        I genuinely don’t give a fuck. Trump is a figurehead; the shit he’ll do is just another tuesday for my community. Need I remind you, LGBT and New Afrikan protections are getting slashed to tatters under a Democrat administration, and Biden’s just giving away the bag. So what I know seeing this? After everything else? These spineless-assed, feckless-assed, useless-assed democrats are no longer it. Get right or get left behind, that goes double for your nation. Like, liberals can either get fucking correct, or the country can fall.

        Either way, I’mma be lighting candles and celebrating, because the end of Amerika is only a good thing for the rest of the world.

          Well that’s because people like you back in 2016 removeded and moaned about Hillary causing Trump to win and allowing SCOTUS to be lost for years to come. Voting matters, and that’s what you get when you don’t vote. Even something half assed is better than the rights that are being taken away when you let Republicans gain control.

          If you want more change you need to vote during every election, every primary, and every position. Local is even worse than national. So many republicans control otherwise blue states because young people don’t take the time to vote twice a year. Many can be done by mail.

      You wouldn’t have had anywhere near this much time before payments resumed if not for dems

        Ooh, a few months without payments, I’m sure that’s incredibly helpful to people paying off their student loans over the course of decades. Thank you, Biden, for not fundamentally changing anything so I could go back to brunch in peace.

          A few months? It was 3 years, and that was an insane benefit to everyone suffering under these loans.

          There is a Russian saying that doesn’t translate to well, but basically says, “If they give, you take. If they hit, you run”.

          Yeah he’s a moronic dem, but don’t act like this hasn’t been helpful.

            You’re right, but acknowledging that the democrats have actually helped a lot of people, are objectively better than the republicans, and that voting blue actually does get positive results would undermine the anti US propaganda narrative I’m trying to spread

              Straight lying and spreading misinformation when it’s useless will just get us seen as untrustworthy. There’s no need to misrepresent the situation, it’s already as bad as is.

              Acknowledging that your enemy made a good move is not the end of the world, and at the end of the day this was a measure that greatly affected and benefited the working class and proletariat.

              Who cares that a democrat did it? Use the rope they give you against them. So why bite the hand that’s giving you a handout?

                Because the Empire still benefits from not biting the hand with how hopelessly propagandized this nation’s first-class citizens are.

                  What? I think you misunderstood me. I’m saying the people shouldn’t fight back against this one, because hell, at least it would’ve impacted the working class positively.

                  Also I don’t think the nations first class citizens are the ones taking out student loans.

                Seriously, it drives me nuts. I’m a damn socialist, but I have to live in the real world.

                And in the real world actual, literal nazis who would happily kill me for being Jewish are on one side while lukewarm liberals who don’t want to chat ge the status quo are on the other.

                I’ll take the libs over death.

                  The people who yell the loudest about nothing changing and there only being rhetoric also go for the candidates who have a lot of rhetoric and very little history or ability to do anything about it. I wish it was funny.
