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.

Promises kept!

After spending so much time and effort to make them impossible to discharge through bankruptcy? Why would Biden do that?

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

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

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.

Biden could eliminate most student debt with literally a stroke of the pen, and chooses not to.

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.
