22. FL passed $15/hr minimum wage AND voted for DT -- that tells you something

With 98 percent of precincts reporting, more than 61 percent of voters approved the legislation — which increases minimum wage from $8.56 to $10 per hour starting Sept. 30, 2021, then raises it $1 each year until 2026.

There is something wrong with our message if the state approves a higher minimum wage AND votes for the rapist in chief.

It is not the voting machinery!
