2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI support Hillary and I support $15 per hour. She still will make a great President.
If a bill landed on her desk raising the federal minimum wage to $15 I am sure she would sign it. But it isn't the President who makes the laws.
If she were President tens of millions could still rise up. Bernie could propose single payer and free tuition. Hillary would sign those bills if they passed both houses.
If you raise wages you raise spending which pays for the wages.

Assuming Hillary gets the nomination, the person doing the most work after will be Bernie, will his supporters?
Or will they be here pushing email stories?

Democracy.
Funded college education
Universal healthcare
Bernie helps others find the strength, fortitude and grace to say "yes we can".
Hillary helps those who lack courage to say, "I'm so sick of <insert the progressive issue of your choice>."

(3,089 posts)Bernie's idea alone. No one believes the minimum wage will jump immediately to $15/hr. It would devastate small business just coming out of a bad recession.
