    EDIT: I have now had a chance to see Biden’s televised statement. I understand he plans to switch modes and use the Higher Education Act to wipe away student debt. I take back what I said, that’s at least still trying to fight for us, although I think he could still go further, like reducing interest rates to zero.

    He should be dropping interest rates to zero. If this is his idea of a saving grace when his original promise didn’t pan out, he’s got another thing coming. This is a joke that makes it seem like he expected this outcome and didn’t really have a problem with it.

    When will these motherfuckers actually fight for us?

      Imagine if politicians actually kept campaign promises. I’m with you - these people are elected to represent us, why the fuck are they rolling over instead of fighting?

    • They have no incentive to fight. Republicans have become a party of misanthropic genocidal christian nationalist zealots, Democrats need only do literally nothing and they’re better than the opposition. Just look at how both Hillary and Biden were marketed - “we’re not Trump!”
