It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Then: A promise to cancel the debt.
Now: A proposal for slightly less odious repayment plans. The chuds are probably going to make sure it never happens.
no more half measures walter
Just make the damn loans bankruptible
After spending so much time and effort to make them impossible to discharge through bankruptcy? Why would Biden do that?
Because
Not much to say except: you voted for a GOP majority in the House of Representatives. You have no one to blame but yourself.
My bad. I should've dropped all of my classes and dedicated my entire waking life to motivating people to vote for Democrats in one of the most conservative parts of the country.
You're absolutely right. I, personally,
d so hard that I single-handedly made Joe Biden unable to wield any power.
Ahahaha you really think they voted for republicans? This is a communist website you dingus. We hate Biden because he's just as bad as Trump.
I've personally voted for biden 5 times, just because I wanted to get that dang Cheeto out - And I'm not even an American!
Riddle me this: the president is a dem, but shit happening is somehow still not his fault
How many record breaking voter turnouts must the Democrats have before they do something?
It's wild that every failure by the Democratic Party is considered a failure of its voters. Didn't Trump already do student loan forgiveness for certain Veterans, which proves that the President is in fact capable of removing student loans from people in a legal way? Also, Biden can, under already existing legal frameworks, litterally order drone strikes on american citizens, so I really fucking doubt that Biden is suddenly incapable of saying "I'm removing all student loans from borrowers by the power vested in me by virtue of the US Air Force.
I didn't vote for anyone, I'm a monarchist
USA should just admit it's a failed experiment and accept king William III as it's rightful ruler
The rightful emperors of the US (And protectors of mexico) are the heirs of the house of Norton.
Its always the same excuse. Why should the Democrats be owned the vote of the people? Does god ordain them to rule?
As if it makes a difference. We've had a D super majority in California for fucking years with little to show for it. I mean we have like the world's fifth of sixth largest economy, the means to make life changing improvements in the material conditions for fucking millions of people, yet we can't even get a working high speed rail system online, among many, many other things, including shit that is right on the Democratic Party platform. Universal health care? Go fuck yourself. Free community college? Go fuck yourself. Student debt forgiveness? Go fuck yourself.
Go fuck yourself
No actually, I think you'll find it was you who did that. Stop voting in Republicans, asshole
Biden could eliminate most student debt with literally a stroke of the pen, and chooses not to.
I live in DC

Canceling student loan debt does not require a Dem majority in the House. Biden has the ability, right now, this very second, to cancel all of the debt. Let that sink in. Biden has the power to cancel the debt and hasn't. I'll say that one more time so it's clear to you. Joe Biden can cancel all of the student loan debt today and won't. Do you understand that? He can, and won't.
