And Trump who appointed him, and the Republicans who blocked voting in his replacement.

What about a new article in the constitution?

I guess most will find this completely overkill but access to free information should be a right everybody has and no party should be able to remove that.

I understand amending the constitution of any country should be done very carefully but keeping century old constitutions is completely dumb imo. Some articles are still relevant today others are not or would seriously benefit in being updated.

Yes! I’ve been arguing that we need a sort of “digital bill of rights” for years now

If we can fix some gerrymanders it’ll go a long way also

Like the shitshow that is the maps in WI, which will head to the (now) liberal controlled state Supreme Court.

And we need to demolish lobbying. The things we could accomplish if those useless and sleazy detriments to society were all put out of their jobs permanently.

Takes 60 votes in the US Senate to beat the filibuster. Republicans will not provide the 9 votes needed.

O.o The debt relief of students wasn’t positive?

I thought that got blocked - or at least, tied up in court. I know there are ongoing initiatives, but isn’t the only “big” one, the one that was repaying funds -stolen- from borrowers? Like, refunding overpayments?

The one-time loan forgiveness grant got shut down, yes. But Biden did manage to pass another way to handle student debt relief through the form of a revamped income repayment plan, with wayyyyy more forgiving terms than previous plans, to the point that you could essentially be forgiven of your student loans.

That’s my understanding as well. The current initiative is far more limited in scope, and pays back students who were defrauded by scam schools.

We’ll have to get rid of some conservatives in congress first. Conservatives (and some neo-liberals) rake in legal bribes from ISP’s and are also champing at the bit to control all forms of communication.

Conservatism is a plague of oppression and corruption.
