There’s no one in the party that knows how to fix any of the problems they continue to create. Like forgiving college loans, but not changing the incentives to raise college prices. They could have allowed student loans to default, anything really. No one’s suggesting real change, just hand outs and corporate marauding.

The voting base went right along with this, “ ya forgive my loan, but leave the exploitative system for my children. “ that’s politics, fix my immediate grievances and pay no mind to the future or bad structures we build

    Well you can forgive loans with executive orders, I don't think you can change the system without an act of Congress. Our legislature is no longer functioning, it's been locked in a cold civil war since at least Trump, maybe as far back as 08.

    The last time Congress agreed on anything it was the patriot act of 2001

    They agreed on bailing out the banks in 08, which is why I picked that year. Then the tea party movement pushed us into a deadlock and we've been there ever since.
