    Old man forgets that he was complicit in everything he says was wrong for the past four decades.

        He voted to increase loans and grants that made college ever more expensive for decades, and then in the aughts, sponsored the bill to make student debt non-dischargeable even in bankruptcy, effectively handcuffing generations past and future as well to the truckload of bullshit they are fed to get them into mountains of debt and then ensuring they are forever chained to it. https://www.congress.gov/116/meeting/house/111100/documents/HHRG-116-JU08-20201202-SD007.pdf

        Decades in the US government anyone is going to have lots of awful things they did, and I’m not going to argue it’s his worst but it’s one of the most crippling to anyone trying to better themselves and has destroyed decades of millions of Americans lives.

          Didn’t he also help sponsor/write the Patriot Act? He literally helped out fascists with that one if so. Hard to keep track/memory of all the corruption over there.

        I’m no political analyst so I don’t know what he did … what I do know is what he didn’t do, namely to actually do something significant against the growing oligarchy that he is talking about.

          I also know nothing and want to talk about my feeling based opinions. Let’s start a club.
