    They think young people won’t find out about it in the next ~1 month until the midterm elections?

    I can't wait to see what libs in places like r/politics say about this. What will be the trending narrative? Could it be as laughable as "He's still better than Trump and he tried." ???

    Edit

    "Prime the pump" - I invented that. Here's my comment in an r/politics thread...

    Biden Admin changes eligibility requirements, millions no longer qualify for student loan relief

    I'm a socialist and I'm disgusted but entirely unsurprised by this.

    How will you guys excuse this and try to get people to "Vote" for the dems. Could it be as laughable as “He’s still better than Trump and he tried.” ??? Because that's dog shit.

        I disabled comments so I wouldn't also get those comments massively downvoted. Libs love going into sub-thread rabbit holes and downvoting everything. And if you have too many comments going down fast in the downvote sinkholes in r/politics - you get the fucking site message: You've been doing that too often. Wait 13 minutes.

        Libs really, really, really buzz like hornets when you refuse to delete your comments. It actually must get under their skin.

        Hopefully - I won't get the 13 minute block. God, libs are pathetic.

      The Biden administration has to worry about legal challenges to this because the Biden administration has decided that they won't oppose legal challenges to this, so they have to reverse their plan.

      This is only a specific type of loan that inpacts 4 million people. Still 10’s of millions will qualify for the forgiveness.

      "4 million people can get absolutely fucked" :amerikkka-clap:

        When I found the thread - it was nearly brand new. I was going to remind them that the dems could have passed laws but I decided to wasn't worth hearing the same old excuses for the 1,000,001st time. "But Manchin...", "But Sinema...", "But the filibuster..." or my fave - "You don't understand how politics works." Also - who knows what the GOP justices might do to cripple or even kill Biden's executive order.

      It seems you're a big, stupid dum dum who doesn't know how politics works™

        Mea culpa. I am a dum dum, I do not know how politics works™, and I should be even more ashamed than I already am.

        I am going to mend my ways by downloading every episode of The West Wing. This weekend I will watch them at 200% speed, and get minimal sleep so I can begin the difficult process of reprogramming my brain for how politics works™.

        Ninja edit: Shame on me. Download? I'm going to spend $90 to purchase the authorized DVDs at Amazon.

          No, that's too fast, you gotta watch at 0.1x to really internalize the reality of gradual progress

      I think the changes to the income based repayment (govt pays the interest going forward) was bigger news then student loan forgiveness. Since that effects all current debt holders, as well as current + future students. So 4 million people not getting the loan forgiveness is bad but that's a reduction to the smaller part of the changes.

        That's entirely subject to the whims of the current administration.
