    Presumably these networks would like to have AOC on to berate her, which is when she would say these things that make it obvious who has the power to do what.

    It's actually 100% a guaranteed win, because they can't pass anything without it. And Biden desperately needs to pass this. But like all things the left has won in US history, it takes being willing to withstand pain in the moment.

      The media is smart enough to know that blacking out a leftist position is more effective than arguing against it. We just saw that with Bernie.

      This is totally out of touch with reality.

        Go read about Women's Suffrage or the pressure the Communist party put on FDR before you account for what is reality.

        Biden has no choice here, it's pass this stimulus or see the entire economy collapse and people blaming him. A real Left coalition would use this to secure the $15 minimum wage he ran and was elected on.

          Things that are highly relevant in 2021

          The squad would obviously be blamed for this, not Biden.

          And lol at Biden voters giving a shit about some insincere promise he had on his website. They voted for "nothing will fundamentally change."
