We’re fighting for a $2000 one time payment, and even that is essentially crumbs. It should have been $2000 a month from the beginning of the pandemic, lasting through the end of it. No other advanced country has seen its people so systematically neglected during the pandemic.

As much as I would love to get 2k a month... where is this money coming from? Trump fucked up the economy. Last thing we need is giving away money every month to everyone. How are we going to pay for this? We're already in serious debt.

Democrats should ram monthly checks through Congress, now that they have the majority. Maybe that will get the ”fiscally concerned” to ask their constituents to wear a darn mask and socially distance so that we can all get back to normal sooner.

Yes ma’am, that’s the point. They want to exhaust us and make us feel victorious about a one time payment of $2k/$1400. They’re hoping we’ll be too tired to demand retroactive and monthly payments of $2k.

At some point you have to say, we get what we bargain for. We knew who the Biden administration is and would be. The fear of Trump became greater than the needs of the people on the ground. Sad.

The US spends all its time brain-washing its citizens that its the greatest nation in the world, whilst simultaneously proving thats its actually really shit compared to most other developed nations.

Biden is making the perfect pitch for Trump/Hitler 2024. Going back on a promise this big will have huge consequences but I guess our government loves the idea of a Hitler nation

Disagree. We never should have shut down. The sick should have isolated or been hospitalized. Hydroxichloroquine+ should have been permitted. The economy should have remained open and we would have been okay.
Ummm...yeah, you’re not alone there. Canada gave some people $2000 with the CERB but not disabled people. Now some of those people have been given huge bills to repay because the eligibility was unclear and now they’re not eligible. So...
The oligarchs want the American people as debased as possible so they can be exploited endlessly

This can all be solved with a nation wide strike but most of you so called allies are too comfortable avoiding the oppressed class to care 🖕🏾
