(I'm not nit-picking you, just building off what you said)
I was eligible for the original forgiveness plan that got cock-blocked, and I was rightfully angry after having that dream smashed. The difference between me and "someone I know IRL who I will not name" is that I'm well aware of where to place the correct blame (hint: not Biden).
Thus far, I have slipped through the additional forgiveness cracks. Am I salty about that? Not in the slightest. I'm in a decent enough position that resuming payments wasn't a huge hardship, but some people are and have since qualified for the watered-down forgiveness plans. Good for them (and I mean that).
But yeah, there are definitely some people blaming the guy who fucking tried to blanket forgive their debt and radio silent on the party they vote for that was responsible for smothering that plan in its crib.
The problem is where they place the blame. I have repeatedly been told by people here on Lemmy that Biden promised student loan forgiveness and he didn't deliver, ignoring the fact that SCOTUS, who can block anything he passes, blocked his student loan forgiveness plan.
True. I added an additional sentence to my comment right before I saw your reply which is right there with you.
I can't speak for all of those, but I'm sure you've noticed the same pattern that I have among a handful of accounts . I'd guess a big chunk of those "people" part of the same "Biden bad; don't vote" campaign.
Biden choose the most controversial way of accomplishing the debt relief plan and has refused to pursue the plan outlined by legal scholars even after his plan failed source. Considering that Biden has long been talking out both sides of his mouth, see his stance on Israel at the moment for a contemporary example, it would appear that he does not want to give the actual relief promised.
