    Biden completely ignored helping healthcare and tuition debt UNTIL he lost the majority. Democrats rely on letting Republicans take the heat for the conservative legislation they want to enact.

      Biden completely ignored helping healthcare and tuition debt UNTIL he lost the majority.

      Well, he was convinced that he could pass bipartisan legislation back in 2021.

      Why? Who the fuck knows. Presumably because he’d slept through the 111th United States Congressional cycle.

      They hated him because he spoke the truth.

        If he worked quickly, he wouldn’t have to pass legislation with Republican permission. Better healthcare is akin to socialism to the two main parties. Biden and Obama would rather have the garbage on the “open market”. Imagine paying $400 a month (for individual) and the best you can get is to lock emergency care to a few grand (which is better than nothing - the Democrat motto).

        Seriously, have you ever had free market insurance? It’s horrible; thankfully my job offered to pay most of the monthly cost until I found a job with better healthcare. That was a few years ago; it’s worse now. The open market is not a replacement for good healthcare; and the good work-group based healthcare is not offered with every job in the first place.

        They hated him because he spoke the truth.

        I’m sorry but I did not understand this reference. Which person are you referring to and what did this person say?
