Fact is, come Monday, you will have a President screaming that the people deserve $2000. You will have a House voting to give $2000.
You will then have McConnell saying that he will not bring it up for a vote.
Who will be the one preventing the $2000? McConnell and the Republicans. Period.
When it comes to all the entitlement programs that the dems push for, it may be 50-50 out there if it's right or wrong. But, for example, take section 8. There are way more people that would qualify than actually receive it. Therefore, it's not at the forefront of every lower income person's mind. Even other programs that can apply to anyone that wants, are not utilized by every person that is eligible, because they simply don't want to be bothered or know how to apply. So when they think of Democrats, and funding for various programs, it doesn't really talk to all lower income people, since some aren't part of programs. Therefore it doesn't usually raise the voting bar above 50 50 range.
However, the $2000 stimulus goes to every low- middle income family, without needing to even apply for it. Therefore it moves the ideological needle above the 50 50 mark, especially when you say, if there is 2.3 trillion of pork being spent, why can't I at least get $2000.
That is my reasoning, that if McConnell holds the bill in the Senate, they will lose Georgia badly, since the blame will fall squarely on the R Senate, and the frustration will be taken out on the 2 incumbent Georgia senators.
