Well there would have been if after they realized how bad they screwed up they had taken steps to fix the issues they caused. Instead they abdicated all responsibility to the states and went on a misinformation campaign that literally destroyed the economy and killed hundreds of thousands.
Now they spend all their time trying to pretend Trump won the election instead of doing anything to help the people.
But as soon as Jan 20 hits you will see them all of a sudden truly care about how bad the people have it. Just like they will all of a sudden care about budgets and the deficit.

For as good as Nancy is at somethings...this is the crap she is never good at. If the Dems were doing what Mitch is doing the GOP would be on TV every hour throwing gasoline on them all and lighting matches. The Dems just sit back and assume the GOP will do the right thing. They are too old to govern in the current climate.That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

Joe isnt negotiating. (cause he doesnt really have the power to yet) If he asked me (and why the hell would he do that) I would tell him his thinking is antiquated. He isnt wrong, in a normal political climate you pass the crap bill then pass more bills to build it up more. That was the plan with the original Stimulus too. It was supposed to be the first step, get things back on track and then we would fix what needs fixing as we go. By May the GOP killed that plan fast because Trump had his advisors telling the country that we had already beaten the virus and we could re-open. There was a minor extension given on the extra unemployment money but that is it. Since half this country believes every word he spews there was no push for more help. Then George Floyd is murdered and all hell breaks loose...
If I thought for one second Mitch would pass any bills to bolster things once Biden takes over I would agree with Joe. He won't and he doesn't even pretend he will. He has zero interest in helping anyone, especially when a Dem is President. The Bipartisan Bill was a great idea and I applaud all involved for trying even if it sucks (my contempt for Pelosi and Schumer is that they shouldnt be endorsing it after the public displays they made and because they are toxic) but since we only really have one shot at this it just isnt enough. Joe and the Dems need to treat this Stimulus the way they need to treat his term...a one shot deal to fix what is broken. Barring the GA runoffs going perfect Mitch is going to control the Senate and we can't count on Romney or Collins or Murkowski to vote against him. Whatever gets passed has to help everyone, or in reality it is not going to save the economy. The only way PPP should be accepted is with another round (or two or three) of Stimulus checks for the taxpayers and unemployment extensions/supplements until the vaccine is widely circulated and experts agree to a large opening up. Period. End of story. Anything less is like kicking a FG down by 30 with 5 minutes to go.
We will see though. The looming shutdown changes things a bit as well.Last edited by Handyman; 12-04-2020, 11:44 AM."It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."
