    How about a much more leftist Biden for the rest of his first term, and then we'll see if people will vote for him?

      Biden is working hard on bringing student loan relief which has been repeatedly obstructed by right wing institutions.

        There is no reason for SCOTUS to rule on this issue. It has nothing to do with them. They have no army, they are not legislative or executive. There is no actual rule that says we have to listen to them at all. In other words, we don't need right wing judges to tell us we can do it. We also don't need a law to say we can do it. We can just do it.

        Yeah it's just too bad that dastardly parliamentarian won't let him! It's too bad he has to do what that creature says!

        Good news though: Since the president is completely powerless, it doesn't matter who the president is!

        Also I prefer presidents that can enact their platform and keep their promises.

        The student loan relief where you can keep making minimum payments every month for the next 40 years and maybe the government will write it off if they haven't scrapped the program by then? That's also attached to your income so if you ever make more than about $30k/year you're immediately disqualified and have to pay even more than the already obscene rates?

        The student loan relief that's entirely unnecessary as Biden could literally delete 95% of student loan debt with a stroke of his pen? And only became a conversation because he got rid of the moratorium on payments during covid?

        Yeah, I'm positively vibrating to go cast my vote for him.

        It's ridiculous these students think the US government is ever gonna spend billions to relieve their debts. Who do they think they are, israel?
