      Oh fuck off with that shit. He tried to forgive 10 to 20k and it didnt work because the supreme court are a bunch of sociopaths and most of the stuff that would even have a chance of fixing the system would have to be done by congress.

        Yeah, I mean the reality we need to not be lazy fuckers and rely on the president to fix this issue. These structural issues only get changed by our personal political actions. Call your representatives, donate time and/or money to political campaigns and organizations you belive in, find out ways to get involved. Some person or organization out there right now is probably trying to achieve something you think would make this place better to live. Stand with them. Do something, do anything, just dont bitch and be cynical online about how nothing is can ever be done. Does that attitude help you get anything done in your personal life?

          The presidential system is incompatible with the state of American education. Most people believe the president has lots of power when he really doesn’t. There really needs to an education campaign letting people know Congress is invested with the power of creating laws.

          Way to gaslight him back and diminish the fact that he seems to be the only one trying his best to patch up what appears to be an utterly broken system. He isn’t a god emperor and cannot unilaterally enact laws on his own. Put the blame on congress where it is due.

      Same. Stuff like this is about headlines and making lists of ‘accomplishments’ to point to later, but they never affect any real change.
