Honestly with out trump pushing the 2k do we get more direct payments? Nobody besides progressives were pushing it and theyd safety ignore them.
God i hope this pushes these idiots to pass popular legislation. They do that and i can see them maintaining the house ans growing theit lead in the Senate. Then we can nule the filibuster and pass voting rights and statehood shit
So the latest controversy is people - including some Democrat lawmakers - complaining that Biden announced a $1,400 check, rather than $2,000.
Maybe it’s just me, but with all the talk about $2,000 vs. $600, I always just assumed that the Dems saying that we’d get $2,000 during the period between the general and the Georgia runoffs meant $2,000 total instead of $600, not $2,000 more on top of $600.
Whether or not $2,000 is enough is a different argument (it’s not enough), but I never once thought that if Dems got control that the $2,000 would be in addition to the $600.
This is classic Democratic self-owning. The Victors of the world are all over twitter complaining about $2000 vs. $1400 because their whole online identity is shitting on Joe Biden for being insufficiently liberal. Never mind that he released a $1.9 trillion plan that has tons of great liberal stuff in it. They don’t actually care about policy outcomes, politics is as much a game to them as it is for Trumpers. Gotta own the shitlibs no matter what.
Okay this is some dumbass shit right here it’s not our fault we can shit on dumb dems for fucking themselves with stupid messaging. I love how you stupidly take a shot at victor for no reason except to defend this dumbass party, he really should go back to telling all of you to just fuck off every chance
Warnock was posting this picture and saying vote for him to get this AFTER the $600 went out
Here’s my post from the other thread which contains a link to Adam Schiffs tweet from yesterday where he thought the bill had NEW $2k checks. Seems like if the politician is confused then regular people will be confused too especially when the 2 GA reps were saying we will get you $2k checks when voted in and the $600 already went out. But keep carrying water for the fuckups that this party commits
I mean, Biden and a bunch of other Dems straight up lied, and there’s also no guarantee that this proposal doesn’t get further watered down before it actually passes right?
It’s very typical behavior of Dems to win a trifecta of LONG shot elections in Georgia based on a simple campaign promise to do good things, and then renege on that promise before the winners have even been seated.
Yeah guys let’s defend Biden because when he said a $2000 check he meant the $600 Trump check + $1400 Biden check. Explain that to the voters and regular people that don’t follow politics too closely who have been hearing we will get you a $2k check once the 2 Georgia senators win. Guess they should’ve put an * after all their ads with a terms and conditions on the bottom
Also I guess explain it to Adam Schiff because he assumed it was $2k checks too
This is the kind of thing I was talking about when I speculated that some eDems weren’t really sure if they wanted to win both Georgia races. Now the rubber really meets the road.
Do you know why schiff thought it was $2k and why warnock campaigned with an image of a check that literally said $2k and he said he would fight for $2k when elected?
It’s amazing people are whining about the people complaining about the dem party instead of the dem party that doesn’t have a United message and confusion within their own party
“That was always the intention”
Sure it was but how do you think Georgia voters will react to the unclear mixed messaging. But keep carrying water for this party lol
If by “that was always the intention”, you mean that the Dems never ever intend to make good on any of their promises to help people, then yes. Clearly. But it was 100% sold to people as a $2k check.
