If they didn't, then they would have revoked Mitch's majority seat in order to pass this.
It's easy to blame one person. It's much harder to blame an entire party and, by extension, its entire voting constituent.
If you're a Republican voter and you're outraged that McConnell stole your 2000 dollar check, you have yourself to blame for this. If you're a Democrat voter, you've probably hated McConnell and, to a large extent, every other Republican Senator for the better part of the last 3 decades now, so no change there.
Stole it? Let’s be a little objective. It’s not like it passed and then he pulled it back. If the Dems wanted $2500 and he said $2000 then did he steal $500? Or the Republicans as a whole. Why is one half of Congress proposal the real one?
