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.

    Not true at all, still polling at 5% and will get at least that in the general.

    Not surprised someone who thinks a walking corpse like Fetterman is a better option would be so ignorant.

      Damn man, he didn’t say you were stupid, he just said he disagreed with you. Don’t need to sling mud for a different opinion.

        He did insult someone who has likely accomplished 1000x more with his life, Dr. West. So no, I’m not the one slinging mud here.

          Someone saying a public figure with little experience in politics is doing poorly at their third party run is not mudslinging.

          This is one of the many reasons that third parties aren’t taken seriously. If party members clutch their pearls at critical observations of their candidate, they don’t stand a chance in hell.

          Besides, Greens are anti science sensationalists. Or have they admitted fault yet on being anti nuclear, anti GMO, ambivalent on vaccines, and entertaining pseudoscience like wifi causing cancer? I don’t need Republican lite, grifting populists.

            Except he does have political experience and had been involved in many campaigns. You just won’t bother to learn or even read his campaign website.

            The greens change like any other party depending on leadership. Go read their website and see that you’re mistaken on those views. Many have changed over time since I first read them over ten years ago.

              C.1. “The Green Party recognizes that there is no such thing as nuclear waste “disposal.” All six of the “low-level” nuclear waste dumps in the United States have leaked. There are no technological quick fixes that can effectively isolate nuclear waste from the biosphere for the duration of its hazardous life. Therefore, it is essential that generation of additional nuclear wastes be stopped.”

              This is completely and utterly incorrect:

              https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breeder_reactor#:~:text=With increased concerns about nuclear,them to more fission products.

              We have had a technology since the 60s that can reprocess nuclear waste back into fuel. The screeching and fear mongering of anti science sensationalists has been a roadblock in developing these on large scale. The policy of the Green Party fucking literally leads to more nuclear waste than we would have otherwise.

              That alone is enough for me to view the Green Party as a bunch of anti science idiots standing in the way of actual progress. But wait, there’s more!

              “The Green Party supports a wide range of health care services, including conventional medicine, as well as the teaching, funding and practice of complementary, integrative and licensed alternative health care approaches.”

              Fucking lmao. What a fucking joke.

              These are the issues I brought up, and the platform on them only confirms to me that Greens should be voted against at every opportunity. It’s a blessing that they’re usually as ineffective as they are impotent.

              So hey, thanks for sharing their website and platform. You’ve convinced me that they’re every bit as insane as I thought, and unless they make significant changes, I need to vote against them at every opportunity.

                I have good news for you then:

                https://www.cornelwest2024.com/

                Dr. West announced he is running independent so go check out his website.

                Once again, the Green party, like all parties, change with the leadership.

                I disagree on those issues and will be supporting the green whenever possible as they are the lesser evil to the Democrats and Republicans.

                  Bruh 😎 it’s literally people who have a direct personal relationship with West and who have been some of his most outspoken supporters showing how much of a damn fool West is for this campaign.

                  Bro you one dumb buggah. You should just keep your 👄 shut.

      Folks, I give to you the anti reality views of the Green Party in real time!

              Enby is essentially an equivalent to boys/girls, and some nonbinary people like the term while others do not. I hadn’t realized there was mild controversy on it, I was just using it because I wanted to be inclusive and memeing but not formal. Since there isn’t a consensus and some people dislike it, I’ll go back and edit my comment.

              I suspect you don’t actually care about any of this since you’ve unironically used “submissive cuck” as an insult, but it’s good information for anyone else who ends up reading this comment chain.

                You’ve got some real thinking to do. Nonbinary people aren’t hurting you or anyone. I don’t care what people want to call themselves.
