Someone didn't actually pay attention to who actually blocked student debt forgiveness...

[-] quindraco@lemm.ee 34 points 1 year ago

Biden tried to deal with the debt. He was stopped by separation of powers. Maybe next time structure your meme after reality, so it can be actually funny.

[-] sudoshakes@reddthat.com 26 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Technically he was stopped by an illegally stacked Supreme Court from a single senator in Kentucky refusing to allow a floor vote on a justice while Obama was president.

But tomato tomato.

If you're blaming Biden for the student debt, then you're falling for the Republican party's bullshit.

[-] BMatthew@lemmy.world -2 points 1 year ago

When Biden had the White House, Congress, and Senate, many of us expected some legislation on abortion, prison reform, etc that never happened, but maybe if we vote again they will do something. Also, blocking a ceasefire and continuing to punish Cuba isn’t something I can support.

The Biden Administration

You're right, not every problem has been solved. But the alternative is a fascist asshole.

I am absolutely in favor of more progressive reforms. I voted for Bernie in the primaries. But I won't split the vote and act as a spoiler. I won't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

We cannot afford this. The next vote needs to very clearly show that anything is better, because it is. As others have said, voting is not about picking who you approve of, but who you'd rather negotiate with. Trump and those like him cannot be negotiated with.

Sorry, I’m 45 and I have been promised WMDs and everything else. We keep voting as the “other side” will start wars, kill abortion, not fix immigration, and here we are. I’m done voting for maybe. Actually do something or I’m voting Cornell West. 30 years of Lucy pulling the football and I actually want some results. Stop saying if you don’t, and start actually doing something.

Killing democracy to spite the Democrats, Bravo 👏

[-] BMatthew@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I would say democracy would be for voting and being represented by those with similar values not two slightly different neocon options. Is wanting more diplomacy and less war first mentality anti-democratic now.

[-] bus_factor@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

If Democrats are going to get anything done, their majority can't consist of an undercover Republican and a coal baron. Biden can't tell them what to vote, so he'd need a majority of people who actually agree with those policies.

This is the only link you posted referencing the student debt and it's behind a paywall.

You realize that the Supreme Court killed the student loan forgiveness program, right?

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world -2 points 1 year ago

I don’t think Ahmed Shabat cares about student loans…

[-] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Ah, I see you like jumping topics and moving goalposts. How incredibly... transparent.

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world -3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Student loan forgiveness: Biden promise to forgive $10,000 in debt remains unfulfilled. Did he forgive $10,000 in student debt to every borrower while I was jumping and moving goalposts?

Uh, but, some, Supreme Court… He made a campaign promise. Don’t make promises you can’t keep.

Edit: How ‘bout that ongoing genocide he’s funding? Let’s not talk about that.

[-] DrBob@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 year ago

This is pure disinformation.

[-] TigrisMorte@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Since Millions of People have had/ are in the process of having their student debt forgiven, don't think this is the hot take you so obviously think.

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world -4 points 1 year ago
[-] TigrisMorte@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

yes, and? He made the promises he is delivering on? Did you have a point?

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world -4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I made it. He said he would forgive $10,000 for every borrower. Broken campaign promise.

[-] TigrisMorte@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

hahahahahaha, yeah sure. Your fail is bad and you should feel bad.

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago
[-] donuts@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Please go ahead and name any other politician and I'll easily give you at least 3 reasons why they wouldn't have made any more progress on healthcare, debt relief or world peace than Biden.

I'll wait. :)
