what a dumpster fire.. seriously why can't we get an actual covid relief bill?

Because of Republicans in the Senate.

i don't subscribe to one side or the other, they all seem like idiots

There is certainly plenty of bipartisan idiocy, but on the question of real COVID relief there is a distinct partisan difference rooted in (1) Republican anti-social-welfare-spending ideology, and Republican. COVID-isn’t-a-real-problem-the-problem-is-lockdowns-which-are-unjustified propaganda, which has been successful with the base on which they rely.
