    H.R.4797 of 2021

    S. 4897 of 2022

    H.R. 2804 of 2018 and 2021

    H.R. 6593 of 2024 <— This one seeks to codify a program that already existed and already reduced millions of Americans debts to $0 monthly payments and greatly reduced others payments. The Biden admin as a whole forgave tens of billions of dollars of student debts and would have wiped them all out if not for conservative AGs fighting them in the courts.

    S. 1220 of 2025

    The list could go back decades if you really wanted it to. Every single one of the examples you chose there were bills introduced for. The DNC literally represents your exact views and you call them a piece of shit, this is why the country is the way it is.

      EDIT: The top of my comment here is flippant and low-effort. I can do better, but I’ll leave this up for transparancy

      And those didn’t pass because…? I’ll leave that as an exercise in understanding gaslighting to the reader.

      EDIT: Better response:
      H.R. 4797 - Severly less than what I want, and never even got to a vote
      S. 4897 - Looks like this got read twice, then abandoned
      H.R. 2804 - Still far less than what I want, and never got to a vote
      H.R. 6593 - far less than what I waned, far less than what he promised. Never went anywhere
      S. 1220 - far less than what I wanted. Never went anywhere

      Yet when it came to bombing innocent people, backing a genocide, cutting off the highly popular covid-aid programs, and a bunch of other stuff that I didn’t want, they sure were able to get that done. Weird, how they were so busy doing what I didn’t want, that they couldn’t push through what I did want.

      I admit that I stand corrected, and they did try a few bills that were almost what I wanted, they were obviously weak-effort attempts that went nowhere. But I think my ultimate point stands though: why should I be happy about that?
      /end EDIT

      Biden forgave tens of billions of dollars, but that is a far cry from what he promised, and what he promised is a far cry from actually solving the problem.

      They Dems couldn’t get these things done, but they sure were able to bomb the shit out of innocent people, fast-fund the border-wall, increase funding to the Pentagon, and bail out their rich friends.

      The DNC literally represents your exact views and you call them a piece of shit, this is why the country is the way it is.

      No, the DNC talks about these views, but when they have the chance, they never actually get them through
