It’s not belittling genocide opposition. It’s belittling those who hold democracy ransom over a single issue that they don’t understand, and weren’t even aware was happening for the last several decades.

Compared to the $1.7 trillion student loan debt crisis he was key in creating? Actually yes. When it comes to future students who have to take on massive amounts of debt, he’s also doing nothing there.

Maybe you’re satisfied with biden shitting all over your face and then wiping away a bit with one finger, but most people aren’t. Nobody is mad that he’s not perfect, they’re mad that he did active harm and then does barely anything to fix the problems that he himself has created.

Relieving literally 10% of that debt during his presidency so far is pretty frickin big

Causing a massive problem and then chipping away at maybe 10% of what some people have had to endure from it while not addressing the continued existence of this problem for people in the future is not big at all actually. This isn’t problem solving.

Soon we’ll get the “buying votes” after the Gaza issues. While I think the administration is doing extra-terrible on that front, this was in motion way before all that bad PR.

He’s certainly it bombing hamas, but he’s getting all the credit for that.

He really finds lovely configurations for the deck chairs on the Titanic.

These payments are flashy, but do nothing to remedy the current predatory student loan system or the rising costs of academia.

Or how I’d put it: One needs to apply first aid when dealing with a gun shot wound. You don’t just try to dig the bullet out while still on the sidewalk. Pressure, call for help, get a bunch of people involved, then you can deal with the problem in a better way.

It’s steps in the right direction that I’d hope will put on closer to having a higher education system closer to the majority of the EU.

Unfortunately we have to get passed the GQP first before we can get to that point.

Right, instead he has applied a 100% tariff on electric vehicles coming from the country making the most electric vehicles out of anyone and has applied a 50% tariff on solar panels from that very same country.
