    Ooh, a few months without payments, I’m sure that’s incredibly helpful to people paying off their student loans over the course of decades. Thank you, Biden, for not fundamentally changing anything so I could go back to brunch in peace.

      A few months? It was 3 years, and that was an insane benefit to everyone suffering under these loans.

      There is a Russian saying that doesn’t translate to well, but basically says, “If they give, you take. If they hit, you run”.

      Yeah he’s a moronic dem, but don’t act like this hasn’t been helpful.

        You’re right, but acknowledging that the democrats have actually helped a lot of people, are objectively better than the republicans, and that voting blue actually does get positive results would undermine the anti US propaganda narrative I’m trying to spread

          Straight lying and spreading misinformation when it’s useless will just get us seen as untrustworthy. There’s no need to misrepresent the situation, it’s already as bad as is.

          Acknowledging that your enemy made a good move is not the end of the world, and at the end of the day this was a measure that greatly affected and benefited the working class and proletariat.

          Who cares that a democrat did it? Use the rope they give you against them. So why bite the hand that’s giving you a handout?

            Because the Empire still benefits from not biting the hand with how hopelessly propagandized this nation’s first-class citizens are.

              What? I think you misunderstood me. I’m saying the people shouldn’t fight back against this one, because hell, at least it would’ve impacted the working class positively.

              Also I don’t think the nations first class citizens are the ones taking out student loans.
