    You do realise that if more people would have voted for democrats, student loan loan forgivness would have been granted?

    But yeah, a society without any social safety net, without rights for minorities, with a stupid state religion and 1000 other horrible things is just as bad as people who in the best case change things and worst case don’t make the US worse.

      Oh come on. They would do what they always fucking do. They’d find just enough no votes.

        Then vote them out in the next primaries or unionize and strike. You have more power than you think.

        No I can’t. But you can’t prove that they wouldn’t either.

        With more democrats DC could be a state for example (Biden approves of that), abortian access could be written in law and student loans could be partially forgiven.
        But unless you vote, we will never know.

        What I know is that Biden DID something about student loans though. For example there is a new repayment plan that does not allow any interest and therefore allows to actually pay off your student loans.
        But yeah, that’s probably norhing acording to you.

      Shit, if more people voted in the primaries Bernie would have had a stronger hand to negotiate policy if not having been the nominee either time.

      But these fucksticks have the gall to wonder why people who aren’t them are not voting the way they would for them.

      Millennials and Gen Z could be dominating the primary process and yet underperform their share of the overall population, let alone the share they could easily take up in the democratic party if they didn’t have to be dragged kicking and screaming to mark some squares on a ballot.
