I understand why the 15 dollar minimum wage is a bad idea. I just don't understand if the democrats have enough support to pass it. Can someone explain to me how they could possibly pass it? and how can republicans stop it?

if they value reelection, they'll pass it. There are some voters on their side who realize it's a bad idea but most just want a bigger number in their paychecks and screw the reality of it

They've already talked about passing things through reconciliation which for some reason only takes simple majority. We're going to need a lot of filibusters these next years.

People like "free" shit without thought of the consequences. Democrats need to be re-elected. People will remember how they didn't vote to give them "free" shit. Democrats will vote for it because they don't want to get primaried for not voting for "free" shit.

Why wouldn't the small businesses raise their prices too?
