Working people want to see the Squad stand up to the establishment. Progressive leaders and leaders of major labor unions need to harness that desire and publicly urge that the Squad use their numerical balance & refuse to vote on the MUST PASS stimulus bill unless $15 is in it.— Kshama Sawant (@cmkshama) March 6, 2021
Or has the moment passed and the House already voted on the bill?
That was the Senate, this would concern getting only 10 progressive Democrats in the House to refrain from voting for it until they put the $15 minimum wage back.
And if they did, the Democrats would be forced to change it to either appeal to win Republican votes (which it wouldn't in any scenario) or put the $15 minimum wage back in, which is completely within Biden and Harris' powers.

Ah, right. Technically they could reject the senate bill, but they won't.

There's your problem. These ghouls would much rather defend bullshit arcane Senate rules than lift a finger to push for anything good.
