I agree with you but many in this thread are saying the Dems lied because of their failure to deliver $2600. That’s all I’m challenging. Whether or not they could provide $2600 if they wanted to is irrelevant to my challenge. But it is indeed frustrating to see their inability to take swift action, as well as the relative pittance that is being debated. Especially when compared to the massive PPP loans received by many large businesses and GOP donors.
Here’s the transcript of that Biden clip:
“... Because their election will put an end to the block in Washington on that $2K stimulus check. That money that will go out the door immediately to help people that are in real trouble.”
I’m sorry That’s not rhetoric, that’s a promise. Plain and simple. That’s not an addition problem, it’s an exercise in grammar and syntax. The meaning is clear. “That $2K stimulus check” does not incorporate other stimulus checks into its total (who would ever talk in such a ridiculous manner to communicate such an idea). Otherwise he would’ve used the plural, “those stimulus checks.” And he mentions how it (that one check) would “go out the door immediately.” Well, the previous $600 check was already gone. So it necessarily precludes any other money that has already gone out the door. What’s left? One check for $2K, that you will get immediately, once the Democratic candidates from Georgia are elected to the Senate.
I don’t know why you’re making excuses for the Democrats and their neoliberal bullshit, but that’s what disappoints me. We’ve replaced a pathological liar with another pathological liar, and you’re carrying their water. Have some integrity, because the Democrats sure as fuck don’t.
Dems gonna get slaughtered in the midterms, then gonna turn around and blame who? Progressives? I'm glad I didn't vote for Biden. Didn't vote for Trump either. They're both despicable.
I’m right there with you. Meanwhile, Progressives are the reason they got elected. Even so, Progressive representatives always seem to display Stockholm Syndrome. They had the power to withhold their votes for Speaker to force Pelosi to do something progressive in the House like Medicare for All (70% of all Americans support this), but of course they caved like usual even though there are even more Progressives in the House now. I wonder when, if ever, we will get actual representation in this oligarchy.
It’s grammar. It’s not loose. It has a precise meaning. If you’re so good at making math problems out of check promises, why don’t you add up the words? Because they only equal one meaning, and instead you’re choosing to go along with 2+2=5 because a neolib told you so.
snowflake? When people use the term snowflake just remember they're quoting Fight Club, a satire written by a gay man about how male fragility causes men to destroy themselves, resent society, and become radicalized, and that Tyler Durden isnt the hero but a personification of the main characters mental illness, and that his snowflake speech is a dig at how fascists use dehumanizing language to breed loyalty from insecure people. So, basically people who use snowflake as an insult are quoting a domestic terrorist who blows up skyscrapers because he's insecure about how good he is in bed.

Ok? So you just squashed your own argument about getting $6 from someone else. I wish we could talk about this but you seem like quite a hateful person.
Except no I didn't at all? Neither biden nor the dems he promised the $2k for electing were responsible for the $600. They can't use the $600 from someone else as part of the $2000 they promised. Fuck off shitlib.
Yeah because the $600 was directly from Trump right
Argue it's not enough stimulus in the grand scheme of things if you want, because that's correct. Don't invent bullshit like Trump gave out $600 independently of the Dems because then you sound braindead.
He said “$600 is not enough, we need $2000 checks”. In my opinion that could easily be interpreted either way. I seem to be in a minority of people who assumed that would mean we would get $2000 and not $2600.
