Disaster relief is bribery. That’s why Bush did nothing for Katrina victims. He wasn’t racist, he just didn’t want to break the law.
Admittedly, with how badly the Dems have handled fighting for the $2k checks I could almost buy that this is bribery, or more accurately blackmail.
This is not a terrible idea in and of itself.
I think saying they won't get it unless they vote how he want could be construed as that.
Seriously dude? How is this different from any other policy promise? I’ll tell you how, it isn’t. Now go focus on your disease ridden island’s problems and get back to worshipping the inbred German aristocrats your chinless people call god.
Actual money being involved and the claim they will get it only if certain people win. Not if the vote goes through or not.
As for "your disease ridden island" the UK found the variant because the UK path labs have been sequencing the virus, it's also been found in Italy and other places. It's likely also in the USA but you've just not been testing for it.
All policy promises implicitly are rooted in you voting a particular way because otherwise those policies can’t be passed, so let’s drop that obvious line of argument. Therefore, things that do not involve actual money according to you, Military Bases, Work Programs, Welfare, Medicaid, Food Stamps, Tax Refunds, Taxes, Unemployment Insurance, etc.
You don’t object to the missing chins though.
It can't, my cynicism aside this is politicking, not a legally actionable bribe or blackmail. It's disgusting that democrats are more interested in playing politics with the relief checks then actually fighting for them, but trying to say a campaign promise is a bribe is right-wing skullduggery and shouldn't be entertained.

It would only be bribery if money actually changed hands. As of right now no one has been paid to vote. This is more of a promise, and one that can (and most likely will) be broken.
You say that like I care enough about the existence of so deplorable an entity as a nation to be offended by that.
It's not an offer to make an expenditure, though. It's a policy issue. This is like arguing that talking about cutting taxes is bribery. It's asinine at best.
No dude. That's a campaign promise. That's him saying if the dems are in charge then he can guarantee that the cheques go out. If the dems aren't then his hands may be tied. A politician saying vote for me and I'll do x isn't a bribe/blackmail because if they're not elected they can do dick all.
Like 300 million for the NHS wasn't a bribe.
