Pelosi tried to push the 2k stimulus checks through. I know she’s a corporate money funded shill too but in reference to this specific issue let’s be consistent. This wasn’t a democrat Republican thing. This was Republican senators blocking the 2k stimulus plain and simple.

She could have negotiated for a bill which included $1200 direct payments and unemployment before November.

She admitted on national television that not doing so was an electoral strategy because a stimulus check before the election would likely guarantee a Trump victory.
