With the amount that the promise of $2,000 checks helped the Democrats win Georgia they are stupid to make this a cumulative $2,000 instead of another fresh round of them.

Huh? Where's the backlash? They've literally held the government for a bit over a week now.

I don't know a single person in real life who didn't fully comprehend that it was 1400 on top of the 600 for a total of 2K. If the backlash is only coming from social media and niche forums, I think the dems will be just fine considering their competition is dealing with being complicit in a coup attempt.

The issue is that average Americans are expecting $2k checks, and they won't get it. GOP will point to that as lies, etc.

This is how it was pitched from the start. Anybody claiming otherwise is either uninformed or being intentionally disingenuous.

I mean, its not an article and but this is exactly what's gonna happen/is happening

Use of "2k checks" was poor messaging if they meant to supplement the 600 check with 1400, like it should never have been in question to people how much exactly to expect if Dems got control

The way you wrote the thread title with a news tag made me think there was an article.

There's no backlash. $600 + $1,400 = $2,000.

We can pass more stimulus/relief in another bill.

No, they aren't. But if enough people say they are facing backlash then suddenly everyone believes it.

(And guess who is going to be saying this the most)

Dems and questionable messaging, name a more iconic duo.

I don't see the backlash beyond people understandably saying they should be giving more. We're happy for the checks, but Covid has been brutal and now is not the time to be stingy.

The issue with the messaging with that they kept $2,000 checks figure messaging well after it should have been changed. It was a fight to change the $600 check amount to $2,000 originally but once checks started going out it should have changed changed to $1,400 checks. Some might have made it clear but too many said $2,000 checks when they should not have at the time.

Why are people defending this? They said 2K in an ambiguous way that made people think they would get a full 2K on top of the 600 bucks. They should deliver on that promise.

lol at people acting like they don't know what the issue is. Dems messaged 2k checks so people are expecting 2k checks but they put out this tweet saying they are getting $1400 on top of $600.
