You guys really need to have some effective government that will enact normal minimal wage and anti monopoly laws. But I wonder if the most people are poor then why they don’t vote for a party that represents them and wants to raise or set minimum wage (whichever applies)?
The logic says that everyone should vote for someone that will better their conditions and yet it looks like there’s some weird shit going on where only well off, rich people vote left (whatever left means in the specific county). It’s completely backwards
I vote left too and classic example of this and honestly I think I won’t next time cause it is not in my interest. Though centrist party here would probably be something like warren in USA
Actually I remember now why I find these comments jarring is because I don’t live in the USA so I don’t have this inherent hate for capitalism but it is understandable in that context or anywhere where people are stuck in quasi democratic situation of permanent superliberal gov thanks to two party system

People won’t vote for them because they “can’t win”, and they can’t win because people won’t vote for them. It’s a self-perpetuating cycle.
Consider 3 candidates running for president right now: Jill Stein, Kamala Harris, and Donald Trump. Jill Stein has a platform of raising the minimum wage, healthcare guaranteed as a human right, and a bunch of other awesome stuff. Harris has almost no platform at all, but she has vibes. And Trump wants to have a Christian dictatorship and deport millions of people.
Stein is the only one of these 3 candidates who wants to raise the minimum wage, but she’s only polling at 1%, and people don’t want to vote for her because they’re afraid that Trump will win.
Show me where Walmart hurt you.
Points to the desolate wasteland of dead small businesses and underpaid workers subsisting on welfare unable to even afford shopping at walmart

I understand but still it is hilarious when people blame some Walmart of all things as a consequence. The evil Walmart regime
