Basing relief on 2019 (pre-pandemic) income leaves a lot of people behind who are/were unemployed or whose income went down in 2020.
Simple solution: give everyone the $2,000 they were promised, then tax the ultra rich slightly more to account for the check that they didn't need. It really isn't that complicated, and no one gets left out. Not to say that the rich shouldn't be taxed a lot more - they should - but I'm just speaking specifically to the issue.

Let’s name names. Let’s vote them out in primaries.

TBH it's already outrageous every morning we wake up without the check. Every 24 hours dems are losing more mid term votes.
