Not with the current Senate makeup, no.

Right.

McConnell would just block it like he's doing now.

if obama was president with a gop senate, they wouldn't have passed the first stimulus. But since our president wouldn't have made mask a political issue, there would probably be 100-150k more americans alive right now.

I still don't get why Democrats don't just put McConnell on blast across every available medium.

Id say yes, but it'd be 3 trillion because for everyone to agree to approve it, they'd add useless shit.

You only need 1/10 of that to give the people $1500 checks

Because Pelosi is just as guilty when she tried to get a 2.4 trillion bill out the door

Republicans arent that smart to catch on. They dont even believe that the house already passed the bill.

because the democrats are bad at politics. The republicans convinced people that biden is a socialist, supported defunding the police, and was going to raise everyones taxes. Yet the DNC can't show that the GOP would rather punish americans then let a democrat get "credit" for helping.

yes, but your post was about their efforts to discredit Biden with stupid claims, implying that they are "good" at politics, unlike the Democrats. but they failed badly. if your point was about other races, then we'd have something to talk about.

I mean Obama sent out one stimulus check after the 2008/2009 financial crisis then basically had no more fiscal stimulus and relied on the Federal Reserve's monetary policy to stimulate the economy the rest of his term.

So maybe not.

Edit: actually those checks were from Bush's administration, Obama had limited stimulus to SSI, SSDI, retired railroad, etc people receiving benefits then payroll tax cuts and some child tax credits.

my post was about the gops ability to convince voters that the dnc was running on things they weren't running on. A policy that was immensely effective in getting them to retain Florida and keep Texas from getting closer to purple and helped them do extremely well in the congressional races. While also keeping the swing states close enough the race wasn't able to be called until Saturday. Go back to school, jesus christ.
