Wonks, plz help me out. Is this abnormal, or is it just that the dems are feckless losers (and don’t want to block all the ghoulish shit the republicans did when they held the majority)?

    No he didn't. He's been fighting and arguing for 1200 for weeks, but there's only so much one senator can do.

      Yeah fr. He lost, and all of us who put any work into getting him into the presidency lost that chance with him. Maybe he's doing the best he can, maybe he isn't, but we're the ones who have to move on.

        I feel like there are a lot of folks who don’t know the difference between giving up and losing. Bernie didn’t give up on stimulus checks, he lost. The $600 check bill passed like 91-6. The most Bernie could have done against it would be minor delay tactics.

          He lost and backed off his threats to hold senate hostage.

          All the guy does is lose lately.

            Yes, and that says a lot more about the united lib-chud front fighting the left than it does about Bernie?

      He said he'd shut down the the most recent bill if they didn't give $1200 in it. They gave out $600 and he didn't filibuster it. Whether you agree with him or not, he didn't do the thing he said he'd do which was in his power.
