The performative left who are now demanding a $25 minimum wage demonstrate why they will be forever marginalized, powerless, and without influence. Winning builds your movement. Rather than take the $15 win, they present it as a loss, demanding more.
If you can never deliver anything for your movement, you will have no movement, you have a club. If when you are handed a victory such as an increase in minimum wage, refusing to celebrate that win leaves you without any victories.
If you have no victories, there is no reason for people to work with you because you deliver nothing. Take the win, celebrate it, and move on to a new demand.
Of course, they did nothing to secure the $15 MW, so it's fine they present themselves as losers.
