Blame the supreme Court and the assholes that brought the challenge to the supreme Court.
Key members of the progressive caucus, moderate progressivss like Ro Khanna even, were calling on Biden to expand the court with liberals.
Leftist voices, even socdem mags like Jacobin were calling for him to find alternative avenues.
Biden could have canceled student loans if he'd wanted to. He chose not to.
Hasn't Biden been on the judiciary committee since the 80s? Didn't he vote a bunch of the current bench out of committee rather than blocking them, like McConnell has done?
Famously he pushed through Clarence Thomas despite the extremely credible sexual harassments claims from Anita Hill.
He tried to "apologize" to her in 2020 IIRC as a publicity stunt but she didn't find it satisfactory.
They killed it dead as soon as they decided it was going to be Biden. Remember when Brandon was at the bottom of the polls at the begining of primary season and they had to drop the "sexy grandpa" and switch to "cool cars and aviators"?
Biden coming in with a strong 4th. Mayo Pete up there with a sizzling second place and The Klob's not looking too shabby in 3rd place either. And in 1st we have a commercial break no time left sorry stay tuned
Lol, lmao even
The President when SCOTUS says don't genocide native Americans: "John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it."
The President when the supreme Court says to keep students in debt-slavery: "Oh no, my hands are tied!"
It's the same good-cop-bad-cop theater that always placates libs. Meanwhile Trump publicly questioned the legitimacy of judges any time they didn't demonstrate loyalty.
The DNC doesn't want to fix this, they want to make a show of looking like they tried, but we're stopped by higher forces. Rule of law is sacrosanct when fucking over the working class.
The challenge that was made possible because of the Democrats and the Biden admin's intentional incompetence? They don't want to forgive student debt anymore than the Republicans do. Democrats are are just in the unfortunate position of playing the good cop and having a voting base that wants stuff like student debt forgiveness.
Jesus fucking Christ. It's NEVER smol bean bidens fault is it?
#vote
oh shit oh fuck i tried to
but "Supreme Court" wasn't listed on the ballot? wtf do i do my mom's going to be home in an hour and she is going to be PISSED about all my debt and lack of reproductive rights
oh, you didn't want to be saddled with a lifetime of debt? you should've thought about that at 17 when every adult in your life was pressuring you to take those loans!
I blame everyone with any power, because it's a complete systemic failure going back decades, like everything else is.
I do blame them. Now what? Oh right, nothing.
If only Biden could have done something about the courts! Like pack them or something :thonk:
