    Now imagine if he had done something for student loans, might’ve saved the election for the democrats.

    didnt he try and the conservative supreme court struck it down? of course we can talk how the SC got conservative but thats a history lesson.

      i don’t have the sources handy, but apparently the “approach” to loan forgiveness that the democrats went with was the one that was a lot less tenable and more easy to be struck down. There were other parliamentary approaches they could/should have gone with (if they actually gave a shit) that were more solidly supported

        yea of course they could have done quite a bit when they had power, but it’s a broken system that is broken on purpose. “Oh no we can’t do that because Joe fucking Lieberman exists.” WELL THEN KICK HIM OUT OF THE PARTY. Fuck.

      The SC ruled he could drone strike the SC and send in Navy SEALs to kill any survivors, but Biden didn’t do that because he’s a coward.
