    Democrats deliver plenty but messaging is awful. Biden has canceled $138 billion in student loan debt. Billion. That’s with him using whatever executive resources he can after Supreme Court obstruction. Where’s the news articles on that? You see people on this very site saying he promised to forgive student loans and then abandoned that promise (while gleefully laughing and twirling his moustache, because he just loves being evil).

    Democrats deliver a lot more than Republicans. Republicans scuttled their own border security deal because they didn’t want to give Dems a win.

      Biden has canceled $138 billion in student loan debt.

      Biden is administering a policy going back to the Reagan Era of 20-year sunsets on student loan debts. The new debts he’s cancelled are in the billions, not the hundreds-of-billions. And this, in a pool of over $1.6T. I know a few people carrying student debts. None of them are applauding Biden right now. None of them are seeing their debts cancelled.

      Democrats deliver a lot more than Republicans.

      Democrats will tell you they delivered $800B in Medicare spending in 2023, when they just signed bills to cut physician pay by 2%/year. They publish walls of tiny-text claiming credit for everything from the Civil Rights Act to the latest private uptick in new clean energy infrastructure and get angry when you notice how the former has been gutted and the latter has nothing to do with their latest round of legislative/executive policies.

      Trump put his fucking name on the stimulus checks he sent out in 2020.

      Biden put his name on sunsets to the Child Tax Credit three years later, with some campaign promises to renew them (if Dems can retake the House AND the Senate AND Joe Manchin/Kristen Sinema don’t block anything) maybe some time in 2025.

        See, this is where a republican would go “fake news” and just continue crowing about how awesome his party is.

        A low info leftist will take what you say at face value and hate Biden.

        A normal liberal will say I’m sure that’s incorrect or misleading, because I know your agenda and you fucks always lie, but I have a real job so I can’t get bogged down in it right now.

        A Biden stan will say nothing, because they don’t exist because Democrats don’t work like that.
