How will Joe Biden GOVERN? General Biden Administration F**kery Thread

[AquaCityBoy]

Because they ran on 2k checks. They ran on it in Georgia even after the $600 checks got passed. If you've removed the obstacle of the filibuster, why not just keep the promise you made literally 2 weeks ago? They have the American people on their side on this issue, there's no conceivable reason to water it down. It's just going to turn all these new voters into cynical voters right off the bat.

They ran on raising the $600 to $2000. A separate $2000 check on top of the $600 was never a part of the conversation. If the $600 hadn't gone out yet, or Mitch hadn't blocked the bill to raise the checks, it would have still been only $2000. Adding the $1400 to the $600 is them keeping the promise of $2000. People are only fake outraged because they either don't know how to add or they just want to be outraged at the Dems.

If they actually remove the filibuster, then I agree wholeheartedly, go for the full $2000. But with it in place, the GOP will try to spin that as, "Another whole $2000 is a liberal socialist wishlist because we already passed $600. " Adding the $1400 to the already existing $600 allows the Dems to go, "We tried to compromise, but the GOP are still being obstructionist fakkits. "

Whether the Democrats actually take advantage of that messaging is another story.

People have been getting starved by the republicans for months now. Getting mad that you are immediately receiving $1400 with a new administration after months of nothing seems a little counter productive but

i understand trump is gone and we need something new to be mad at but I think that energy can be saved for other things.

They ran on a 2000 check bruh. They didn't run on upping the 600 to 2k. Let's be clear about this.

Which is the smarter, better political move to make, simply go for an extra $2000 that most everyday Americans already support and are expecting, or be on the defensive and talking down to people explaining how $1400 plus $600 equals $2000? That liberal social slander doesn't have an impact when even voters in red state Georgia wanted the full $2000. Optics breh.

The conversation was always upping the $600 to $2000 because the $600 wasn't enough.

There was never a discussion about a separate $2000 check until after Biden's proposal (keyword: proposal) came out because people didn't know how to add.

Breh, the stimulus bill was passed on December 20th/21st? Biden was running on 2k checks in Georgia as late as January 5th. "$2,000 checks will go out the door" was his quote in GA on the eve of the runoffs.

The GOP is already saying, "No, we're not passing even the $1400," so it is very easy messaging to point out that this was a compromise that the GOP still blocked.

And the bill the House passed said, "raise the $600 to $2000." At no point did it say, "add $2000 on top of $600," because that was never a part of the conversation.

The fact that the $600 already went out does not change the fact that the conversation was always "raise to $2000."

Chuck better abolish the filibuster. I want my 2K got dammit.

Then they should stop being coy and just say $1400 checks. This slick shyt why people check out of the political process.

Student loan payments paused until September , guess I can redirect that $1000 payment I was going to pay to another debt and clear my shyt up faster. Hopefully the student loans get cancelled overall.

Where you read that? When is this effective? Got a payment reminder

. Biden's proposal is literally $1400 checks, in part because the $600 already went out. How is that being 'coy'?
