Every tweet saying "cancel student debt" has a horde of libs replying that Biden can't cancel it, and he never promised to, and he's already forgiven billions in loans, and government doesn't work that way, take a civics class, and pay your debts you entitled millennial. It's not gonna happen but it'd be pretty funny to watch them all change their tune

You know there might actually be a real reason Democrats can't do good things

But no matter how good the excuses are, people eventually notice all they're getting are excuses

i cant wait for student loan debt to be forgiven for everyone who isn't currently in college or about to go to college. gonna be cool

The people demanding their old student loans be forgiven whiplashing to FYGM will be a thing to behold.

If loans were forgiven, which they won't be.

joe will definitely kick the can down the road in august (inflation or whatever) but it will be accompanied by whatever dogshit they decide is their best and final offer.

hard not to assume that due to his involvement in making student loan debt ineligible for discharge he has a vested interest in not admitting to his culpability by effectively discharging it. that would be admitting he was wrong and there is nothing he needs to correct for.

it's too early for panic promises but we're going to see a bunch of in trouble dems campaign late on student loan forgiveness. it's not going to work and even the dems who promise it and who manage to hold on won't actually do anything about it, but it's definite "in case of polling emergency, break glass" kind of promise

Brian Kemp in Georgia is throwing out tax rebate checks, state income tax rate cuts and guns and poo poo because he is that worried about November after doing literally loving nothing for the last 3.5 years other than sabotaging the pandemic response and getting tens of thousands of his citizens killed.

Unfortunately for Biden his party is incapable of doing anything federally so he can't even make frantic last minute emergency gestures that are too little too late. They just get to talk about the possibility of them which is worse than useless.

It's a variation on the Designated Survivor protocol, the President and the Vice President remain physically separated as much as possible to avoid cross contamination if either staff is infected. Aside from certain public events and dramatic hallway walks, current protocol requires Vice President Harris to spent 23.5 hours a day in a hermetically sealed chamber so as to he ready when Biden needs her most.

when I was still on Twitter I’d ask them (politely!) and all I’d get was “lol fly away trump/Bernie troll”

I too really want to know. I get hating the left and being a liberal, but there’s something more going on that animates them so strongly

do you remember forum signatures? some places still have them and I’m fairly sure they’re completely out of fashion here but you didn’t fill out your forums sig the day you joined but after you’d absorbed some of the in group tendencies and some of those signatures would put those bios to shame. I think it’s the same sort of thing. that person has been on Twitter for 7 years and have a few thousand followers. it’s in group signaling.

Also the funnier Joe and Kamala news today is that Jill didn't want her because she had insulted Joe by stating the fact that he used to agree with segregationists.

It's somewhat of an open question as I question how people become fanatical liberals too (especially when the ideology is "no ideology"). I think a lot of it has to do with an absence of any other meaningful cultural force in your life. Those kind of forces might make you harbor beliefs, or foster strong values. In their absence, you cling on to what represents "not bad", and since the GOP are transparently and cartoonishly bad, you cling to the Democratic status quo. I suspect "stans" of vapid pop culture come about for similar reasons. You see hundreds of thousands of Sonic fan fiction pages, and people who base their entire identity on the MCU because nothing else presents itself in life, as capitalism has destroyed all community.

It's shocking, but there's people out there that are massive fans of even the most milquetoast and ineffectual Senators. I met someone once who was obsessed with Senator Sherrod Brown, to the degree that they were considering opting out of the 2020 primary if he didn't run. Then there's of course all the fun soul crushing times I had in DE, where freaks are aplenty, and you literally get Coons fanatics that do this to your friend's car.
