        try to cancel student debt, Republicans block it

        “Democrats just aren’t trying hard enough!”

        Democrats suspend payments while they figure out a way around the Republican blocking measures

        “This is purely performance, if they cared they’d cancel it! Both sides!”

        Republicans get majority control over Executive and both halves of the Legislature, start collecting again

        “Democrats just aren’t fighting Trump hard enough!”

        It’s amazing how Trump could literally do anything on stage and still get votes but Kamala had a single major flaw with Gaza that was STILL less unhinged than Trump’s Gaza positioning and got absolutely torn to shreds. Amazing.

          problem is Democrats are a faux savior

          might appear to fight and be on our side but at the end of the day just as bad as Republicans and do just as much harm

          case in point Democrats fought against segregation and even said it out loud but at the same time Democrats prop up a raciest fuck that did not want his kids going to desegrated schools and even got him elected later in his career

          both sides are not on the peoples but the owner class side

      I think it’s low key telegraphing “I do not care about pissing off constituents anymore because I have a firm control on all the electoral machinery now”
