If the Democrats had introduced the original bill, you wouldn't have gotten jack anyway. I find it rather amusing Trump and Republicans got momentum behind an idea that all the other Democrats besides Yang balked at.
I will say that at least Pelosi and Sanders had the common sense to want to develop the bill into an even better form instead of wanting to kill it outright like AOC and others seemed intent on doing.

AOC and many others opposed it because most of it is focused on giving tons of money towards huge corporate bail outs while leaving the people that will actually struggle with jack ****. You're intentionally ignoring key bits of context to push a dishonest narrative. But that's life being Trump's personal ass wipe.
