I remember the controversy and would’ve preferred the full $2000.
I remember Republicans saying they wouldn’t let the full $2000 pass. So Biden lowered the amount so that it would actually pass.
Because Congress had the final say in what would pass. Right?
If Congress had the final say then Biden shouldn't have kept saying $2,000. But I guess you don't get elected by only making promises you can keep
So you feel Biden should’ve stuck with that original $2000 and let Republicans block the bill which would’ve resulted in nothing for the American people?
This whole exchange shows why we're doomed. This guy is shitting on Biden for not giving him more money, but still giving him as much as he possibly could. Meanwhile it's the other party's fault the number is smaller to begin with.
Oh he should have predicted what arbitrary number the Republicans were going to dig in on and only promise that? Like they wouldn't have used that as the new starting point in negotiations and gone even lower
He should have said $1400, since that's what was going to happen.
How can he know what Congress would pass before they say? Or are you expecting him to see the future?
Some guy gives you $6.
I say I'm gonna give you $20.
I get you $14 and I say it's $20 because of the $6 from before.
Do you not get why people would be upset about this? Stop thinking like a wonk and start thinking like someone who reads at a fifth grade level and had their civics class cut due to lack of funding.
No, it's some guy gives you $6.
I say I'm going to give you $20.
When it comes time to give you the money later, a third party says no.
I give you the $14 that I can give you.
You ignore that the third party got in the way and you told me it's my fault.
I trust AOC more than some dude on the internet
You should start thinking this way, so that the things you say are correct and relevant.
Read this very carefully; winning an election doesn't mean that you get to do everything you want. Again; winning an election doesn't mean that you get to do everything you want.
There are a lot of people who don't seem to understand this concept. Winning an election just means that you get to try to do what you want, but you're always going to have to make compromises because that's how democracies work.
Voting doesn't work and elections mean nothing. Got it.
