The Dems have loaded up their $3.4 trillion Bill with a bailout of almost a trillion dollars to the states and also the repeal of the SALT deduction, in addition to other stuff that isn't really related to the Coronavirus. Here's the thing: if the Repubs agree to that or anything close to it then they're fucked in the November elections. And they would deserve to be screwed and booted out of office, and they might take Trump with them. IMHO, in Biden wins and the Dems take the Senate and keep the House then for the next 2 years at least this country is going to make a very hard turn to the Left, far more than we did under Obama.
But what if the Dems cave? How much control and power does the Far Left really have in their Party? The more moderate Dems pretty much forced the Party to accept Biden as the nominee, knowing that Sanders or any other Far Lefty had no chance to beat Trump. But what if the Dems cave on the latest Relief Bill, what then? That could hurt them in November too. Or both sides could wait until after the election, even though a lot of people need help RIGHT NOW. It should be clear to everyone by now that what we need is not the highest priority to them. It'd be nice if both sides could just agree to send out the checks to go the neediest people and let the other stuff go to after the election. But again, that hands a victory to the GOP, so probably that won't happen.
