wild how a one time handout of less than $2000 and then another of less than $2000 (at no time equalling the $2000 Biden promised) was the largest downward transfer of wealth in modern american history and, if they do the stupid tariff checks (i hope they do because fuck I need a new phone (mine's from 2015 and I dropped it again a few weeks ago and now it's slower and there's a purple line on it) and a down payment on a car would be great) it would, again, be more wealth transferred to working people than like literally anything the democrats have ever done since I've been alive

especially wild how, again, Biden promised $2k and then actively worked against himself to cut it down, like sure let the republicans have the record on this, I guess

p.s. nobody needs to tell me the overall calculus still had wealth flooding upwards at the same time in other ways, shit's fucked innit

Biden explicitly and specifically promised me, personally, that I would get $20k in student loan forgiveness and $10k forgived on my moms parent plus loan - as an explicit condition of being elected.

Then, despite having the constitutional authority, legal basis, and full control of the levers of material power to do so, Biden did not.

Trump had given me more than democrats ever did, especially if you include the hilarity of watching America burn and China inherit the Mandate of Heaven in real time
