"the enemy within" - Lemmy.World

Walk in with a to do list??? She is in office now and did shit for us for 4 years. Yeah thats gonna change lol
I think you have to adjust your expectations of politics in America. By your standards no one has done shit.
Biden promised no student debt as a way to get into office and then didn’t follow through. Brings it back when its election time but yeah my expectations are the problem here…lol
Biden has done some good with student debt, starting a couple years ago. He would have done more but was blocked by Republican lawsuits and the Republican supreme court. Don’t let perfect stand in the way of good.
Biden knew it wouldn’t pass thats the point. Hes been in office for long enough to know how these things work. He still promised it!

Heads up:

A plan isn’t a promise. It’s just a proposal to enact policy.

Whey one rewrites a narrative in this way, accusing him of having made a “promise” and then breaking it- one is essentially creating a boogeyman that allows them to show him in a light that favors a clearly biased agenda.

A three-part plan delivers on President Biden’s promise to cancel $10,000 of student debt for low- to middle-income borrowers President Biden believes

But don’t worry his plan is going to succeed this time! Lol also why does this only come up during an election. If you guys are too dumb to understand that Biden is just using you people as votes I can’t help you. I see right through the BS specially after 4 years!

Millions still await Biden's promise of student loan debt forgiveness

Again, there is no record that I am aware of where Biden ever said “I promise… [THING].”

You’re creating a straw man by purposefully misinterpreting and misrepresenting the difference between a proposed policy and a promise.

And this will remain true regardless of how many you tube videos you post of people calling it a “promise.” This is a poor argument. You really should abandon it.

He ran his campaign on that promise and didn’t go through with it cause once he was in office he didnt need you anymore. Until the next elections and now they dangle the carrot again.

And here we are 2024 still not student debt cancellation but this time it will happen guys lol.

Lastly of course the word “dumb” hurts your feelings

Again. It wasn’t a promise. It was an initiative. It was a plan to enact policy. All politicians propose policy. This is not abnormal. He never promised, nor did he guarantee results. He simply said he intended to do what he can to refuse the debt.

It was also very publicly blocked by conservatives.

Stop making it into something it isn’t.

The difference is you are ok with mediocracy. Im not, if you run a campaign on a promise you pull through. Its like a job interview you lie about your qualifications and get the job. I want that guy fired, you are ok with it.

Again… it wasn’t a promise. How many times does this need to be made clear to you? And it’s not like a job interview where he lied because he didn’t lie.

Do you seriously need the concept of what presidents and lawmakers do explained to you?

They don’t promise anything. Ever. Becasue that isn’t how this works.

You’re hell-bent on this agenda to frame him as a liar using this as an example where there are probably a shit ton of better examples where he was proven to have lied.

This is bad faith.

I have explained this to you, and you continue to side-step the point in favor of continuing on with your rhetoric.

I won’t entertain this further.

Mediocracy is not ok make all the excuses you want. The fact is biden or harris will never get this done. They will dangle it in your face ever election.

Okay… I’d wish you luck getting Trump elected, but I’d be lying. Either way-

I’ve no patience for this anymore.
