That's a bullshit argument, when Harris clearly supports raising the minimum wage.
I agree it's long overdue, like decades overdue. But Harris has clearly stated she wants it increased.
Harris at Aug. 10 Nevada campaign event:
I'm not personally a fan of the tip thing, that's a stupid idea IMO, but the minimum wage, absolutely needs to be way higher.
At her campaign 2020 Harris supported increasing minimum wage to $15,-.
you mean that $15 an hour Obama wanted 16 years ago that they keep dangling over our heads until we vote for them?

port workers are striking stating $80,000 a year is not enough, and you think $15 will not only cut it today but also buy a house with Harris's plans
I have no idea what your point is here, Democrats have supported this for a long time, but have been blocked by republicans in Congress.
You complain about $7.25, now you complain doubling it isn't enough. And you throw around speculations as if they are points for your position.
$15 may not be a lot, but it's obviously A LOT better than $7.25.
$15 an hour will not afford you housing, food, and healthcare
