U.S. President Joe Biden plans to announce on Wednesday that his administration has approved an additional $9 billion in student debt relief for 125,000 borrowers, the White House said.
Biden has said he will pursue new measures to provide student loan relief to Americans after the Supreme Court blocked his plan to cancel hundreds of billions of dollars in debt.
The president’s announcement, planned for 1 p.m. EDT at the White House, will bring the total approved debt cancellation by the Biden administration to $127 billion for nearly 3.6 million Americans, the White House said.
There always has been but people are afraid to vote 3rd party because of the oligarchy’s brainwashing
Simple Math = brainwashing
FPTP makes 3rd parties counterproductive.
It’s not fear. Third parties simply do not work with our system. If you want third parties to succeed, then we need to
Ideally star or approval instead of ranked, but honestly anything is better than the current shit show.
It’s not that simple. Several factors come into play.
The biggest systemic issues are the first past the post voting system and the electoral college (for president).
People who have even a simplistic understanding of how the system works and the track record for third parties know the odds are low. Those who are pragmatic will vote for Dem or Rep. In the current polarized political climate people are less likely to take a chance with a third party vote.
Also, the press mostly ignores candidates of other parties. So they aren’t as well known and thus can’t get popular enough to get traction.
If you really want more parties to have a chance, push for alternate voting systems like ranked choice, cumulative, etc.
This chart from fairvote.org compares a number of different systems based on their research.
In 2016 I voted for Gary Johnson because I thought there was really no way anyone would vote for the other two.
Gary Johnson is a fool who didn’t even act like he was seriously running for President. It looked like he drew the short straw.
Still a better choice than what we have today.
I have no idea what elements of libertarianism you like, nor why a ex-Republican for that roll in your mind, but he would have been a bad Republican, but not Trump. He had no chance so it really didn’t matter
And Jo Jorgensen in 2020!
Things I wrote in a GE sociology paper
Amen. Proud to support Dr. Cornel West and the Green party in 2024!
These people are really brainwashed, either that or it’s DNC bots downvoting you
After reading your post history, the only potential bot here is you Boris.
You think I’m Boris Johnson? Mate how did you know
