    People have been pussified to the bone in this country. Government keeps smacking us down and we just stay down. We need the French attitude

      Not government. Republican government.

        to be completely fair, while it’s obviously the correct choice between the two, the democratic party isn’t exactly a shining beacon of social justice either.

        Performative bad governance to prove governance as a concept is bad. But yea, republican works too.

          Was it? Ted Cruz and Jerry Moran are also cosponsors.

          I don’t know how to see who added what to a draft, but this does have bouquet of Cruz to it. If someone told be his office snuck it in, I wouldn’t be surprised.

            Obviously you didn’t read the article.

            The Debt Collective named Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), and Rep. Rick Larsen (D-Wash.) as particularly responsible for the language.

              No, I read the article and the bill.

              https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/senate-bill/1939/all-info

              Sponsor: Cantwell (D)

              Cosponsors: Cruz ®, Duckworth (D), and Moran ®

              Three of those people have a past of supporting student debt relief legislation at some point, one does not. One actively campaigns against debt relief in public. That is Ted Cruz. I’m not saying he or his aids did it, but I’d probably start there.
