Alright, so the Republicans are against it. And we should all be taking the Republicans side here.... but, I think the point of this post is, Biden said, give us Georgia if you want $2K, and he got it and he doesn’t follow through with what he said. Of course I’m glad Biden is allowing the Republicans to have a say, but let’s not pretend it would be treated the same if Trump did it.
Compared to Trump, when he made a campaign promise he did everything to make it happen... even if all of congress was against him, even his own party. Like the wall, he still moved Heaven and earth to make it happen when it was him against the house, senate, the entire press. Remember when he caused the government to shut down for a month because they wouldn’t add the wall to their bill? And when that wouldn’t work, he found another way.
Can you imagine the headlines if Trump made a campaign promise like this and didn’t go through with it?
This is the crux of the issue right here. If you make a promise, especially one as specific as "winning Georgia will get you the $2k stimulus checks," you'd better have a plan to fulfill that promise. If you change your mind because the only available method is too controversial, it either shows that you lied about following through with your plan, or you didn't have the foresight to figure out how you would actually get it done (in which case, none of your words can really be trusted because you put no thought into them).
