Well, here’s one example:

Biden's total student debt relief passes $183 billion, after he forgives another 150,000 borrowers

Since Biden took office, he has forgiven debt for more than 5 million federal student loan borrowers.

That shouldn’t be controversial, at least not around here. That’s a solid fucking win.

No it doesn’t end all genocide, save the whales, or ensure anything much in the huge scope of All Things, but it was a long battle won that made a fair few ‘regular’ people’s lives measurably better and it’s a win. We need to be able to see and appreciate them. There’s a lot more in living memory too.

Democrats need to get a new marketing department. The fact that most people don't know about this is a systemic failure.

Its all part of the Murdoch media and billionaire’s takeover of the news sewers.

But he wasn't PERFECT! Genocide Joe! Both sides are the same!

He didn't meaningfully solve the problem. These problems just keep getting worse and unless they're solved they will continue to. This is a fake attempt to convince people to believe that problems are being addressed when they are really not and we're not falling for it anymore. Joe Biden was a failure of a president, that's just a fact. If you doubt it ask who's the president today and why

[–] Windex007@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It pretty meaningfully solved a specific problem for some people?

[–] fluffykittycat@slrpnk.net -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The overall problem is not only.unsolved buy keeps getting worse

[–] Windex007@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Imperfect and temporary relief is still a valuable endeavor.

[–] Donkter@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's funny I've had the "...but not quite" in my vocabulary for years and I never realized where it might be from.

[–] Windex007@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

There is a specific brand of terminally online "if it isn't perfect it isn't worth doing" contributes-nothing-naysayer that you see all over the internet, and every time I see them I think of this poem.

Their knee perk reactions are so automatic that I genuinely do not think a single thing could be done to thier satisfaction.

[–] fluffykittycat@slrpnk.net -3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's not "imperfect", the problems keep getting worse and these token efforts are to stop real progress

[–] Windex007@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Ah so it's worse than imperfect in your mind. It's intentionally malicious.

The Supreme Court stopped him

[–] sturmblast@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Someone doesnt know much about recent history

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

He didn't meaningfully solve the problem.

For those 5 million people he did. And it bears mentioning many of them were due some form of debt relief under trump, who specifically discontinued student loan relief programs. That’s a fix and a win.

Do we all get ponies and 40 acres? No. But if you can’t see the obvious win and right direction in this, you must be trying.

Pretty sure AIPAC is behind the Dems losing over and over. Russia and AIPAC effectively own the GOP too. They're using that "captured both sides" approach.

One party are literal terrorists and the other party is mystified that the public choose the terrorists.

Everything tends to make more sense when viewed as:

Israeli demands > donor demands > civility liberalism > their own constituents > the country > their minority constituents > minority non-constituents > muslims

Winning means rampant corruption.
