I don't get how libs can tolerate being taken for granted like this. They're not being mature or practical - they're accepting mistreatment by an establishment sworn to serve them.

Trump and his supporters aren't better, but at least he's telling them what they want to hear. He at least made sure to get checks out to people and had his signature stamped on them.

I dunno, at least there's a strategy there. And Biden has had four fucking years and he's done nothing to get people motivated to vote or even register to vote. Not even going into his participation in genocide, it's just a lack of strategy to the point of self-sabotage.

And the entire Democratic party is complicit in all of it. It's like they want to lose, because all I'm hearing are about how bad trump is/was. And it's like, I was fucking there. And after three years, all they can offer is to give him a verbal reprimand and coverage on every major news network, speech, and social media posting.

It's just mind-blowing to think of the wasted time and energy on the part of the US political system.

    Uh, no there weren't.

    The closest thing to a step was the most watered down means tested partial student loan forgiveness for some, which got held up and the Admin didn't fight for. Not sure if it ever went through.

    The rest of that stuff - nothing

      (it didn't, and student loan repayments have started again)

          Some student loans did get relief - people who signed up for the public service loan forgiveness program 10 years ago. Biden people are celebrating that deal that was made back in 2007 under an entirely different, Republican administration.
