Do y'all even realize the shit show repealing this would create?

Lol, McConnell produced his own stimulus bill.
Yeah, just approve the poison pills he added that go along with it. 🙄

You've always said that politicians need to give a little and take a little. Here's an opportunity for them to do so
McConnell has no intention of negotiating on this. It was all about providing cover when it all falls apart.
"Hey, I TRIED to get a $2000 stimulus bill passed through the Senate."
Would you trade section 230 protection for the billionaires at Facebook and Google if it meant that starving people got a 2000 dollar check?McConnell has no intention of negotiating on this. It was all about providing cover when it all falls apart.

That's only part of McConnell's proposal. We've gotta set up a super-duper massive voter fraud federal investigation too!!!
Is that bad? Sounds like a small price to pay for the help working people really need. Why would anyone block that?That's only part of McConnell's proposal. We've gotta set up a super-duper massive voter fraud federal investigation too!!!
You dumb shit. Google and Facebook just won't allow any 3rd party posting instead of taking on the risk of liability. This website itself would be at risk and likely shut down 3rd part posts, IE all message board posts.
Everybody read this and had flashbacks to their Mothers saying, "...because I said so."
I didn't say I like it, but its true. You've said in the past that you wish politicians would sit down and work together on things. Well here's an opportunity to do that.Everybody read this and had flashbacks to their Mothers saying, "...because I said so."
These are completely unrelated issues. This is precisely what average citiziens, on both sides of the aisle just be against, we shouldnt hold it up as "this is how things get done in Washington". You are doing nothing but falling for the political game McConnell is throwing at you.
You already tried to push it as Democrats blocking help for working people, yes you are either falling for it or ok with it happening.
Would you trade section 230 protection for the billionaires at Facebook and Google if it meant that starving people got a 2000 dollar check?
Is that worth having money in the hands of starving people?
You are clearly trying to set it up that Democrats are the ones who are blocking the $2000, knowing full well that if it was just a vote for the $2000, that Democrats would be fully on board. And yes, you will say you are only asking questions, but it is obvious how McConnell is going to try and frame this, and you are playing right into it.
You may notice that my first post in this thread stated I was against removing section 230 protections. Of course McConnell is going to use this for political purposes, that's what politicians do.
The issue isnt whether you are for or against 230. The issue is who you, and Republicans, are going to blame if the $2000 doesnt get approved. You are going to blame Democrats.
No, this has support of democrat leaders and the republican president as well as many republican senators voicing support. There's no reason to poison pill this if the republicans are genuine with their support. (They're not)
Its interesting that just a few years ago democrats wanted to strip 230 protections from the books. They had a pretty good rationale for it too. Why are they against it now?
Section 230 benefits nutjob republicans who gain more of a platform on sites like facebook than it benefits Democrats. The issue isn't who gains political ground, the issue is that it kills the internet.
Which explains why McConnell chose it as one of his "poison pills."
This kind of crap allows him to stop additional stimulus money to the public dead in the water while allowing GOP supporters like @Crazyhole to say, "See? Mitch TRIED to negotiate with those Dems!!!"
