote Republican that votes down any minimum wage increase.”
