Don’t you realize President Biden has already paid for students debt in part? The Republican House and the Republican Supreme Court prevented him from doing more

Voting for the Democrats means stopping Republican fascism & the destruction of democracy & rights. It’s about stopping Trump’s tyranny & locking some of us into cages. Telling people not to vote for the Democrats is how we got Dubya who deregulated the mortgage industry that caused the crash of 08. Telling people not to vote for Democrats is how we got a corrupt Supreme Court that stopped Biden’s ability to roll back student debt. Obama was never focused on student debt. Telling people not to vote for the Democrats is how we lost Roe & voting rights. It’s why we’re in danger. Sanders supporters need to have a seat. You’re how we got Trump.

I don’t have to dig a little deeper. For starters Sanders is ignoring the amount of money Harris has raised from small donors. Over $500 million last I checked. The overwhelming amount of money raised by her campaign is small donors, not Wall Street. He also knows how we got here. Citizens United. The conservatives on the Supreme Court ripped campaign finance to shreds allowing the wealthy to donate unlimited amounts of cash. Conservatives have rigged our entire political system toward the rich. If Dems have any hope of competing they have to have to raise money from the wealthy too. And that does not change why we all should be supporting the Democrats. The Republican Party is no longer a party that believes in democracy. They will turn our country into a dictatorship. If the Dems can win back the White House & both Houses of Congress we can expand the court or indict the corrupt justices. We can roll back all the horrible corrupt decisions made by conservatives on the court including Citizens United. We don’t have time for Sanders & purity policing.

Why are you expecting Harris to go have a conversation with Sanders? Her campaign does not revolve around that man. She does not need advice from him. The fact that you brought him up at all and accused Harris & the Democrats of being in bed with Wall Street while ignoring all her small donor fundraising means you’re not engaging in reasonable debate. This is typical of Sanders supporting, expecting Democrats to bend over backwards to win you over like children. Republicans have rigged our democracy. We need to deal with that reality & stop pretending “both sides” are the same. That is typical third party nonsense that gave us two Republican Presidents put into power with cheating & who then put into power 5 corrupt Justices. We have to deal with the way the rules are now. We have to be grown ups and not keep making demands that produce zero results or results that help Republicans regain power to do more damage. Democrats do not owe Sanders or his supporters the time of day. We had 4 years of Trump and his now live with his Supreme Court Justices because you sabotage the Democratic candidate with innuendo & accusations in 2016. Enough already.
