It's the bare minium for any senator to try to force a vote on something that's in favor of their constituents.
Sanders and Markey are refusing to vote for something else unless this is voted on by individuals rather than just kept off the table by McConnell. Schumer should encourage the rest of the Dems to do the same.

Except that defense bill should be vetoed.

So then Dems would be smart to hold out and force a vote on the stimulus in order to allow the Senate to override the veto

No they would be pricks to kill a veto override just because they didn't get their way.

It's military funding that was vetoed and up to be overruled. That's one of the few things Republicans won't just let go. It's a good thing to use for leverage.

No it's not sensible and it's every bit as wrong when they do it. Don't drop down to their level. It's like telling your kids not to smoke while you smoke. It's sheer hypocrisy.

And then what? They drop their morals even lower so you go down to their level again? Are you saying next election if a republican wins democrats should start sueing states and start circumventing democracy?

Especially when this is literally the only option available. And the end result will be we get both things done if Mitch decides to stop being an awful person.

I think its more fundamental than that: Mitch doesnt like the idea of government helping non-wealthy people and is afraid of creating the expectation in the public that government can and will should help them.

I dont thing ANYONE should be killed for their opinions. We should be better then that.
Millions of Americans are going to be negatively affected by his opinion, so the outrage is more than justified. Maybe you should learn how to contexualize situations
