Don’t bothsides this. Only one person decided that millions of Americans should have their unemployment insurance expire today.

While that might be it's irrelevant to the point that politicians have, in general, not helped.

Agreed, and yet looking at the Biden transition team the wealth transfer is going into hyperdrive. I can’t see the Dems winning progressives again with the “other guy is real bad” argument, so let’s hope the next Trump isn’t even worse.

elaborate?

As long as we're engaged in extremely reductive reads of the political situation, Trump and the Senate GOP were ready to agree to $1,200 checks and UI extension before the election, but Nancy Pelosi used the pretext of being opposed to employer immunity from Covid lawsuits (which they have since caved on) to block the legislation.

This is a really cynical read.

If you want you can replace the word "pretext" with "reasoning," the rest of it is a matter of fact and public record. Although I'm not sure how one justifies any kind of read other than a "cynical" one after this year.

You sound like you missed the part where Trump/GOP waited until before the election to be ok with literally buying votes
