    My father says that the the understanding was that $2,000 total would be given out.

    When I pointed out that they said $2,000 checks would go out, I was told that things can change and compromises may be made.

    Of course, if I say that the Democrats control Congress and the Presidency, he says that some Democrats need to be compromised with.

    Finally, when I point out the party could do more to get the holdouts on their side (such as threatening to primary them), my father says that it would not be the right thing to do.

        At one point, he said that I was sounding like "that crazy woman from New York" (AOC). He didn't have much of a response when I pointed out that, if she got her way, we would have more benefitted.

      Don't allow them to change the argument. Once you get to "things can change" you nail it down. "So they did change it. And if we have to do these kind of mental gymnastics to justify it, it means they didn't want to address it."
