    Biden got you a day in court for Student Loan debt, which is as far as he, personally could take you.

    To go any further on either option requires Congress. Biden has gotten numerous things through Congress that are mind-boggling considering the hostile environment.

    I understand you’re sad about not achieving policy victories but it would behoove you to learn how the US government actually functions, and maybe even to participate in it.

      Biden could just pick a different mechanism (i.e. not the emergency declaration) and do student loan forgiveness again.

      He could just ignore the court’s ruling. Seems like a very low priority thing to start a constitutional crisis for, but he could do it if he wanted to.

      I don’t care about student loan forgiveness that much. I don’t even have student loans. It’s just indictive of everything else he’s failed on.

      I’m not going to suck his dick because he got Medicare drug prices negotiation (on five specific drugs starting a year or two from now) or a $7500 tax credit on an EV I still can’t afford even with a $7500 tax credit or a $1400 stimulus check that he said would be $2000 and Trump indicated he wanted to do as well or an infrastructure bill that I can’t really specifically point to anything it’s doing.

      Here is what a normal, not political, not terminally online person thinks: Biden was elected and nothing in my life has gotten better. Everything seems more expensive.
