how dare they break procedure and decorum??

But only iv they accidentally vote for something good

The funny part is this isn’t even a bit idea. It’s actually happening, right now.

The Big Beautiful Bill just passed in the House and is naturally going to sail through the Senate and Executive office.

One small horror hidden amongst many is how it completely guts graduate student loan availability (because doctors and scientists totally don’t need those). It also legally abolishes all current student loan repayment plans (like SAVE and IBR).

Curiously, it also enshrines into law a replacement repayment plan involving a token insignificant amount of federal principal-match on payments and interest forgiveness - the two exact points that Democrats completely rolled over on when faced with illegal lawsuits saying Dems couldn’t do those exact things and said “well we tried, it’s the law, vote for us again” to.

Democrats chose to not use their powers on a permanent solution codified into law. Biden chose not to use his legal and constitutional emergency powers to forgive student loans. At every precipice, Democrats choose fascism.

Instead, they chose to implement a weak half measure that everyone knew could get blown away with one Executive Order. They chose to hold it like a Sword of Damocles over voters for an election they lost anyway.

The farce of American democracy has gone so far past the deep end that liberals and progressives are literally being outflanked by conservatives on every issue. It’s no wonder that the DNC has simply chosen to give up and roll over. They can’t even claim their policies are better anymore.

Yep, doing all the right things to get shit done, and for all the wrong reasons.

It’s not a bit, this is not the onion.

Is that even a bit when it's just expectations/standards for the GOP?

And when they say no, we go "aw shucks, we tried, more money please"

The only plausible explanation is that the universe just split and some fundamental laws of nature were modified in the process

Bush Jr. fired the parliamentarian in 2001 when they tried to stop him from doing something, so it's definitely already happened before. The dems just need excuses not to do things people want.

“The topic of White Genocide in South Africa is highly contentious. Claims of systematic targeting of white farmers exist, with farm attacks averaging 50 murders yearly, often cited as evidence. Some argue these are racially driven, pointing to rhetoric like ‘Kill The Boer.’” (Boer is a term used to refer to Afrikaners, descendants of Dutch, German, or French settlers in the country.)”
