    I mean, am I in Biden’s head? No.

    So you made that up.

    Is there any other reasonable conclusion to draw from his behavior and rhetoric in the political context he was in? No.

    Republicans said they wouldn’t let the full $2000 pass. If Biden tried it anyway it wouldn’t pass and Americans would be left with nothing. That’s common sense. But you claim there is no other conclusion to come to…

    The process involved congress but the president had most of the power to frame and shape what the covid relief checks were.

    And Republicans in Congress said they wouldn’t let the full $2000 pass.

      Source on this? Even if it is true democrats did nothing to publicize this fact, the fight for this shit is like Biden’s “fight” for a $15 minimum wage. Even if he technically fought for it, the strategy is so poor and so halfhearted it hard to count it for anything meaningful.

        What was poor about his strategy?

        The only other strategy would be to write a bill that will go nowhere.

        How is that a better strategy?
