If you’re one of the tens of millions of hardworking people wondering why your $10K or $20K student loan forgiveness is on hold, here’s why.
A GOP plaintiff—who himself had $48K in PPP loans forgiven—is suing because he only got only $10K—not $20K—in student loan forgiveness.🤦🏽♂️ So he’s suing to burn it all down. The GOP hypocrisy and war on working people is truly a thing to behold.
And this is why we can’t have nice things. Smh.

@QasimRashid @PeachMcD @nicerobot my definition of centrism is “it’s not an ideology, it’s a tactic for getting political power”
if you define your ideals as “somewhere in the middle” then you have no ideals; moderation may be a virtue but by itself, it always supports the status quo
@PeachMcD @alexch @QasimRashid
Centrist is the rational policies that balance worker, society, business, and government priorities, acknowledging that government is important and requires compromise while requiring constraints on its breadth and it embraces the complexities of the system. It believes that both extremes are dangerous and fights against them. e.g. To consider markets w/o labor is partisan manipulation. All policies must consider the inherent pluralities of the issues.
@nicerobot @PeachMcD @QasimRashid
that sounds nice but in nearly every practical case there are WAY more than two extremes
and centrists usually (definitionally?) assume the fallacy that messy moral compromises are always preferable to clear, elegant, effective policies that must actually pick a winner between competing interests— which ends up meaning moneyed interests usually get their way at the expense of everyone else’s welfare and ideals
