I don't remember where I saw this, but a guy was asked how he would feel if Trump did that to his daughter and he pulls some religious bullshit "well it would be difficult, but Jesus teaches us to forgive so I'd forgive him."
...Right. But you have a rabid hatred for Biden for the awful crime of... trying to get student debt relief... Right.
This is kinda unrelated, but it reminds me of when people talk about free will not existing and then transition into a "so what you should do is X"...and I'm just there like...but I thought you just said I couldn't make a decision to do anything?
I don't know if you mean this, but charlie kirk once answered to "what would you do if somebody raped your (hypothetical nine year old) daughter?" with something like "I do have a daughter and I'd force her to deliver the baby without an abortion" in the 2024 anti-abortion wave in a jubilee video: https://youtu.be/WV29R1M25n8
If I recall correctly, that was a twitter troll account. Still very much plausible, but that instance was satire.
Unless it happened twice, lmao.
That's giving Biden far far too much credit. But I get your point.
How is that giving Biden far too much credit? He literally did that

0.85% of debt has been forgiven. It's like pointing to pot holes being fixed on a single road and calling it a National infrastructure reconstruction.
Are you for real? The Supreme Court stopped him.
At some point I hope people like you realize that the Democrats don't get things done because they don't want to get things done.
They sure enjoy getting things done for wars, genocide, corporate profits, and ICE funding though. Weird how that works.
They're always "forced" into working with Republicans to fund stuff that hurts Americans. But, for some reason are always blocked by Republicans on things that would help Americans. So odd how that works.
I'm not a fan of the Democrats, dude. But you need to read about what actually happened with the student loan forgiveness stuff before saying shit you know nothing about. Coming from someone who would have had a significant amount of his debt eliminated.
When the Republicans vote to end the current fillabuster rules to pass stuff that hurts Americans all power will be given to the Republicans. They will go nuclear and have no one to stop them short of rewriting the constitution. And you know who defends against laws that violate the Constitution? The supreme court does. The same supreme court that overturned the "superprecident" of Roe v. Wade. This will all happen before the elections in November.
When that happens; I hope you remember it and think "hmmm, maybe that guy knew what he was talking about". The Democrats could have done this when they had majority in the Senate. And now the Republicans are doing it to literally nationalize elections and fund ICE standing outside every polling station.
The only reason the Republicans haven't ended the fillabuster yet is because the Democrats literally keep passing all the shit they want. Hell, they might not even need to end the fillabuster because the Democrats are so submissive to them.
Now the Democrats could have ended the fillabuster. They could have passed the Green new deal, student loan forgiveness, and things that were actually good. Instead, they use it as an excuse to get nothing good done and try to go other routes like Biden did and got blocked by the supreme court.
Because I do know what I'm talking about. The Biden administration could have passed student loan forgiveness day one and a massive infrastructure bill. They could have had 4 years of helping the working class and solidifying their support like FDR. They didn't. They spent all their time funding a genocide instead.
When you get so use to nothing good being done you'll defend 0.85% of something being done as if it was good.
So, your argument is the Dems should throw out the rule book to show them magas what's right?
The fillabuster is a procedural rule invented by the Senate. It's not law mate.
