    1. Pretty sure the margin in this vote was a little less than 90%
    2. Saying “I believe other people have been brainwashed” without even making a gesture at evidence to support your own claim seems a bit ironic

      What I meant is that vast majority of voters should support raising the minimum wage. Wealthy people that actually employ workers and pay them below proposed minimum wage should oppose it. The rest have no interest to vote against it. You would have to suppress shitload of voters to change the margins here and reject it. Hence, the majority voted against their interest.

      And please, we don’t have to proof anymore that Americans have been brainwashed. It’s been more than obvious for about a decade now.
