Seems kind of undemocratic to ignore the demands of the people that voted for you.

He was elected on the pretense that he would cancel student loans, stop covid, fix healthcare, stop the border camps, etc. But he hasn't done any of those things.

Pretty sorry democracy the US has. Some free country should liberate them.

He's not an authoritarian, he needs the backing of Congress to do those things as well as no Supreme Court challenges on those actions. Who are you voting for in his place?

Noooo but the Supreme Court, the unelected body of ghouls wearing robes with lifetime appointments to a position that gives them the power to arbitrarily take away rights and de facto veto power over any federal policy project, but also has no mechanism for enforcing its power and is therefore literally dependent on the rest of the federal government to entertain their fascistic musings, said we can't do that!

And, as always needs to be mentioned, the entire student debt crisis is his legacy, his gift to the people, after making it illegal to discharge student loans in bankruptcy in 05.
