Joe Biden was the Senator most responsible for making those loans undismissible. There is plenty of blame to go around.
And that was the last thing he ever did regarding student loans. 40 years ago. Nothing since. The end. 🙄
For the record, I already acknowledged what he did as president in a response to another reply. Biden was quite a bit better as president than I thought he would be (for good historical reasons) and I give him full credit for that.
That would be relevant if Biden were currently president, and it would have been somewhat less relevant had Biden even been the Democratic nominee for president in 2024.
But Biden wasn't even on the ballot. It's almost completely irrelevant.
When people talk like this, it just reminds me of how they talked about Hillary for Trump's entire first term.
It just gives off the air of bad faith. We're talking about things that are happening right now and are relevant to millions of people. Former politicians can't be anything except a diversion.
They are a known both sideser
God forbid the Democrats ever get criticized for anything. 🙄
I see more criticism of Democrats than Republicans on this website.
Just my personal experience.
No you don't. This place is filled with articles and tens of thousands of comments criticizing the shit that Republicans are doing and Democrats are helping them achieve a lot of their goals, so why shouldn't we throw these people under the bus too? Quit treating politics like a team sport and wake up to the fact that they're working together to fuck us all over.
It's taken for granted that "Republicans are bad" is the default here. So what I only ever see here are leftists complaining about how bad the Democrats are.
LOL, is Reagan currently President? Read what I replied to before telling me if my comment is relevant.
"Yeah that makes sense, he was the 2nd worst Republican."
"Why are you bringing up someone who's no longer president? Why do you hate the guy who didn't try hard enough to fix his mistakes?"
Weird how calling someone out from a while for their actions works, but not calling someone out for their actions.
My point was that the relevance of Reagan and Biden go hand in hand. If one is relevant then they both are. We either examine the past and learn from it, or we continue to repeat the mistakes.
Exactly! Both are relevant to the topic.
