Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Passed student debt relief. You: "He didn't want to do it!!!"
Blocked by court. You: "see he didn't want to do it!!!"
Passes new bill. Continues to work on other ways to do it too. You: "see he never wanted to do it!! No real effort!!"
Unbelievable.
Biden does weakest method to do debt relief, then ignores it once courts block it
see he wanted to! - - dems not understanding why people don't want more right wing dems in the party
He literally wrote new bills to get around the court block. Several afaik, at least one went through and some like above he won't finish in time.
Not really but keep saying that.
He was also more than happy to start payments back up as a compromise with gop that also got nothing in return.
But yeah he totally was doing it

Keep going through mental gymnastics to say but but but Biden bad.
Yes following the laws that should have already discharged that debt big win for him...
What are you even saying? Do you mean that as two sentences?
Iirc the problem the court found was the relief was too broad, they said it had to be based on more individual criteria. So he worked on more bills doing exactly that. So it's not "following the [same] law".
I think I'm out, you are willfully ignoring things just to say but but but but but but but Biden bad.
The debts he's actually discharged are from laws that have been on the books for years.
Again he's done any of the stronger methods since only trying the heros act powers.
Amazing how that's always the response when shit like this is pointed out.
If you keep getting these responses after you willfully ignore information, yeah you should take a look in the mirror and do some reflection. Why do I bother, ciao.
Pointing out what has and hasn't been done is ignoring information now?
Yeah, what's really frustrating is that I'm sure a lot of Biden supporters honestly understand how much of a complete and total failure his administration was (because like how could you not), but they will gaslight insult and alienate everyone and let the whole fucking country burn to the ground before they ever once admit it
Well yeah if you did it before the election (hell even before the primary) you were just a dirty trump supporter. Then it was you couldn't do it because it would hurt Kamala even though the entire point she replaced him was because of how poorly he was doing.
Biden drug his feet as long as possible on doing anything then only made on single token the gesture because he knew the court would instantly undo it and then he could pretend he tried (a court he never supported reforming in any meaningful way, not coincidentally).
If he actually gave a shit he could have ordered the debt discharged before courts had any opportunity to involve themselves, or could have at least tried multiple different orders (like how Trump was willing to do with his travel bans), but the fact is Biden never actually wanted to deal with student debt because he worked most of his career to build this system and thinks it's a good way to keep young people from getting too uppity.
That you think that's how it works really shows me who I'm talking with. You have no idea how it works.
