Some of trumps recent remarks are keeping me up at night again. The Israel situation was keeping me up a l little bit ago and now it's this dip shit again and his psychopath cronies

    I don't struggle with reading comprehension, no. In fact, I can read my student loan repayment plan, I can read the bill I still get every month, I can read the check I still have to send out every month, and I can see that the number hasn't changed substantially during Biden's term except for the payments I've made and am still making and will be making for decades to come. I'd send you a picture of the bill I get every month but it's not written in crayon so it would probably be difficult for you

      Ah, so because your personal, individual situation did not change, that means nothing of any value was accomplished for anyone.

      The term for this is selfish.

          No, I think that the original statement:

          it's the Dem's fault as always because they have done absolutely positively nothing of value for any real person in America or the world at large

          Is objectively false.

          Highlighting the hypocrisy that other people reveal in themselves is just a bonus.

            So what; you thought coming in here, soliciting uncited lines about student debt relief, and then calling into question people's reading comprehension or altruism was a good way to convince people to vote for Democrats? or is this all just masturbation?

                If you're sick and you go to a doctor, would you be happy if he said he made you 8% cured?

                Such a fucking pedant, aren't you

                "ooOOooooOO he cancelled debt for 3.6 million people"

                Yes that is objectively good

                The problem is, like every 'good' liberal solution, it does a fraction of the good it could do.

                Obamacare, this, the joke agenda they have for addressing climate change, their 'gun bill' that did functionally nothing, and dozens of others

                Why are you so overzealous for the fucking breadcrumbs they toss us all from the loaves they stuff themselves with?

            On the one hand we have polls of how people feel about the economy and on the other hand we have smug liberals lecturing us that if we think the fact nobody has any money is bad we just need to read this think piece.

            Can't wait to see how this goes for liberals this time.

        I'm selfish? I'm not sure you understand what that word means. See, I'm not that worried about myself, but I also recongize that I'm not special. If my material conditions didn't change with some insubstantial student loan relief, then it stands to reason that many others also saw no change in their material conditions. To me, this means the policy was ineffective; if it didn't help the people it needed to help, then it wasn't much good at all, was it? It would be selfish if I claimed that my material conditions improved and that I didn't care about other's, but I didn't claim that. My issue with the "student loan relief" is that it didn't relieve student loans for everyone. There's nothing selfish about demanding enacted policy have a positive impact on everyone it sets out to help.

        I would however say that it is QUITE selfish to defend a policy that helped you or that didn't set out to help you to begin with, but didn't help everyone else that it did set out to help. I'm sure you're a rational enough human to understand that.
