Feels like something my wife and I signed up for ages ago and haven't seen a penny. Not that I find it at all surprising, but it feels like it got pretty close to actually happening...

If you aren't from the US, how was your higher education experience?

this is what happens when you vote for biden. he pretends to support leftist policies to win your vote, and then immediately backstabs you and avoids doing what he promised. we're still waiting on $2k checks as well.

If there were a progressive candidate in the general election I would've voted for them ๐Ÿคท Believe me I didn't vote for Biden with much hope for anything changing for the better in the country.

green party exists. also you could've voted for someone other than biden in the primary.

First of all, they specifically said general election. You're making an assumption that they voted Biden in the primary.
Second, a vote for the green party was basically a vote for Trump in the last 2 general elections.
Third, in reference to your comment slightly higher up on the thread, Biden did what he could to cancel 20k in student debt. The reason it hasn't happened is 100% due to republican lawsuits.
But you just go ahead and keep feeling betrayed.
