Is there a reason to believe covid relief isn't there to relieve the burden of covid?

I want to know exactly what the Dems have a problem with.

That isn't a challenge. There is surely news articles explaining why politicians went the way they did.

Here is a detailed explanation from Nancy Pelosi(citing relevant experts) as to why she didn't like the proposed stimulus bill

This is why a 3 party system would be infinitely better. That way it wouldn't always be sides two sides squabbling back and forth. A 3rd party would be able to capitalize on 2 parties embroiled in us vs them constantly so there wouldn't be incentive to just political football back and forth like they do

Holy shit Ohhhja said something smart for once

Canada has a number of parties, but one seems to be in power more often than the others. This is by their design.

If your party's entire philosophy is "we believe whatever most Canadians believe" no shit they're gonna be in power the most. If Canada ever starts skewing left or right the Liberals will follow, as they did recently with marijuana. There's nothing wrong with this.

If you can't win a democratic election you should adjust to better represent the populace, rather than seeking to become less democratic. If Conservatives really want to become the major political party they need to better reflect Canadian viewpoints.

there is a 1.8 trillion offer from the trump side, all democrats have to do is say ok

If the Republicans refused to even hear of an offer this summer then why should Democrats treat them better?

Given the current Rethuglican party? Yeah, I would think anyone with a brain would think there is.

They don't want the economy to recover before they lose the election.
They want to pad the stimulus with voting regulations that will allow them to cheat in the election.

This is all you need to know.

So like I said, "No, more!"

They'll fuck over everyone if their demographic doesn't get priority and he doesn't pay for mail in fraud.

Because political positioning is more important to them than the well-being of American citizens.

Doesn't speak very highly of Trump's leadership capabilities if mail-in voting has been secure and free of fraud for over 150 years and yet it's only under his administration that they are now apparently a major fraud concern.

it's republicans who get caught even trying to perform mail fraud, anyways.

It was always a problem but no one cared because it consisted a small percentage of the votes, which will not be the case this year

"In addition, there have been problems with the Postal Service not postmarking ballots, making it impossible for election officials to determine whether the ballots were mailed in time to be counted. The U.S. Election Assistance Commission says that in the last four federal elections, 2.7 million mail-in ballots were misdelivered and 1.3 million were rejected by election officials.
In the 2016 election, almost 130 million Americans voted. Does anyone really think the Postal Service will be able to suddenly handle 260 million pieces of additional mailthat is, the ballots being mailed out by election officials, and then mailed back by voters? "

McConnell Moves to Head Off Stimulus Deal as Pelosi Reports Progress

The top Senate Republican told colleagues that he had advised the White House against striking a pre-election deal with Democrats to deliver pandemic aid, fearing political repercussions.

LOL

McConnell admits he'll hold it up because a stimulus bill would hurt Republican senators chances in their elections

Republicans know they're going to lose the upcoming election, so they don't want to pass a stimulus package, the effects of which will mostly come to fruition in a Biden presidency.

They would literally rather millions of Americans suffer than have a Democrat look good.

Republicans will win with or without a stimulus but they'll have more votes and positive outlook if they give some more of those trump checks before the election, also according to your theory, all pelosi has to do to bust through this plan is to agree to the 1.8T offer she declined

Why are you questioning this?

Either you don't believe Mitch said this (he did) or you think you know better than Mitch about the politics of the situation (you don't)

To be quite honest, this pandemic isn't a GOP or Dem issue. It's an American issue and as such our elected officials should do the right thing and assist those who have lost their jobs due to Covid but a few weeks ago Steve Mnuchin told people to stop waiting on the Government for help and go find a job and that to me is uncaring.

In my opinion a Government's role is protecting a country's borders against foreign invaders and protecting its citizens in any way possible and sadly America hasn't been doing that the past 4 decades.

FDR way back in the 1930s after witnessing the devastation of the Great Depression, decided to put safety nets in place in case of an economic downturn which is where SS, Unemployment Insurance, and Workman's Comp came from.

Remember prior to the Great Depression and the FDRs New Deal, working-class people had no safety nets or retirement plans etc and the New Deal and Labor Unions pushed for healthcare benefits , retirement benefits, better and safer working conditions, 40 hour work week with weekends off, better pay etc and that has all been eroded since the 1970s sadly. People don't know this but men like Andrew Carnegie abused the workers in his steel mills and those workers were White men which tells me Carnegie cared nothing about them as many men who worked for Carnegie ended up permanently disabled due to workplace injuries and those people weren't compensated at all which means they lived the rest of their lives in some cases dependent on fam members for their survival and that's why the New Deal was created along with Labor Unions which fought against corporate abuse of its workers but we're inching back to those days again in 2020.

Prior to the New Deal, no working-class people owned their own home simply because most people had no collateral and most banks feared people would default and not repay so the banks simply wouldn't loan money but FDR under the New Deal created the FHA home loans in which the US Government using taxpayer money would underwrite all home loans against default and the banks then were willing to lend money which made it possible for some of grandparents etc to purchase a family home and by allowing working people to buy homes, that put wealth at the fingertips of people who otherwise wouldn't have been able to a buy a home. One of my grandfathers actually used the G.I. Bill to attend college becoming the only one in his immediate family to earn a college degree and that would not have been possible without the G.I. Bill.

Republicans will win with or without a stimulus

Current polls have the Democrats at ~95% chance of keeping the house, a ~90% chance of winning the presidency, and a ~67% chance of taking control of the senate.

At this point, barring a massive upset or major late-game October Surprise, the only body that the Republicans *might* hang onto is the senate, and even there their odds are looking longer by the day.

Wanded posted...

Moscow Mitch has not endorsed any stimulus plan, including the $1.8 trillion offer you're referring to, and in fact has warned the White House against supporting it because he does not want to bring it up for a vote, where it would likely fail anyways because the Republicans don't have the numbers to pass it.

mhm

mitch has already said that he would kill any bill brought to him, from either side.

he needs to go.
