    Yes, because pardoning student loans and keeping Obamacare strong was abandoning the working class.

    And how many people outside of the political class even know who Liz Cheney is?

    Maybe instead of holding your nose, you could have been using both hands to get Harris votes?

      Biden did fuck-all for student loans. Every single loan forgiven was one that was always supposed to have been forgiven under the terms that existed at the time they were taken out. Biden followed the existing law. Granted, that’s better than can be said about the fascist saboteurs who illegally stonewalled it before, but it’s still the bare minimum!

      Ditto for “keeping ObamaRomneycare strong.” First of all, “keeping” isn’t a change for the better, by definition. Second, the ACA is extremely mediocre and enshrines a bunch of insurance middlemen that should’ve been eliminated entirely.

      Meanwhile, where’s the support for unions? Where’s the minimum wage increase? Where’s the Wall Street reform? Where’s the anything that would actually move the needle for workers? It was completely absent!

      WTF is wrong with you, that you think Biden should be hailed as some kind of champion for doing the bare fucking minimum? I expect better, and you should too.

      Maybe instead of holding your nose, you could have been using both hands to get Harris votes?

      Maybe you should fuck off with the uncivil personal attacks.

        Yet somehow we went 4 years before (and will go another 4 years) without any loans being forgiven. I don’t get how your argument supports your Biden Bad narrative. I understand that he wasn’t able to forgive more loans without breaking the law. Is that what you want, a president that breaks the law to uphold his campaign promises? Because, if so, I’ve got great news for you!

          It doesn’t! Of course it doesn’t! Because I’m not making a “Biden bad” narrative in the first place!

          Biden mostly competently executed the law (with the glaring exception of prosecuting Trump). He faithfully upheld the status quo. Kamala would certainly do the same. Almost none of that is “bad.”

          But what I’m saying is that being “not bad” clearly wasn’t enough! You can’t deny that, at least – the election results prove it. It is now a historical fact, not an opinion, that in order to actually win, the Democrats needed to do more than the bare minimum of not being bad. Why is that so fucking hard to get the people in this thread to understand?!
