Not if they win. Besides they're just asking for more than they think they can get. Making the national minimum wage $15 would do more harm than good and they know that.
They don't care if they get it or not. It's not like it actually affects their lives either way. All they care about is feeding the public whatever will get them votes.

If they cared about what people at the poverty line actually made, people like Elizabeth Warren, the great progressive crusader, would've taken a pay cut when her university asked for volunteers so that they wouldn't have to fire anyone. But she didn't and no one cared so she keeps her place on her pedestal of lies and goes forth as the voice of the people.

You do realize how stupid and dangerous a $15 federal minimum wage on the DNC Platform is, yes?
I went to a McDonalds to grab breakfast on my way to my flight and I have no doubt in my mind that they are not worth $15 an hour.

I'm not a finance person, but that actually looks pretty good if true.
Since the 90s we've had about a 2%-3% inflation rate. 2% compounded yearly would be 22% for 10 years. We haven't had sub 2% inflation since the 1920s.
