The people complaining about Biden on this point are either fake grass roots actually trying to squash democratic support or their naive democrats falling for the bait from Republicans.

I don't know why folks can't see that there's very little left for Biden to try at this point.

I mean, as of monday his admin just instated a low income repayment plan where you don't have to make payments after the October payment restart if you're an individual making less than $32k/yr or married making $67k/yr household.

So there's that.

Oh, I read it. The thing is absolutely idiotic.

Edit: it literally argues that he should have implemented it in a way that wouldn't give the SC time to say it's wrong. That's fucking idiotic. That's not how it works. You think they'd be like, "oh well, can't do anything about it now." No. They'd just reinstate the fucking debt.
