Republicans torpedoing this is political stupidity... it's basically a free win for Biden where he looks like he did a good thing and doesn't actually need to allocate the funds.
It's not stupid if it stops Biden from looking good. The same thing happened during the negotiations for Obamacare.
Except that Biden looks great - far more young voters will be peeved over the GOP blocking this than would have actually benefitted from the policy. "Biden tried to forgive your loans but the GOP just had to block it in the courts" - it might make Biden look somewhat incompetent but it mostly just makes Republicans look like they hate young people who are struggling.
Well, the ones who are actually paying attention will. The GOP is throwing everything the legally can to try to remain in power and get their orange dude elected to push the christofashism.
The Biden team needs to take their gloves off and go full out blasting all the shit the GOP is doing on every possible platform and media available with lawyers ready to intercept any GOP sue to silence them.
Also, get Kyle Clark to moderate the presidential debate, the guy is a GOAT https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPREMgbVL/
If voters pay attention it's a no brainer. However the stability of American hegemony is entirely reliant on people who have absolutely no clue.
He would look even better if it went through and people felt the relief. It's a win-bigger win for Biden, Republicans chose smaller win.
