Democrats tried to stop price gouging. Republicans blocked it. Democrats tried to raise minimum wage. Republicans blocked it. Democrats tried to forgive school loans much like the PPP loans to rich corporations [and grifters] were forgiven, but Republicans blocked it.
Congrats on blaming the wrong people for things not getting done.
While I agree that Democrats did more that anyone gives them credit for, part of that is they are on average just bad at talking about their wins.
Also, as far as student loans go I’m still mad about that because the way they tried to forgive them seemed designed to get blocked. By means testing it and having a while process rather than just “all government loans from the dept. of ed are forgiven” it gave republicans the ability to stall it and then block.
If he’d just done everything at once with no process then it would be done, or at least too far along for Republicans do do much but draw attention to it. If they succeeded in blocking it then people would be furious.
Instead, only certain circles even knew about the loan forgiveness, but I never expected it to actually go though because of all the means testing, because corporate Democrats do stuff like that all the time. when it comes to the economy, like Biden “reversing” some of the Trump tax cuts on corporations… to way under what it was before Trump got in the first time.
They talk about their wins all the time. What they don’t have is an entire propoganda machine like Republicans have spamming a false version of reality. When even the non strictly right wing shilling [but corporate aligned] media is ignoring it all and lending legitimacy to the right wing insanity, what do you expect to happen?
This country is filled with easily fooled morons with zero media literacy [and often a 6th grade or lower reading level] who believe whatever they’re told
