Democrats really must think we’re stupid.
Ok, so their base will pretty much believe anything they tell them (remember when thousands of them went to Chinatown to prove they weren’t racist during the pandemic?), but if they’re looking to influence the middle, moderates, and independents they’re going to have to do better than finger-pointing when it comes to COVID relief.
Especially when folks like Matt Whitlock have the receipts:

Sorry Americans who are going without the basics, Democrats won’t give you any relief until we make sure there is diversity in shops selling cannabis.
Really with this crap?
From @SenatorBurr on #COVID procedural vote: “Senate Democrats have proven they have no actual interest in providing relief to those who need it, but are instead willing to play politics with people’s livelihoods.” Expect to hear this message from GOP senators. #ncpol

And they’ll blame Trump.
There’s the 41st vote. Senate Democrats have used the filibuster to block debate on a new COVID relief package. They recently did this on police reform, too.
(Reminder: They are openly discussing eliminating the tool they’re currently using if they gain power in November).

Final:
52 Yes
