According to the NYT article[0] "about five million borrowers are in default" which means like 1.5% of the population is about to have 15% of their wages garnished. Seems pretty intense.

I resent this comment. I don't vote. I'm not lazy. I'm not the worst among them. And I do not lack responsibility. Do you think we're going to vote our way out of this mess? I don't vote because I don't believe voting does anything, and those in power have seen to that.

    I don’t care if you resent it, it’s a fact.

    Of course voting makes a difference if it’s done as a group. How the hell do you think Republicans get into power so many times? Because their people fucking vote.

    Your idleness has bestowed upon your fellow citizens the worst government they could have. Your selfishness because you can’t get the individual you want or the one you don’t won’t give you want you want, so you throw the toys from the cot.

    Damn straight you lack responsibility. There is only one way to get the change you piss and moan about…vote strongly for someone advocating change in primaries, then vote that person in. If that fails, then you back the liberal who won’t turn you into a fascist dictatorship and you go again with the primary. But that’s it, that’s the only solution, with your system, you have.

    Those in power have seen to it now, because you failed your national duty. You’re the worst of them, someone who stands for nothing but themselves.

    Fuck your resentment.

    If Kamala had "won", the election would've been turned over. Just like if Bush had won, we wouldn't be wondering why the win was given to him instead of Gore.

    Kamala wasn't allowed to win. Democrats throw elections when it isn't their turn. The constant back and forth is a blame-game psyop, or didn't you see Obama chuckling it up at Trump's inauguration?

    You ever wonder why candidates only speak to one side of the isle and curtail the other? Don't they want to grow their base? No, division is power and they all know it. The only vote is us v them.

    It's time for the 1% to reap more wealth, so, they're doing now what they can easily apologize for in 4 years with petty slaps on the wrist.

    same as it ever was. How about we take more Trump policies to court after they've happened and the damage is done, while he ransacks another city? They're all complicit, stop drinking the kool aid.

    He was impeached before he even took office again and still got allowed to run, lmao. Who's giving the free passes? It ain't me! It ain't you! Democrats were in power. What's the deal?

    What is this word salad?

    If I can follow it and I’m not sure if I can, I don’t think it’s as insightful as you think it is.

    Are you fucking stupid?

    Democrats were in power

    We have 3 branches of government. One that takes decades to change the makeup of. One that is split in two and tends to favor the number of states.

    Any one of those branches can fight the other two and stop progress. The one that is split i two fights itself.

    Currently, all 4 groups are controlled by Republicans. Two years ago, only 2 of the 4 were controlled by Democrats. Those are not equivalent sets of "in power".

    2 of the 4 and giving every possible pass available to give, including siding with Israel. 50% of the power and 10% of the effort doesn't work.

    Nice made up numbers. With 90% of the effort and 50% of the power, they can only get 10% of the results.

    If you care about issues like Israel, then you need to support the candidates that support your view.
