it blew every american's minds. even chapo was impressed, 2000 bucks can change a lot in a person's life. but that was over 3 months of expenses ago now, in a sane world we'd be looking forward to a 3rd check right now instead of still arguing over the 2nd

    You can be certain that he, or whomever he endorses, will make a huge deal out of it with something like “Joe/Kamala said they’d give you $2000, but they lied folks. I wanted to give American workers that and more, but the deep state stole the election to stop it. And just look at the news of health care prices that have risen over the last 4 years - we will fix that”.

    Of course, should a Republican win they won’t do anything to help people at all, but they’re in a position now that they can make the most minimal promises and it would seem like a break with the drudgery of 4 years of Democratic austerity. Especially if a secular bear market starts sooner rather than later.

      Yeah if i were him and planning to run in 2024, I’d bring it up all the damn time especially if the new $1400 checks never end up happening. It sadly is a good thing to bring up and gain support, given to him by the dems on a silver platter, especially 3 years later when no one really remembers how he also settled for just $600. But to most people, $1200+$600 will be better than $1400 or $0 in their longterm memory.
