I mean, was Pelosi wrong tho? Let’s say they pass the republican stimulus of 1.8 trillion, maybe that’s enough to get Trump re-elected. Seeing as how the Dems didn’t win back the senate like they thought they were, that would have been a monumental L. She was in a tough spot.

im not sure if i buy that
looking at the election results, everyones mind was clearly made up in like 2018. and no one actually gave trump credit for the first stimulus 
and u can go the other way; what if she took the deal, and the senate republicans voted it down, and the dems took the senate because americans were enraged? what if gideon and greenfield could have ran on the fact that collins and ernst voted against that stimulus?
who knows

I mean, everybody knew Pelosi was playing politics to stop Trump from getting reelected. I get all that.
But had she actually stuck to her guns, I would have at least understood and respected that. Now she's given away any ounce of leverage she had and is setting up Biden for a monumental L if Ossof and Warnock don't both win their runoffs. Mitch isn't passing shyt now, so you know he's definitely not after Biden gets in and Pelosi just admitted she was playing games.
Now all the Rethuglicans in the Senate are gonna be extra petty and obstructionist.

If this is all that can be done for now then it’s better than nothing. It better be $400 tho.

Can the Senate be more toxic?
But this still doesn’t work(regarding Pelosi new scheme) due to GA. And even if we take two seats it’s gridlocked with deals and kingmakers being made left and right

Biden is on board with this stimulus as well, the other day he called this a "down payment"
Implying that he will support a bigger stimulus once he gets into office.
