I mean, sure, it doesn't have a good track record, but in a democratic state like ours, it's bound to turn out better. Right? I just feel like Capitalism is obviously exploitative, and we should nudge in Bernie's direction. What am I missing?
Minimum wage jobs aren't designed to support families, they aren't designed for you to have 3 laptops, an iPhone, 2 tablets, and rent an apartment in the city without a single roommate.
Working a minimum wage job means living a minimum life style.
Capitalism is freedom. The freedom to fail and the freedom to succeed. There needs to be losers for there to be winners. This is evident in every property of the universe and all throughout nature. If you don't like it then politely remove yourself from the gene pool so the rest of us high functioning adults can continue going about our lives.

I agree but many jobs that were once good money are now minimum wage.
Minimum wage should at least scale for inflation or not exist at all.

It shouldn't exist at all, you're right.

To expand, I'm a forklift driver. A semi-skilled job that used to require an added wage because of the responsiblity required.
With my time as a FLT we have lost the extra money and are on minimum and factories, firms and anywhere else have quickly followed suit.

Minimum wage was designed to be a living wage if you're employed in this country. Plus Tradeau or whatever is planning on making a wage in Ottawa just for existing which I think is WAAAAY to liberal for the world today. Fuck outta here with your bullshit. If you work 8 hours a day you should get a paycheck that looks like you won't have to worry if you feed your kids or pay the electric bill.

Basically fuck you leafy. We need the socialist jew to get us back to where we were in 1960

If you have children and are working a minimum wage job, you're fucking idiot and a piece of shill yourself.
You can live off a minimum wage job, the difference is that you won't be living a high lifestyle while doing the job a brain dead idiot can do. You don't deserve a standard of living for fucking existing, you earn that standard for yourself or kindly take some .45 caliber aspirin so the rest of us can go on without your stupidity.

Where did I imply otherwise?
My entire post was explaining that your average millennial does not understand the cost of living does not include your $20 a day on coffee and take-out. The cost of living does not include your cell-phone and internet bills. The cost of living does not include expensive clothing and alcohol every weekend.
My point is that the actual cost of providing you and your family with a roof over your head, healthy high quality food to eat, and transit is INCREDIBLY low. You are not going to go crazy or starve to death because you can't watch fucking TV every night or browse twitter every waking moment that you aren't busy.
Shilldog is still winning.
Also, Sanders is policy-wise a social democrat and it has a great track record.
Minimum wage was meant for high schoolers and college students to pay for education expenses. But people became lazy enough not to go to college, and inflation happened. Along with spics and sand niggers coming into the country, immigrants now have those jobs. No one expected people to make a living off of minimum wage.
And Bernie "if you're white, you don't know what it's like to be poor" Panders can go stick it up his soggy rectum.

This is why white birth rates are so low.
Get out of here shill. Fuck you.

What Sander's isn't getting in that quote is that wealth and property IS how a materialistic society measures responsibility and performance. It's the materialism of the left which has made our society wealth obsessed not "capitalism".
