    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.

      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.
