    The weird thing is Biden is not someone who is typically bashful about these things. Remember: “Osama bin Laden is dead, and General Motors is alive.”https://twitter.com/ryangrim/status/1369379176113901573 …

    He’ll also make sure nobody knows why they’re getting more money per child, why their pension was bailed out, why their COBRA is covered, why their exchange plan costs so much less and why their local taxes weren’t raised and services cut. https://twitter.com/kaitlancollins/status/1369363561173155844 …

        he thinks defining himself as "not trump" is a winning strategy without any additional critical thinking

        I've yet to see the explanation of how his name on a check will inform people of all of these things. Why not just talk to a lot of journalists? Bring it up in speeches. Seems way more effective than cramming all of that on the memo line.

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        I'm not sure I get the leap from Biden doing the be opposite of Trump thing and not putting his name on the checks (that most people aren't getting cause of direct deposit) to "Biden will never take credit or campaign on any of this ever."

        He will give a speech. There will be ads cut. It will all get promoted by 2022. But yeah. They should honk the horn and ring the bells now, too.

        Also, he hasn’t yet signed the bill into law. Chickens, hatched, etc. Low prob, yes, but good to wait until signing ceremony. It’s like Repubs complaining that he hasn’t delivered on what he said he’d do in his first hundred days…on the 45th day.

        He has principles - the checks are not from him, they're what the people did for themselves through their representatives - and he'll get more good publicity out of not signing. Win win.
