I was getting into it with a liberal who used that same excuse. I brought up how every state that had legalization on the ballot, voted for it in a majority. This included some "red states" since they love to put things into logic of silly color coded maps.
Florida is a red state and they voted for $15 minimum wage.
That's 2 very popular ideas the Democratic party could adopt and try, and it would get people to vote for them. But no. They don't have the votes for that, and who's going to pay for it!? Lord forbid we tax the billionaires and Silicon Valley tech oligarchs that donate to the party.
