But it's also immensely popular. Indeed, without the promise of those checks Dems wouldn't have taken the Senate seats in GA, and their whole agenda would be dead in the water. And it would be politically catastrophic to renege on that promise 5/ — PolitiTweet.org

I'm not saying that we should sugar-coat things, pretending that policies are better than they are. But if you really want to make a positive difference, you should accept imperfect policies that make other good things politically possible. 7/ — PolitiTweet.org
