Because Biden did better in red states the DNC isn't going to win, Obama had Biden's candidates drop out before super tuesday, and Bernie and Warren split enough votes for Biden to win due to a broken first past the post voting system.

Yay democracy!

Because there are more people who support Biden over Bernie than the other way around.

Though it is definitely interesting to wonder if Bernie would have been the clear contender if the primaries had started after the pandemic and riots.

How laughably ironic would it be if we as a nation shifted towards a monthly relief package in line with Yang's UBI plan but instead GOP gets 100% of the credit just because.

That would never happen. Every network outside of fox would be constantly reminding people that the GOP plan is modeled after Yang's and they'd call it bipartisan anyway.

Bruh have you ever even lived in a super poor community? 6 is exaggerating but I see soooooooo many women with no jobs and 2 - 3 kids getting their food paid for, their monthly rent paid for, and getting child support on top of all that. Adding on another 2K per kid would be ridiculous and they would just buy themselves purses and clothes anyways. It's a vicious cycle and the more free shit they get the less incentive they have to act like adults.

Unemployment gets a $600/week bonus, but that's running out at the end of the month.

But outside of that and the $1200 stimulus to those who made the right amount of money, yeah there's been nothing. The HEROES Act has been sitting in the Senate for a couple months iirc and wouldn't be surprised if the House passes more stimulus-type bills that just die on McConnell's desk.

I think the cap is kinda stupid given the point of the stimulus. However, that said, I think the amount of vitriol spoken by people in the middle class about a move that preferentially helps the less fortunate is really telling.
