That's true, but with regards to the minimum wage, which is the topic we are on, republicans are typically against raising it.
> Let’s also not forget that while Repubs have traditionally been pro business, Dems, since the 80s have also got cozy with business and get humongous donations from corps —something which was not the case pre 1980s.
I don't intend to engage on "x is better than y." or whataboutism comparing political parties. It is simply a valid observation that republicans are more likely to be against raising the minimum wage, so it would follow that if Amazon is only doing this in the hopes that the government will raise it anyway and other companies would have to pay more, it would be an absurd risk to take.
