Political Memes (and Politics) community when asked about each party’s Kamala’s views on genocide.
Or any recent administration, including the current one that could be contacted and complained to. Or honestly most any of the western world’s leading powers. Yes, the US is a big problem because of their supplying arms, but when it comes to the meme of blinders on, they are not the only ones who are pretending this will fix itself.
She has no policy. Everything that she believed three years ago and four years ago is out the window. She’s going to my philosophy now, in fact, I was gonna send her a MAGA hat,” Trump
Harris “I’m honored to have Dick Cheney on board.”
Me: Yeah okay you’re just going to prove his point then?
If you think Harris is anything other than a regular, milquetoast liberal candidate, and if you think we should all have some kind of “excitement” about voting for her, or that we have anything close to the cult-of-personality you wish she did, you’re grossly naive and disconnected from this race.
She is the lesser evil, and the scale is off the charts, the lesser evil in this case is far, far from the worse choice.
The lesser evil is still evil. This is why are picking between two genocidal options between both mainstream parties.
You mean these policies don’t exist?
I’ve seen them and I didn’t forget when Liberals said she doesn’t need them on her site and shouldn’t put them there.
You talking about this person?
They’re more on the prison side of the school-to-prison pipeline.
45% of American voters will vote for Trump even if every accusation against him is true. 45% of American voters will vote for Harris even if every accusation against her is true.
It stopped being about issues decades ago. It’s about ideologies.
It’s actually more like 45% of American voters will vote for Trump if every accusation against him is true, so he can say and do whatever bullshit he wants, and 45% of American voters wouldn’t vote for Harris even if every accusation against her was true, so she has to keep her promises in line with reality. You have the portion of society that is gamed by the system, and the portion of society that is aware, and those that are aware are much harder to please.
I’ll keep investing in K-12 education
The bulk of elementary education funding comes from the states. So this doesn’t mean much in practice.
One place where a federal official (like the President) would be able to help out immensely is by immediately cancelling some (or, fuck it, all) of the outstanding federally held student loan debt. This could be accomplished via the Higher Education Relief Opportunities for Students (HEROES) Act of 2003, which authorizes the secretary of the DOE to “waive or modify any statutory or regulatory provision applicable to” the Title IV loan programs “as the Secretary deems necessary” to ensure that individuals adversely affected by a Presidentially declared national emergency “are not placed in a worse position financially.”
A number of Presidential contenders promised just this back in 2020 (Warren, Sanders, even Biden himself). Sadly, Harris hedged on this pledge even back then and has not made any attempt to renew it now.
The bulk of student loans is held by private entities
This response seems like it’s missing the last few years: you’re aware that Biden’s administration has gone through multiple attempts of exactly this, right? Mostly struck down by courts as exceeding his authority.
The bulk of student loans is held by private entities
15% of student loans is underwritten by private lenders.
you’re aware that Biden’s administration has gone through multiple attempts
They’ve tried to negotiate with Republicans, fully aware Republicans won’t accept their terms.
Ideally such a thing would be a comprehensive reform created by the legislature.
But here are a bunch of successes and partial successes without Repugnicans
