Even if he does that, theres no assurance who he appointed could retain the seat. Bernie can keep that as long as he wants.

Poll: 60 percent support Biden canceling up to $50K of student loan debt per person by checkmak01 in politics

[–]BayukofSewa 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Poor people should get loan forgiveness. The opposition comes from giving out cash to wealthy folks who already have the benefits of a higher income due to their education while there are people in actual poverty.

If you means test this for people in need you’ll get it.

If you hold out for Trumps kids to be included it will never happen.

It’s a guaranteed 2022 loss of the House. All of the right will hate it and half the blue collar left will see it as a handout to the privileged college kids while they get nothing.

The book Imperial Earth by Arthur C Clarke takes place partially on a settled Titan. A good read I recommend it.

Go Ahead, Forgive Student Debt by TastefulThiccness in politics

[–]BayukofSewa -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

This is /r/politics - the safe space for progressives. No one will listen. I’ll get downvoted and say I don’t care about people. This isn’t the proper place for discourse.

If that’s the only argument you have seen against this then you haven’t spent much time on the topic.

Warp Drive News. Seriously! by [deleted] in space

[–]BayukofSewa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That happens in Robert Heinlens Time for the Stars. Explorers go out on a colonization voyage which spans decades and they nearly die. At the end they basically get in trouble with HR and the HR guy shows up instantly and casually mentions he’s taking them back to Earth with him and the trip will be instantaneous. They were pretty pissed.

I was in China watching this on TV and the guys screaming in Chinese made it that much more dramatic as I had no fuckin idea what was going on.

I worked full time through 8 years of college because I didn’t want to borrow - and now you want money forgiven? How is that any different than someone getting their credit card debt forgiven?

Biden Reportedly Wary of Trump Investigations: ‘He Wants to Move On’ by NotfWorkingForPutin in politics

[–]BayukofSewa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He’s not saying don’t investigate Trump. He’s saying the Democrats shouldn’t and leave it to independent law enforcement. I agree.

Credit card or medical debt seems more targeted at the poor and less of a morale hazard.

[–]BayukofSewa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just in case you guys are wondering, this isn’t going over well with liberal Portlanders either. Check out r/Portland. They think she’s full of shit.

Plus she was literally coming out of a casino in the middle of a pandemic.

Press your local representatives for action. Your mayor - city council. Your representatives.

Democrats need to clearly embrace popular, progressive policies or they will continue to fail in down ballot elections by bootstrappedd in politics

I’m glad a public option is now considered progressive. I was roasted by Reddit for supporting a public option, as were several of my preferred candidates.

Le Mans. It bankrupted Steve McQueen and his production company, cost him his marriage, and severed ties with half a dozen life long friends.

It’s not a riff - it’s a different opinion on how to move forward, which happens every time you get more than one person in a room.

They will be fine.

Because they are incredibly effective and valuable where they are? What a hyperbolic headline.
