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?
It would be the squad voting against stripping the $15 min wage.
No, the bill as-is includes Covid relief but not the $15 minimum wage. There was an up/down vote on that. The squad would have had to vote against the Covid relief bill and then make the case that this was justified because it lacked the minimum wage increase.
There is not a bill with Covid relief and the minimum wage increase that other Democrats would have to vote against.
You are basing this argument by the rules set by corporate media.
Corporate media does in fact play an enormous role in the overall media landscape. Ignoring their role is foolish.

We're just arguing semantics on the first point.
Sure, they play a role, but they aren't all powerful. Look at the success Trump and Sanders - both hates by corporate media.
