I’m not a fan of the Democrats, dude. But you need to read about what actually happened with the student loan forgiveness stuff before saying shit you know clearly nothing about. Coming from someone who would have had a significant amount of his debt eliminated.
When the Republicans vote to end the current fillabuster rules to pass stuff that hurts Americans all power will be given to the Republicans. They will go nuclear and have no one to stop them short of rewriting the constitution. And you know who defends against laws that violate the Constitution? The supreme court does. The same supreme court that overturned the “superprecident” of Roe v. Wade. This will all happen before the elections in November.
When that happens; I hope you remember it and think “hmmm, maybe that guy knew what he was talking about”. The Democrats could have done this when they had majority in the Senate. And now the Republicans are doing it to literally nationalize elections and fund ICE standing outside every polling station.
The only reason the Republicans haven’t ended the fillabuster yet is because the Democrats literally keep passing all the shit they want. Hell, they might not even need to end the fillabuster because the Democrats are so submissive to them.
Now the Democrats could have ended the fillabuster. They could have passed the Green new deal, student loan forgiveness, and things that were actually good. Instead, they use it as an excuse to get nothing good done and try to go other routes like Biden did and got blocked by the supreme court.
Because I do know what I’m talking about. The Biden administration could have passed student loan forgiveness day one and a massive infrastructure bill. They could have had 4 years of helping the working class and solidifying their support like FDR. They didn’t. They spent all their time funding a genocide instead.
When you get so use to nothing good being done you’ll defend 0.85% of something being done as if it was 100%.
What the fuck are you even talking about, the student loan forgiveness stuff has NOTHING to do with the filibuster.
I’m not defending shit, you literally have no fucking idea how this country works, so you might want to sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up and let the adults talk.
You realize Biden did an executive order for student loans because he couldn’t get the votes in Congress right? This is what the supreme court blocked.
Removing the filibuster rule (something they CAN do with a 51 vote majority) would have made it possible to pass laws with a simple majority of 51 votes. They had 53 Democrats sitting in the Senate and a majority in the House when Biden took office.
It’s funny that you needed this explained to you to understand why I was talking about the filibuster. You are so uneducated that you couldn’t even understand what I was talking about. So instead of using your brain you instead concluded “what does this have to do with student debt? Am I stupid? No! It must be him!”
Here, you might need to watch this while the adults talk.
You’ve lost the plot, you literally blamed the student loan forgiveness stuff on Biden. Go back up and look for yourself.
Wait that’s too generous. Just moving the goalposts.
Biden attempted to forgive $20k through Congress, and they shot it down.
His Executive Order was complete forgiveness, so it was much better anyway.
So you’re blaming Biden for the Senate not using the filibuster to forgive 20% of student loans, but then mad at Biden for not doing enough for doing an E.O. to forgive ALL OF IT after that failed?
And nothing to say about the people and groups who fought that tooth and nail, bringing in entities like MOHELA who stated themselves they wanted nothing to do with it, so they could claim standing.
Do you see how you are stuck going in a circle making an excuse for no progress being made? Well, Biden tried but he got blocked by the supreme court. Well, Biden tried but he didn’t have enough votes. Well, Biden tried but pushing the Senate Democrats to end the filibuster is bad for future politics. We have to “work with the Republicans”. What would happen if the Republicans had a 51 vote majority? Like, how old are you? Are you a gen Z new to this dance of nothing being done the Democrats do? If so, I forgive you a bit more. But if you’re over 33 and saying this shit. Aren’t you tired of defending mediocre failures of presidents like Obama and Biden?
You’re constantly stuck in a cycle of reasoning to yourself why good things are not possible.
I don’t judge politician’s based on what they TRY to do. I judge politician’s by RESULTS. Do you see how incredibly weak and useless Biden was as a President? No one with a functioning brain thought the executive order wouldn’t be blocked. Hell, Bidens brain was barely functioning and he even knew it would be blocked. That’s why he did it.
He did it exactly for people like you to point at later to point to TRYING instead of results. It’s why you can’t just admit that 0.85% of student loans being forgiven is essentially nothing. You can’t look at RESULTS because there are none.
The entire point of the presidency is to LEAD the party. Look at Trump. He’s an awful fucking president in terms of policy and results. But he is able to whip actual votes.
If the president can’t whip votes within the Senate to get his legislation passed he is useless. The legislation is nothing more than a carrot on a stick for voters. Every Democrat president will TRY to do something and will always fail to get any meaningful results. Giving Biden credit for TRYING is useless. It’s exactly what a Democrat president is meant to do. Fail to pass policy that actually helps people.
It’s been the entire purpose of the party since the rise of neoliberalism.
Eh, I have dyslexia and trust my autocorrect too much. But I do know what it’s actually referring to and how it can be removed in the Senate. I’ll take misspelling a word I don’t commonly type over being ignorant of how it works to block progressive laws from being passed.
If I’m wrong about something other than a spelling feel free to point it out.

Nothing to say about the corrupt Supreme Court.
No, this is on Biden.

So, your argument is the Dems should throw out the rule book to show them magas what’s right?
The fillabuster is a procedural rule invented by the Senate. It’s not law mate.
You can’t even fucking spell the word, but sure you know so much about it

It has nothing to do with what happened with Biden’s student loan forgiveness
