These folks should keep in mind that the $1400 hasn't even been voted on and approved yet so there's a good chance Americans might not ever even see that money. Remember the last Relief/Stimulus bill was talked about since summer 2020 before we finally got the crumbs of $600 in Dec.

A bad case of communications failure and lousy expectation management. What the Democrats were thinking is that the US Treasury would distribute $2K to each qualified recipient: $600 under the current law and $1400 under law yet to be passed by the new Congress.

Georgia voters assumed that they would receive an aggregate of $2600, $600 from the prior Congress and $2000 from the current Congress.

Oops.

No worries. What are these low info voters going to do? Sue to get their vote back? Then, give it to the pubs?
By the time the next election rolls around, the same promises can be made and broken and the past will be long forgotten.

More evidence that McConnell was the reason the Repubs lost Georgia in the runoff. Not approving the $2000 checks. And yes, I know we’re $27 trillion in debt. But the low info dems don’t know that. Print, print, print.

“By electing Jon and the Reverend you can make an immediate difference in your own lives, the lives of people all across this country because their election will put an end to the block in Washington on that $2,000 stimulus check, that money that will go out the door immediately to people who are in real trouble.” - Joe Biden

I'm enraged because it's not $20,000.

This is squarely at the feet of McConnell. They were about to pass the $2000 amount (bipartisan) when McConnell suddenly announced that he wouldn’t do it and he had his own plan. This was just a couple of days before the election.

Needless to say, the Dems took to the air in Georgia and flooded the state with messages that said “Vote Dem, get $2000.”

So of course that’s what people did. The GOP candidates were actually a little ahead before that.

This is not to debate the merits of the $2000 payment, but the time had passed for that, it was a done deal, and McConnell (intentionally, I think) sabotaged it and the GOP was blamed. He had to have known what the result would be.

Embrace the suck you voted (cheated) for Georgia. I will laugh when the democratic majority precincts deteriorate further under the new Biden economy.

This kind of naked “$$ for votes” should be illegal.

Can’t fix stupid..... they do not understand 600 + 1400 = 2000. Of course no politician explained it so let them think it was an additional $2,000, good for our side.

Both men narrowly won hard-fought races against Republican incumbents in the Peach State, winning control of the Senate for the Democrats in the process.
And purported with the optics by this breathless reporting blurb to have been an overall win win.
Sure sounds like the short memory massage.
