No one would have received a CTC payment today if not for Democrats winning both Senate seats in Georgia. That would have never happened without Mitch refusing to send out a $2,000 stimulus check while Ossoff and Warnock ran on changing that.

Furthermore, it was the passing of the $600 stimulus check that helped pave the way for the $2,000 push in Georgia, and two key players in that were @AndrewYang and @HumanityForward. That 2nd stimulus check almost never happened and many complained it was too little to support.
But little victories are still victories, and strategically they can make all the difference in winning extremely large victories.
Also the $600 was possible because of the $1200 which was possible because of a shift toward unconditional cash as the best emergency response.

Stuff doesn't just happen. Stuff leads to other stuff after coming from other stuff. It can take a long time to make big things happen, but a steady drip drip drip from enough people over a long enough time can erode long-standing mountains.
