At this point, neither party seems terribly intent on changing anything (“nothing will fundamentally change”), so naked virtue signaling is all that’s on offer.

You could stop after think
The most important thing is what Biden said, so here is what he said in January, just before the special election, AFTER Trump had signed the bill with $600 checks and those checks were going out:
Come on. Everyone of the following articles was written AFTER the stimulus with $600 was already passed and the money was going out. They were clearly promising $2,000 checks as the closing pitch for the Georgia election. If what they meant when they said “Put us all in power, and we’ll give you $2,000 checks” was…
I’m gonna keep saying it: This country is too big. It needs to be split up into about six smaller countries. If not, the Constitution needs to be rewritten and the Senate must be abolished.

There is a rock solid contract in place here. He’s been trying to break it all along. Her consent to use them is required. She said no and that should have been that. He’s a dirtbag.
Now, when you say, “the masses lap it up,” do you mean to say, they SHIPlap it up? ;)
Because she did a photoshoot with a world-famous phootgrapher where you can see her nipples, she deserved to be harassed and bullied on national TV? C’mon man, do better.
“I’d personally never heard of her before this week, despite her apparently having enough power to decide whether or not low-paid workers starve.”
Sounds like someone needs their neighbor to beat the shit out of them again...
Yeah, I read the headline and had my outrage all locked and loaded and then saw it was a Catholic School and thought “oh yeah, that tracks.” Sure its still shitty, but you did CHOOSE to send your kids to Catholic School so judgement, shunning and hypocrisy are to be expected for anything outside their norms.
Oh, no! Now her kids will never learn all of those important ethics and principles only the Catholics can teach...
I mean that’s what Olivia Wilde did, so are we doing double standards now?
Well, they would still have to save money to buy a house, no one would have debt relieved then go buy a house the next day.
Which results in even less access to private and ivy league education and the benefits that brings for those who can’t afford it.
Being against college debt relief seems so short sighted, especially for the type of republican who only thinks about the “economy” Relieving student debt can only be good for the economy. People who were drowning in debt they would never pay off could fully participate, buy homes, buy other stuff, start a family, but…
I grew up poor, religious, white trash and my only way out was college. I was independent at 18 but my waitress salary was too much for me to get any aid other than student loans. I have much more than 50k in student loan dept from a public university (BA and MA) and I will never pay it off. It is a huge burden, and I…
Just going to say this... My career is in the realm of student financial assistance. It’s been 15 years. I learned from some of the best, people who have worked in such programs since before the Pell Grant existed. I know what the HEA says inside and out, and what it was meant to do. ALL STUDENT LOANS SHOULD BE…
Look, there’s a lot of strategies you can employ for student loan debt. Canceling some or all the debt, allow for bankruptcies (I mean honestly... buy a boat you can’t afford and you can get relief but buy an education and it’s FUCK YOU? How does that make sense?), or allow for refinancing just to name a few. I can’t…
