Because they wanted those two GA seats and control of Congress by any means necessary.

They weren’t winning both seats without the $2,000 talking point.

They already had Congress. They needed the Senate. But unless they have all 50 Dem senators on board, they’re not going to pass anything.

and that’s the main difference between Republicans and Democrats. You have nikkas in here on some “blame republicans,atleast we tried :mjcry:“ shyt ..

When Republicans didn’t get shyt done their voters don’t be on some woe is me blame the other side shyt . They vote them nikkas out and put people in power that’s gonna do all the crazy shyt they want. shyt got so hot for John Boehner he resigned :dead: and that was before Trump .We would NEVER hold Pelosi’s feet to the fire like that and that’s the problem . We soft as hell out here

Exactly. fukk all this unity bullshyt. This is war. People don’t have to get along. Get things done by any means necessary.

They wanted those two GA seats and didn't have the momentum to do so until Trump brought up the $2,000 talking point. If it wasn't for that, then those cats were going home with the $600 stimulus while feeling like they accomplished their job.

For some reason people seem to be hesitant to throw Pelosi to the fire for her actions.

Don't forget she threw members of her own party under the bus after the November elections to deflect blame for their losses. She had Clyburn doing her bidding and throwing heat at Progressives and "Defund the Police" for their losses when both Nancy and Chuck's face were plastered all over those ads during election season.

That should have gotten her and Chuck thrown to the bushes, but members of their party were too bytchmade to do anything about it. Now you're seeing Manchin could care less about what either one of them have to say lol.

Common sense would tell you that Republicans controlled the senate and the house couldn't do shyt to pass a higher stimulus. When Trump put pressure on the senate, it gave democrats a way to push it and possibly pass it. shyt ain't rocket science.
Ok now Democrats control the house and the senate and it’s still more excuses

Biden always said 10k, so that's cap. $1400+600 is $2,000. Brah you're a republican, so stop capping. Which is fine, but don't come off like you some both sides critic. It took me 1 minute of your post history to see that.
Where’s the 10k in student loan forgiveness?

Truth is, if Trump was still in power there wouldnt even be a 2nd stimulus. But folks aint trying to hear that though.

Dems have a huge problem though, republicans stick together when its time for fukkery. Democrats have this everyone gets a voice mentality which means one side is promising pie in the sky and some people latch on to that and the other side is trying to pump the brakes and some people latch onto that. Which guarantees in the end not only are people going to be mad but someone can easily be construed as lying and the political ads write themselves.

p*ssy ass Dems can't never stay on code :laff:

She knows EXACTLY why less people gonna get checks but of course she goes and says that shyt :laff:

This.

Speaking publicly might make her look good to her constituents but it makes the rest of the party look soft. This was extremely selfish of her and it's one of the two reasons why I don't really fukk with her or AOC.

Blood gang is the best at keeping the in-fighting, in house.

That's not an open secret though. Everybody knows that Republicans wanted no part of another stimulus bill. That's how the Democrats were able to use it as leverage to take back Control of the Senate.

If Republicans wanted another stimulus bill, then they would have voted yes on the $2,000 to help win one or both of those Senate seats.

I said this was going to happen. Trump isn’t in office yet you somehow managed to deflect blame on him. The people did everything joe Biden told them to do. They got rid of trump and got him 2 senate seats and yet there’s still no accountability. Trump is the reason we’re even talking about a 2k stimulus. The dems agreed to $600. Trump used it to his advantage and that’s how we got here. They should have stuck to their commitment of $2k. At the end of the day it’s the same amount anyway. They should really be pushing 2k checks like he said he would do.

But this is kinda what I mean. I'm not shocked by the current state of the stimmy because I know how our politics works. And as you said, lots of GOP bills die too. My point is people want to immediately point at some sort of failure of Biden's leadership when really this falls on the Senate leadership. (Chuck).

There's a fundamental misunderstanding of how anything in politics works to the average American...and you'd think that after the last 4 years we'd have gotten better at it as a populous.
Joe Biden specifically said if he got the 2 senate seats the 2k checks would be at people’s door, not chuck shumer. He made the commitment and people are holding him accountable.

The average voter isn't nuanced in their thinking enough to see this. And that's why Dems fumbling on this is so dangerous. American voters (esp. Democratic leaning voters) are fickle as hell and need to be inspired to get off their ass and vote. Besides voting out Trump, 2k checks and the $15 minimum wage increase was a major inspiration for many people to come out and vote. I honestly don't see how this wont translate into Democrats getting completely destroyed in 2022.
