It's Almost Like Lefty Dems Have Some Good Political Ideas

Weird how when Democrats started pushing an AOC/Bernie policy, it went well for them!

I don't have that much to add about the unfolding drama in Washington around $2,000 stimulus checks (which, despite what supposedly intelligent people say, are a straightforwardly good thing) except this: it's interesting that when Democrats started pushing a policy they could have been pushing all along if they had been listening to their left-wing members like AOC and Rashida Tlaib instead of trying to constantly destroy them; and started letting people like Bernie Sanders drive their campaigning on stimulus checks; and started actually putting pressure on Republicans instead of lauding the shitty deals they cut with them, the politics around the stimulus started to change! Like, a lot! In ways that are benefitting the Democrats!

Wow. After a huge pressure campaign from @ossoff over the last few weeks, David Perdue's makes a last ditch political calculation to save his losing campaign. Here's Perdue in March, opposing *all* stimulus checks.

President @realdonaldtrump is right — I support this push for $2,000 in direct relief for the American people. https://t.co/Al3USM7zPr

Weird, huh??? Maybe next time Democrats will, y'know, listen to AOC and Rashida Tlaib and Bernie Sanders from the beginning instead of waiting for Donald Trump to launch a pressure campaign for a policy that should have been in the mix all along! LOL I know who am I kidding.
