you 100% don't need to try this hard to defend them. they should not have used the phrase "$2000 dollar checks will be in the mail if we win the senate" if they meant $1400 dollar checks will be in the mail if they win the senate

I mean, I'm all for sending more money. But have the decency to actually argue that larger stimulus checks are better.

This whole "they lied to us" is not an earnest argument, when you can look up the bill that they tried to pass through that directly lead to those promises.

*Biden doesn't even budge on $1400*

The disingenuous concern trolling is pathetic. If it were up to Republicans we wouldn't be getting anything after that last $600

Democrats should set higher standards for themselves than "better than Republicans."

the neat thing is that it isn't up to republicans so that's pretty much irrelevant.

So republicans have provided $1200 + $600 = $1800. Democrats are providing $1400. Which number is higher?

Hard to think of a better example of something disingenuous than the suggestion that anyone here is advocating for Republicans getting their way on this.

$1400 > $600, seems like they're over twice as better

No "but Trump" about it. Trump is actually the one "Republican" who called for $2k instead of $600 lol

This just kinda feels greedy

Obviously if they could just hand it out they probably would. So no they might try Or atleast they'll try and continue negotiating for more as time comes and they hopefully can, but they'll give us this asap.

They're just doing their usual including unrelated talking points in the bill that most stimulus check recipients couldn't care less about. Both sides have been doing this since the pandemic started.

Anyone who thought we were getting $2k on top of the $600 needs to seriously reevaluate how they get their news/information.

All kidding aside just shoot it up to $2000

Who fucking cares. It's a rounding error, for fucks sake.

Its just such a ridiculous own-goal, in messaging terms.
Its like Democrats like sputtering convoluted, inadequate explanations to clear, concise attacks. And many voters arent going to know/care that Republicans would rather give them nothing.

Trump wanted to give us $2000 stimulus checks. Biden only wants to give us $1400.

I'm so sick of hearing this bullshit, Joe Biden flat out said a couple days before the Georgia run off voting that if it turned blue $2,000 checks would go out immediately. What kind of different news or information is going to change my mind when I watched the president say it himself?
