THIS is why we need New Democratic leadership in the House! Democrats should’ve been standing loud and proud for $2,000 a month from the very beginning. #NoOnNancy

I am glad we are finally having a vote tomorrow on a $2000 stimulus. The question remains why we didn’t have this vote in March when @TimRyan and I proposed this. This is a lesson. It should not require permission from Trump or Republicans to vote on and push for bold policies.

I agree with the sentiment, but I think no amount of loud and proud standing would make McConnell and his colleagues accept to vote on a Democratic proposed legislation.

The Speaker of the House has a very loud bully pulpit, just like the president does. Using it matters. Politics isn’t just about the mechanics.

I see your point, but it seems the left tends to underestimate McConnell's intransigence. I really think if Trump, The GOP cult leader himself couldn't make McConnell budge on his decision to oppose the 2000$ paychecks, no amount of public pressure is going to affect his stances
