Kassi Posted August 25, 2022 Posted August 25, 2022 Friendly reminder that AOC voted against the CARES Act which lets the president pause student loans. In case anyone needed a reason to hate that ***** like I do
Kassi Posted August 25, 2022 Posted August 25, 2022 Just realized that the next presidential election will be between the most transformative president since the 60s and either a former president whose sole achievement is a tax cut for the rich OR a governor playing dress-up in his ads and bragging about his sole accomplishment (banning drag queens). Wonder what my bestie @ClashAndBurn thinks about that.
publikcitizen Posted August 25, 2022 Posted August 25, 2022 I’m starting to become cautiously optimistic that democrats can retain a narrow house majority. They just have to keep up with the abortion messaging, the gas price going down, etc. A lot can happen in the next two months or so. So hopefully maga gop will keep continuing to dig their hole.

rihannabiggestfan Posted August 25, 2022 Posted August 25, 2022 Pretty awful last 48 hours for the corrupt insider trader Nancy Pelosi and family
Harrier Posted August 25, 2022 Posted August 25, 2022 Biden's low approval ratings have had a positive impact honestly. They're actually delivering some stuff & they're seeing a turnaround in his numbers. Shocker & republicans got arrogant and underestimated Roe v Wade's negative impact for them Things are looking surprisingly positive for the dems in the midterms, I hope that sticks for the next 2 months

But it sounds like you’re conceding that Biden would win a general in 2024 Glad to see you finally come around

But I think it's highly possible that Biden loses due to the structural challenges that inherently favor Republicans. Reminder that Biden only won by 43k votes across 3 states. Which is the narrowest margin of any candidate since George W. Bush won by the margin of 535 votes and a SCOTUS ruling in 2000. That does not exactly inspire confidence. You can tout his popular vote win all you want, but in the end all that is meaningless.
ClashAndBurn Posted August 25, 2022 Posted August 25, 2022 The EPA case might lean towards SCOTUS blocking student debt relief getting blocked anyway. Seems to be what the neoliberals are hoping for so that Biden doesn't actually help anyone, but avoids political blowback for failing to live up to a campaign promise if it's "out of his hands."

Communion Posted August 25, 2022 Posted August 25, 2022 The way that debt cancelleation via executive order went from literally politically impossible and a non-starter to most of DC to forcibly happening in the span of 3 years truly objectively destroys those "the concept of the Overton window isn't real" liberals so badly Biden bent the knee and ***** we're coming for the next one soon too.

All it would take is for an individual to sue on behalf of the student loan servicers who would be losing money as a result of this, and the current SCOTUS would probably rule in their favor. That and blue collar workers are pissed about "gender studies majors" getting assistance, so...

Literally no one’s hoping that happens The main reason to consider the possibility is so that it gets framed appropriately as a concern for the midterms and drives voters out to the polls. We were blindsided by Roe ruling, blindsided by the EPA ruling, and now we have to be proactive. If there’s a chance of reversal, then we NEED a solid Dem legislature to bridge the gap like with the EPA thing.

The main challenge is finding someone who could claim damages from such relief but then also what harmed the EPA was that there was no legal precedent that defined carbon emissions as pollution. Like Clash said though, most of the liberals fear mongering over this are secretly hoping to wish it into existance.

Not the anarchist Walmart corporate executive being part of the "it wasn't an executive order!!!" crowd too We may not have gotten $50k but the emotional thrush yall have been going through and political propaganda overtime has been worth every penny
Communion Posted August 25, 2022 Posted August 25, 2022 "actually existing legislation" The affluent partisan Dem hacks and sycophants with their privileged bullshit who scream "take a civics class" now are trying to convince everyone that the Higher Education Act of 1965 somehow no longer exists and is imaginary. The people who spend days of their lives "clapbacking" and "spilling political tea" not understanding what executive authority is.
