I've said it before and I'll say it again, vote both of them out.

Ted Cruz (R) is a cosponsor, and is the only sponsor that campaigns against student debt relief, and is a weasel that loves to sneak things in when no one is looking.

Yeah, hence why I said both, as in both parties

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

I probably should have provided context. Of the two Democratic and two Republican sponsors, Cruz (R) is the one is actively campaigning against student debt relief in the press.

Also, of the people that voted for tanking Biden’s debt relief plan, only 3 were democrats. Tester, Manchin, and Sinema. The latter two are famously out of step with their party.

All in all, the Democratic Party has a track record of supporting student debt relief, and the Republican Party has a track record of opposing it. Also, of the people sneaking anti debt relief language in this bill, odd are is was the big anti-debt relief tea party republican.

A vote for neither of them is a vote for trump. The two party system needs to be changed.

Which will never happen while we vote for either side
