i don't have the sources handy, but apparently the "approach" to loan forgiveness that the democrats went with was the one that was a lot less tenable and more easy to be struck down. There were other parliamentary approaches they could/should have gone with (if they actually gave a shit) that were more solidly supported
yea of course they could have done quite a bit when they had power, but it's a broken system that is broken on purpose. "Oh no we can't do that because Joe fucking Lieberman exists." WELL THEN KICK HIM OUT OF THE PARTY. Fuck.
