Are you insisting that actual facts get in the way of hyperbole?

when put behind the wheel of a bulldozer, yes

the best way to deal with someone firehosing bullshit is to firehose facts

my preference is less to 'get in the way' and more to 'bury alive' though

To who, exactly?

Can you read?

$1,400 stimulus checks
$300/week federal unemployment benefits in addition to state payments
15% increase in food stamp benefits through September
$30 billion in rental assistance, eviction moratorium extended through September
Increases and expands both the child tax credit and the EITC
Extends tax credits for paid sick and family leave
$8.75 billion to local governments for Vaccine distribution and administration
$130 billion in funds for K-12 schools to safely reopen

Progressives are FURIOUS that this is getting passed of course, since helping people was never their goal.

Because the Dems lied to their voters. Trump wanted to send you out $2k checks, Pelosi blocked that. Warnock/Biden/Ossoff told you they would give you $2000 immediately, its 6 weeks later and they're negotiating it down to $1400, with strict limits on who can receive.

Its one thing to buy votes with promises of free money. Its quite another to have voters vote, then renege on that promise once installed. Thats called fraud.

Because Manchin is blocking the votes, and Manchin has a lot of political power right now so he needs to be reasoned with instead of threatened. At least until Dems can win at least two more seats, then it wont really matter what Manchin does
