Just let Republicans stand at a podium and filibuster the very popular aid Biden won the election promising he would work on delivering. It makes me what want to slam my head into a wall when Democrats work to make Republicans' re-election bids easier. There's no valid reason to avoid having the public watch Republicans try to derail very popular policy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share Posted February 1, 2021 But no, instead of passing popular policies and saying "vote for us again if you want more of this", they'd rather try to get cute about whether they ran on $2k for $1400.

No. In Georgia, Democrats close with populist pitch vowing $2,000 stimulus checks WWW.NBCNEWS.COM In a historically conservative state won by President-elect Joe Biden, Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock are leaning in to the prospect of a Democratic Senate.

I'm saying there is a 0% chance that the checks are going to be $2,000. There is a non-zero chance that they will be less than $1,400. So the debate is pointless.

To elaborate, let's not forget how this discussion started: with Trump demanding $2,000 checks and then randomly signing the bill with $600 checks. When the Dems then started campaigning on that $2,000. I thought it was obvious that they were trying to get the $600 to $2,000. I guess not.

PaladinSolo Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Its pretty obvious they were talking about adding 1400 to the 600 dollar checks, the only reason i'd say go for 2k is a month has passed since then, but the rest of the bill is far more important, UI, state and local funding.
