Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Democrats have a messaging problem, it's confusing the way Biden is going about debt relief.
Biden should pause student debt payments and interest while he's president. He can tell the press congress needs to pass a reform bill first before payments restart.
It's a simple idea, and let the courts try an micromanage a presidency.
I think that's a great idea. Do it now and they really don't have time to scramble the eggs before November. Overall though I completly agree with you on the messaging issue.
For these borrowers, he should be insisting on sending a letter that "You personally had your debt forgiven by Joe Biden", similar to how Trump insisted he get his signature on checks he didn't write (and got it btw).
Its optics, but optics matter. Biden needs to be able to own the things that make a material difference in peoples lives. Its why shit like the infrastructure bill just elicits an eye roll. Repairing a bridge five years from now is important, but its not gonna make a difference this November.
B-b-but he promised he would restart payments to the GOP if they cooperated and passed a budget. Even if they don't stick to their word - we have to. Otherwise we would just be deplorables.
🤣 😭
