One pollster sees “flashing red” signs on youth turnout as Gen Z and millennial voters, who are not satisfied with either party, could again play a decisive role in the next election.
I think people are getting to the point where they want the president to just do whatever, the courts be damned.
Like maybe if the court says that you can’t do your DACA or Clean Power Plan or student loan forgiveness you just tell the court to go fuck itself.
Or maybe if members of your own party sabotage your signature legislation you punish them.
Or maybe if you run as a guy that can get things done because you’re a deal maker that’s been in DC for a hundred years and everybody in the Senate is your friend… then actually get something done.
This is a really dangerous thing for people to want since we will most assuredly have a Republican president at some point again.
Biden has proven that he is a deal-maker by getting a LOT of shit done that frankly should not have been possible. He basically single-handedly brokered every deal made so far.
Biden got you a day in court for Student Loan debt, which is as far as he, personally could take you.
To go any further on either option requires Congress. Biden has gotten numerous things through Congress that are mind-boggling considering the hostile environment.
I understand you’re sad about not achieving policy victories but it would behoove you to learn how the US government actually functions, and maybe even to participate in it.
Biden could just pick a different mechanism (i.e. not the emergency declaration) and do student loan forgiveness again.
He could just ignore the court’s ruling. Seems like a very low priority thing to start a constitutional crisis for, but he could do it if he wanted to.
I don’t care about student loan forgiveness that much. I don’t even have student loans. It’s just indictive of everything else he’s failed on.
I’m not going to suck his dick because he got Medicare drug prices negotiation (on five specific drugs starting a year or two from now) or a $7500 tax credit on an EV I still can’t afford even with a $7500 tax credit or a $1400 stimulus check that he said would be $2000 and Trump indicated he wanted to do as well or an infrastructure bill that I can’t really specifically point to anything it’s doing.
Here is what a normal, not political, not terminally online person thinks: Biden was elected and nothing in my life has gotten better. Everything seems more expensive.

Exactly! Biden gets stuff done.™ That’s why we have free community college and no student loan debt today.

He just today forgave another $39B in student loan debt so…
And I’d argee that your last sentence is correct in that the average person has little to no understanding of how government functions.
This brings us closer to fascism. Ignoring the law to do whatever you want is a great way to collapse democracy.
