I haven't paid in dime on my student loans since I got them 10 years ago. gently caress em. Education is the great leveler, to gatekeep access to it, behind a paywall, is morally and civically repugnant. gently caress any institutions or parties who advocate for such practices.

Most bad policies have effects at the structural level, but this is literally sending me a monthly bill for 10% of my income. anecdotally the announcement that biden is going to resume student loan payments has broken even the most lib-brained people I know a bunch of them had twisted themselves into all kinds of knots to explain why it would never happen and seeing the blunt "you're going to pay and this is not something we're doing under duress" reasoning was like flipping a switch with a bunch of them

Biden is doing a speedrun of all the worst decisions you could make as a Democratic president. afaik there's still a ticking clock on that medicare privatization program the Biden administration is doing nothing to stop.

I know the democrat party was bad but this is on a level I genuinely cannot begin to comprehend. it’s not even like they’re actively trying to lose because even then you would still have people fighting here and there. this is an almost complete surrender on every conceivable level of government.

They need 34 states to call a convention (2/3) and 38 (3/4)to ratify amendments coming out of said convention, I believe.
