    “I wasn’t a lying duplicitous bastard like Trump. That’s where I went wrong.”

    just… what?

    To be fair, it says a lot about the intelligence of the average American when a lot of them think these checks were from Trump’s personal bank account, just due to the signature.

    Literally all you had to do was offer universal healthcare, as evidenced by *sweeping gesture at everything.

      That was my exact response - he’s right in a very limited sense, and notably a sense that hinges on the sad fact that too many Americans are dumbasses who thought that Trump’s signature over a check drawn on the US Treasury meant something, and therefore the absence of Biden’s also did.

      You need House and Senate Supermajority to pass universal healthcare, just like it took 60 dems to give us Medicaid Expansion and Protections for Preexisting conditions in 2010. We would have had Single Payer but Joe Liebermen was the sole blue holdout and he didn’t die until 2013.
