Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

How about we raise the minimum wage instead?
Tipping is culturally enforced abdication of responsibilities toward workers.
Actually one of the policies she's running on...
Harris is talking about both^[1] (minute 22:00 - 22:30 if the timestamp didn't work).
Sorry, no can do.
Outlawing tips? Changing the tipping culture overnight? Updating the tax code seems easier/faster.
I said nothing of the sort
Neither did I say this.
Sounds like an excellent conversation for you to have with whomever said those things. Which, let me remind you, is not me.
Good one.
Isn't Harris talking about raising the minimum wage as part of her campaign?
Is she? I must have missed it.
I've read that she actually brought it up in this very rally at Las Vegas - alongside the tax-free tips. I haven't seen this rally though so can't substantiate. She's talked about raising the minimum wage to $15 before however^[1] and I swear I've heard her mentioning making the minimum wage a livable wage in either one or her rallies or her speech to the UAW.
She did in fact bring up raising the minimum wage at this very rally^[1] (timestamp 22:00 - 22:30).
She doesn't really have an official policy yet. Not surprising given the number of issues she needs positions on and how quickly this campaign needed to spin up. She basically went straight into campaign events. Presumably she'll have a platform by the DNC
