    Now they are going to have to answer that, if 1400 was the rest of the 2K, why everyone who got 600 isn’t getting the 1400.

    It’s so amazing watching the Dems dig this giant hole from what should have been the easiest layup.

    Wonder hoe they will blame progressives for this.

      If they hadn’t wasted so much time fighting for the $15 minimum wage, they could have used the political capital on giving everyone the checks.

      Or something like that.

        The response to that is “but then why didn’t anyone from the Biden camp or the DNC reach out to Manchin for either thing?”

          He’s the PRESIDENT. He’s really busy and was dealing with the crisis in Syria. Also he wants unity with everyone, he’s not going to try to force legislature that congress isn’t behind! Not to mention it’s not his place to publicly disagree with the parliamentarian.

          Sorry I’ll stop roleplaying as an ultra-lib.

            Lol it’s funny because all the ultra libs I know are getting stuck in a broken record loop and it’s the FIRST TIME I seem like the completely rational one to people it’s amazing.

    Millions of people who got a TRUMPbux check and are currently desperate and unemployed will not get the Biden check because the Democrats tell them they're too rich based off of how they did in 2019. And just like that the BAD kind of red wave was summoned

      Listen, Jack. They weren't going to vote for us anyway. We just need to pander to them by punching lefty socialists. Not by improving their material conditions.
