danhasnolifeDemocrats introduce bill to eliminate student loan interest for current borrowers
I’m sure the GOP will be happy to vote for this one in the house. They were perfectly fine with issuing much more for covid PPP loans and forgiving the loans completely. It’s so sad we have such a divided nation.
Don’t suggest such an unworkable solution. People just need to vote. That’s the first step.
It’s about systemic incentives, blindly hoping for a change in people’s behaviour is foolish at best. First past the post causes the same issues in every country it still exists today, it clear to see. That’s why most of Europe doesn’t use it, and hasn’t for a long time too. The US has an outdated democracy and we all wish you good luck in convincing others to update it.
Most people still believe that the political process is working when there is zero signs to show that it is does. It is captured and voting for either side is legitimizing their regime.
Even small gains save lives, and pretending the Democrats are identical to Republicans is disingenuous at best. Don’t be immature, vote. Direct action can happen in parallel, but wasting your influence only enables your enemies. You’d be foolish to think otherwise, and waste time arguing against your own interest.
Voting for democrats or republicans is against my interest while providing legitimacy to the two party regime.
while providing legitimacy to the two party regime.
I don’t think this matters a whole lot when the two party system is older than you are.
That’s great news for most Americans as they clearly do not share your interest. Democracy seems to be working.
Your personal next step should be convincing others you’re right, if possible, not pursuing minority rule.
