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!

Yep. Congress gave the U.S. Secretary of Education the right to do it. But the terrorist party and their illegitimate puppets in SCOTUS decided that, no, a Constitutional law passed by Congress was not valid because... reasons. Can't let those "libs" ever enact something that is popular, fair, legal, and beneficial...
So yes, everyone should blame SCOTUS and the GOP because they are solely responsible for putting us all in this horrible position.

ok, so vote the bastards out!
oh wait, you cant - electoral college doesnt care about your votes and the supreme court doesnt either

Let me shill for the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, which aims to bypass the Electoral College and elect the president by popular vote. It just passed in Minnesota, and is 75% of the way to its goal.
In Michigan it's currently in the Upper Legislature committee, so if you're in the state contact your state senator to support it

Well, yeah. But it's good to see GOP deflection on this issue isn't working
I don't know that they're even trying. They don't give a shit what poor young people think, and their asshole supporters parrot that "they don't deserve it" and "they should've known better before they took the loan"... completely ignorant of the massive economic crisis the nation is facing because of it.

Everyone should pile the blame on the GOP and current SCOTUS. The only ones not blaming are the ones obviously loving the idea of watching this country go to shit aka their voterbase.

Young people blame the people who should be blamed. More news at 11.
(Hey millies and zoomers, you came in clutch during the last two elections. Think you can keep at it?)

Not only are conservatives to blame for the unforgiven student debt, they're to blame for the cost being so high in the first place.
Many people may not know why college tuition has risen, but it can be attributed to the decrease in state funding for higher education during the 1980s and 1990s. This resulted in higher tuition costs when the Gen X generation began attending college. As costs continued to increase, Millennials faced significant debt when they pursued higher education.

So happy to hear this. It’s frustrating how much gets blamed on the wrong people.
I don't really see who the hell else they should blame? Jeff who always eats the last cookie? Steve who never makes a new pot of coffee after taking the last of it?
Somehow this is the dems fault for not railroading republicans to pass their legislation.
Not the republicans for voting against it, but the dems for not trying hard enough.
Literally people in these comments posting dem voting records as some sort of gotcha as if McConnel and Co somehow have a better record

Good. Finally something those assholes didn't somehow get people to believe was democrat's fault
I had 20k I’d saved up during the pandemic to pay off my loans. That was going to go towards my first house but it appears the party of family values wants otherwise.
Well see you just need to win that $900 Million Powerball and the Republicans will do whatever you tell them.
This just in: People guilty of thing are accused of doing the thing.
No shit. It's their fault. SCOTUS and GOP should be blamed.
That's like saying "Millennials think the sky is blue."
I'd say they're accurate.
Fortunately for the GOP they are so far ahead with the young voter demographic that they can afford a little blowback from the youths on this.
