      has the minimum wage gone up?

      did workers get more rights?

      when did we get that universal healthcare?

      neither the Democrats nor the Republicans support workers

        The min wage last went up under Dems. Yes, worker rights have expanded under Dems. Yes, Dems kneecapped themselves by taking a public option out of the ACA but at least they got super close, unlike the GOP, whose best claim to policy change on healthcare was that dramatic moment when McCain stopped them from repealing the ACA.
