It's that they tell us that they want to pass these kinds of resolutions when they are not in power and then once they get in power, they blow it off and don't even attempt to pass anywhere near how they said it "should" be when they weren't in power.
But... your own post includes a tweet from the Vice President bringing it up when in power, and referring to passing a bill.

Her Tweet was in July of 2020 when she as an individual had some power but Democrats as a whole did not and she had less power than she has now.

Now that her party is in charge and she's in a much higher power role, her talks of 2K reoccurring payments have suddenly shut down...

The Democrats talk the talk when they don't have the power to push for what they're talking about and then as soon as they have the power, they clam up about all that shit (she seemed all aboard the M4A train back when she was trying to run for president. I wonder what changed...).

Did we get out of the pandemic all of a sudden and no one told me? What changed Madame VP between July of 2020 and February of 2021 that The American People no longer need reoccurring $2,000 payments and now we're all good to settle on a one time $2,000 ch... I mean, a one time $1,400 check (assuming they don't manage to negotiate against themselves down again)?

The Qanon freak getting a standing ovation from the Republicans rather than an immediate termination would also be why you Americans can't just get along.
Literal cartoon villians.

You don't have to live in the US in order to irrationally hate a political party or government.
There's nothing irrational about hating the GOP when you look at the fact sheet.

[/quote]Just look at all the people in the US who hate any kind of socialism or communism.[/QUOTE]
That would be because US politicians and US media propaganda brainwashed them into hating socialism.

There's nothing wrong with hating communism, though.

"No, MY hate is rational, but YOUR hate isn't!"
Yeah, okay.
Look at your post history. It's riddled with irrational thoughts and feelings. Just the last couple of months alone. Don't try to deny it. You're a Trump loyalist who believes in election fraud conspiracy that he peddled. You're about as irrational as people get. And no amount of pretending otherwise will ever work. All we have to do is go through your very recent post history. So don't bother.

Oh, in case you’re interested in why bipartisanship won’t work, removing the lady who wants to personally murder Nancy Pelosi from committees is an issue with less bipartisan support than impeachment.

Edit: Seriously, Rep leaders have decided that rather than censure a lady they don’t like who tried to get them killed they should make this look like a tyrannical power grab. They gave her a standing ovation for saying sorry. How do you cooperate with that?

To be fair, murdering Pelosi has bipartisan support.

It means that the rarity of your coming to the defense of a Democratic politician has no relation whatsoever to your credibility when doing so; there is no particular reason based on the fact that you are defending a Democrat to think that what you are arguing against is "off-base".
I mean, if your entire argument is that I'm not an omniscient power with absolute authority over all knowledge, sure, you got it. If you like to engage with the argument and not some ridiculous meta-argument, feel free. Do you think my description of the measures being passed by Democrats are more or less accurate than the person I was responding to?

Remember when Republicans tried to censor Omar over her critique of the Israeli government?

No.

What I'm saying is that, contrary to your claim, there is no reason to think that your usual bias against Democrats makes your defense of a particular Democrat in a particular case any more credible.

I also remember when Democrats tried to do that.

a) Yes it does make my defense more credible than if I was someone with known bias in favor of Democrats. It doesn't act as proof for my claim, but it does add credibility.
b) Who cares? I'm 100% right in what I said. Why does my personal credibility matter if you aren't even going to question the content?

Ohhh, okay. Got confused because the embedded tweet describes her as VP. I guess they update retroactively.

You're defending politics that you like (better than the alternative, at least) against politics that you don't like. No, it doesn't make you more credible. This isn't difficult.

Are you talking about under Clinton or something I’ve forgotten that’s more recent?
That whole episode involved Nancy Pelosi and others along with Chelsea Clinton calling for apologies and so forth. They ended up passing a more general resolution against hatespeech or something but they were targeting Omar for her extremely innocuous comments.

But I'm not. I hate the free money and want them to stop sending to me, and I'm specifically defending the follow through of politicians I dont like in this specific case.
