1. The ignorance on this subject is mind numbing
As a election year political talking point, it is a LOSER issue.

All one has to look at the minimum wage numbers and who actually works for it and for how long they stay on minimum wage is easy to see why almost NOBODY gives a shit about it, except the unions for obvious financial reasons

When under 2.5 percent of the people work for minimum wage and a high percent of them are both under 21 and work part time, political urgency will be at a all time low.

The vast majority of voters will not got motivated to vote on the minimum wage issue.
