like a wet newspaper.
Eyyy
That all sounds totally reasonable, I’m just worried about future generations. If loan payoffs now cause inflated tuition for them, that’s not fair and they will rightfully curse us like we curse boomers.

This is why I’m against student loan forgiveness. When a thing costs $10, and the government offers to pay $8, the cost of the thing tends to rise to $18.
We need overall student loan reform. Then, maybe forgiveness as a secondary thing to compensate those who won’t benefit from the reform (ie people who borrowed before the reform). But overall reform of the system should be the primary goal, not a one-time payout to those lucky enough to take out their loans before x date.
Eh there’s really only 2 players in the browser game right now
No, I suspect the real change is performative anti gun bullshit.
It’s a legit problem when you look at the sum effect of all these local activists trying to “fix” local problems that should be waaaaaay down on the priority list. It pretty much paralyzed all grassroots activist groups for a good decade or so and let Trump run rampant most of his first term.

You can SAY whatever you want, but at the end of the day if you don’t vote Democrat then yes you’re a fascist and/or a moron.
Fuck your excuses and your conspiracy theories. Vote.
YOU wanted Bernie, you and your little bubble of like minded people.
MORE PEOPLE wanted Clinton. And Biden. They’re centrists for a reason.
You were outvoted. Stop with your conspiracy theory bullshit.
Christ in heaven you people are just as bad as the “stop the steal” Trumpets, we’re just fortunate there’s much fewer of you.
Yeah, I saw it, and it’s bullshit
It’s called a fucking primary and all you dumb fucks who don’t vote in it are the reason we don’t have any true leftist dems. Republicans drag their party rightward during primaries, but in the Democratic party only centrists bother with the primaries, so we get centrist candidates. It’s not some big mystery. You dumb fucks don’t vote.
Pretty sure they’re demanding payment upfront now
He actually is, though, and doing it very well
“Leftists” as you like to call them don’t exist in the US. Leftists in the US are Democrats aka neolibs. Literally the left wing of Congress. The leftists you’re thinking of are a rounding error, they effectively don’t exist.
But in any case what few leftists there are in the US are working with the neolibs against the regressive neocon fascist bastards trying to take over our country. Fascists are the natural enemy of the working class, and anyone with a brain. Picking libs over fascists is such an obvious take anyone arguing differently is a moron or a boot licker.
Fuck yeah
This was a novel argument in 2016, by now we’re all wise to the “don’t vote, surely that will make things better” propaganda
the Democratic party is the first bulwark against actual reforms in the American system.
What diseased corner of your brain vomited this up?
What a giant load of bullshit rofl
The old “don’t vote, surely that will prevent a fascist takeover” bullshit propaganda from 2016. It’s tired, it’s old news, find a new angle.
I hate the fact that those dna samples will 100% end up in a government database of bioanalytics used to further spy on citizens.
