The pretty obvious game here is to force Biden to do this as a D-only reconciliation bill and then claim for the rest of his presidency that you were *totally* ready to work with him until he set the tone by using legislative dirty tricks to "ram through" a party-line billhttps://twitter.com/BrendanBuck/status/1355897613543997445 …
The tricky bit is that while Obamacare was somewhat unpopular when it was passed, COVID-relief - the bigger the better - is massively popular right now. So I don't know if this trick will play the way they expect a second time. Fairly easy to call their bluff.

Obamacare, at the time of its passage, tended to poll around 45/55 against, with substantially more 'strongly disfavor' than 'strongly favor.' COVID relief has been polling around 70/30 or 60/40 for, with the energy on the 'yes' side.

I don't think the Rs feel they need very much cover at all to do a complete stonewall though

If the Dems want to pursue that strategy, they should start by not shooting themselves in the foot with the "600+1400=2000" thing Purely from a PR standpoint, hard to pose as wholehearted proponents of COVID relief when they're negotiating with themselves to propose less of it!
