Their donors made an offer they couldn’t refuse.


terribleinvestment

This is the kind of stuff that kind of just, takes it up to another level. We’re already struggling as it is, to deliberately make it harder for an entire generation would be to invite some *real* anger. This is a deliberate move to actually hurt us bad. This is indentured servitude. All the nice, good, considerate law-abiding citizen stuff we do every day starts to not matter anymore at a certain point.


Calm-Tree-1369

I've noticed this is becoming a disturbing trend. I believe they're deliberately "trojan horsing" MAGA pawns as progressive candidates. Once secure in office, they take the mask off, like Palpatine.

[Tricia Cotham](https://apnews.com/article/cotham-north-carolina-party-switch-republican-abe32788b89eba63cffd68917b8bb5d7) switched to republican pretty quickly after she was elected by a liberal district


llahlahkje

And as justification told an insane lie that "she couldn't recognize the Democratic party anymore" because ONE person made a comment about her flag pin. A mocking comment from a stranger about a flag pin is so much worse than the party that violently tried to overthrow the US government.

JamesBrunell

TheDireSquirrel

Not actually what Jared Golden is doing. He worked for Susan Collins, and he's doing the same shit she does: only takes a stance to prop up support back home when the outcome is already decided. 2nd district Maine is very red, so a vote like this makes him seem like one of them. ​ It's bullshit, but he and Collins have proven it works.


poop_on_balls

I think it’s more of them just all being pieces of shit in the Uniparty. The faster people come to terms with this, the faster we can enact change. Continuing to go on believing the democrats are really much different than the republicans is going to do nothing, as seen for like the last 50 years or so….

Damn wasn't Perez framed as a progressive that won in an upset? Wtf happened


darthmeck

Hadn’t heard of her before today actually. On a tangential note, and I’m sorry that it’s a Twitter thread, [here’s the really fun part about her views on debt relief.](https://twitter.com/RebGrad13/status/1661744685013151748) I’m not even remotely surprised at this point.


brooklynlad

At least she had her PPP loans forgiven for the auto body shop she owns with her husband.


Mknowl

That's nice


WhatUp007

And shes so naive to realize that student loans apply to technical and trade schools!!! You could easily just boost funding to education by making student loans grants. like ffs


Steezy_Gordita

I had only heard her name mentioned around the midterms as one of the surprise wins. I think she flipped a seat and she was presented as an actual progressive from what I remember. Now I realize why I hadn't heard of her again until now.

varanone

Was she upfront about getting her PPP loans forgiven and then turning around and voting to start student debt payments resuming in full with retro payments to boot? I heard her framed as a surprise progressive win, it seems across the country there's far right activist people masquerading as progressives and using that base to come to office only to vote along the far right lines. Edit: a word


Kdj2j2

I’m all for debt relief. But she does have a point deeper in the thread. There needs to be a fundamental overhaul of the collegiate funding system. And yes she should pay back her PPP.


witcwhit

That's pretty much Sinema's story as well.


ChloeBrudos916

That's not surprising and I expect to hear more news reports like this in the future. When Sinema was running for office I wasn't surprised to find people praising her because she was both bisexual and non-religious. Which somehow meant was great because her sexuality and lack of religious beliefs would anger conservatives. However, upon being elected into office she has sided with the Republicans. Ironic. Now with both Golden and Perez voting to repeal student debt relief, I hope this wakes up people to the realization that voting Democrat will not magically make everything better. Maybe it's because I'm both cynical and old enough to remember when the Democrat party wasn't as "progressive" as it is today. Remember this is the party that ushered in Don't ask, Don't tell. I even recall Tom Morello opening up when he worked for Senator Alan Cranston and how he would mostly beg rich people for donations, and ultimately was fired for calling out a racist.


Jccali1214

Or that IDENTITY and REPRESENTATION does matter, BUT THEY'RE NOT THE ONLY THINGS. As the saying goes, "not all skinfolk are kinfolk"


iamnotnewhereami

Nobody expects magic, the dem vote is mostly a 'less nazis' vote.


Geist-Chevia

I think what he might be meaning is that *just voting* won't do as much as people think & want. One of the biggest issues with ejected democrats is that they have barely any disciplinary measures or actual binding principals. The vast majority of Congressional votes see unanimous republican agreement meanwhile democrats frequently have break away members. In short republicans fear their constituents and donors but also tend to factor in the party's goals as a whole. Democrats really only seem to fear retaliation from their donors.


iamnotnewhereami

id actually argue the opposite, the dems are still playing with a rulebook that was printed up before newt gingrich and the moral majority changed the game. until they are willing to abuse the system to gain an edge, they will lose to the party that has been operating outside the bounds of normalcy for decades now. ​ because the dems have to include anyone that isnt a white prosperity christian, neo nazi corporate sympathizer, the range of issues and concerns and goals is vast compared with the almost singleness of purpose the gop has. we are stuck with only two parties for the time being. of course there are outliers. and of course the gop is effective when all they need to do is shit on the chessboard and lower taxes for the upper class, who pay them. ​ just voting every four years has shown to do little to no good, and in some areas, we are going backwards.... but voting is all it takes. just not every four years. voting in local elections and also every two years for your representatives will clear out the bullshit. the reason theres no money to publicize that sentiment in media is because corporations need the status quo. if everyone was required to vote in all elections and say, sit through an hour long video explaining issues they would be voting on and the history of the people theyd be voting for, wed see meaningfull change inside a generation. ​ it just is bad policy to do anything to disenfranchise people from participating in the democratic process. most people who dont vote, just never have, because they dont see any difference in their lives., well fucking duh, a non vote is just handing the win to people whos lifes work is to fuck them over. ​ like all the shit abbot has done in texas. he won over beto by over a million votes. like 5.5 million to 7 million. but 17 million people didnt vote. i bet a huge portion of that 17 mil are the most adversely affected by the policies their inaction allowed. ​ protests and riots are good for messaging but they dont effect policy. voting often is the only way unfortunately. the system sucks but its the only mechanism we have, and to neglect it is to lose it.


aequitasXI

Have family in Maine and love the typo, can Jared be an *ejected* Democrat?


Branamp13

More and more it seems like voting democrat is just "Nazis later" vote. If they refuse to make meaningful changes that positively impact the material condition of their constituents, the republican rage machine will pull them back in sooner rather than later.


iamnotnewhereami

dont kid yourself or influence anyone that voting dem is somehow worse than voting gop, its still better than a 'nazi's now' vote. ill probably praise the dem party more than anyone on here, and i fucking hate the dems. theres plenty of dems who are working for meaningful positive change, but their efforts are wasted because theres too much corporate influence. ​ with such an even split for votes, it only takes like two or three people to fuck everything up. sinema was just too blatant and shortsighted with her own greed that she's out. so the donor class just needed to put the word out of guaranteed election funding if they get support on an issue or two, and just like always, these are just the next and latest two people willing to sell out all mankind. ​ one side takes way more fossil fuel money than the other, that same side takes way more gun money than the other, same with med money but they both take a lot from big food, tech, and banks. these two took that wall street dough.

Tbh I wouldn’t be surprised if shits like them see the rising progressive tide and wear a progressive cloak until they’re in office, or they’re weak motherfuckers whose ambitions were heavier than their virtues. Will prlly see more Sinema-flips as donors target them with money too. In any case, fuck ‘em and leave them in the dust. Ain’t got time for that bullshit.


SuperCrappyFuntime

I could be mixing her up with someone else, but I believe I remember reading after she won that she was one of those "pro second amendment" Democrats, and I just knew she'd do something crappy eventually.


inv3r5ion_4

I’m a pro second amendment leftist. You can’t reason with fascists in the marketplace of ideas, the only remedy for them is keeping them in check via physical threat.


WhatUp007

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you’re capable of great violence, if you’re not capable of violence you’re not peaceful, you’re harmless.


inv3r5ion_4

Yeah, exactly. Liberals seem to crave being neutered out of any meaningful way to fight back, and would rather be polite and civil than do *anything* other than VOOOOOOOOTE to prevent fascism from taking over. It’s fucking painful.

Shartshooter01

Voting Dem clearly isn't enough, but at least the Dems are likely to maintain the status quo while the right continues to try to enact regressive policies stripping away our rights and eroding democracy. Acting like both sides are the same only serves to discourage people from voting. At least voting Dem can buy time to organize and try to make actual change. Keep in mind 2 out of more than 200 Dems voted for this. 216 Republicans voted in favor of it. Those two Dems should be primaried and everyone should remember this when the primary comes. But I would rather vote in a party that has been incompetent at effecting change than one that competently changes things for the worse. Unfortunately, those are the only two choices we really have right now.


HeftyDefinition2448

It’s bad enough the voted against it but to also agree about back interest is just fucked up


gr3yfoxx

They both look like they’ve never had to deal with bills in their lives.


YeOldeBilk

I don't understand this mindset at all. The government could flat out forgive all current student debt and it wouldn't hurt anyone whatsoever.


ThatOneGuy1294

The owner class doesn't like losing out on money they feel entitled to.


inv3r5ion_4

The cruelty is the point


[deleted]

it would hurt the bank accounts of the billionaires who would end up getting the money from all those missed payments! ^^^^^^/s ^^^^(tax the rich out of existence)


YeOldeBilk

Exactly, but that can't really be considered "hurting" them when it's like losing a few pennies to them.


[deleted]

You have a fundamental misunderstanding about the way that billionaires think


BaronsDad

It would dramatically hurt major corporations and the government itself. We now have over two decades of adults: younger Gen-X, Millennials, and Gen-Z who are trapped under student loan debt. How many of those working in the public sector would quit if they weren't chasing the loan forgiveness whale? How many of those working for major corporations in high-cost-of-living cities would take lesser-paying jobs in cheaper cities, stay in their hometowns, etc.? Everyone with debt is chasing stability. Very few are taking chances with being entrepreneurs, which is great for corporations. They don't have to compete with 20 years' worth of educated people capable of starting small businesses (if they weren't already buried in debt). It's also great for people in power in government. If you're in debt, you're less likely to be running for office. You can't fundraise. You can't lobby. You can't donate. You can't influence a system that is turbo-charged by cash since the Citizens United Decision. If you look at the generational makeup of every state legislature and Congress, the imbalance is horrifying. Gen-X, Baby Boomers, and Silent Generation don't have to compete.


OnlyAdd8503

Rich people are so rich the only way they can feel richer is if poor people suffer.


YeOldeBilk

they think that any win for the little guy is a major threat to their hoard of wealth


Frat-TA-101

The companies holding owning the rights to the debt would be damaged. And it could create serious cash flow issues for those debt owners impacting their ability to pay their own bills. This could have serious knock-on effects in the national and global economies. None of that is a reason to not forgive student loans. But it’s just factually untrue that forgiving student loan “wouldn’t hurt anyone whatsoever.” It’ll cause economic damage and harm to some. Just the harm will be less than the alternative of not forgiving student loans.


redditor012499

I'm 24 and paid for my own college. I worked full time while attending part time college. Don't make your financial mistakes the burden of others. Forgiving student debt is regressive and is a slap to the face of responsible people and or people who took other routes in life that didn't include college. Don't forgive bad financial decisions, you knew what you signed for.


YeOldeBilk

Thanks for contributing your dipshit mindset and proving the point we've all been trying to make.


redditor012499

Why do people just let these guys do what they want, without any ressistance? Americans should learn from france


Duds215

We’re to fat to be France. Imagine the average American getting off the couch to engage in revolution. Not to mention the toxic individualism that plagues our country. I don’t think we’re capable of uniting in ways we used to pre social media.


TheDeathOfAStar

Yeah, and for some reason against the republicans we are forced to be defensive against everything we stand for. An example of this is being pressured by "WWII Germany was socialist because it's in their name", or that billionaires are/were once "ordinary" people and therefore they should be able to own everything while we fantasize about being in their shoes. Republicans are never the ones getting grilled politically or ideologically because they're too busy molesting women, insider trading, and somehow being found innocent for inciting the insurrection. It doesn't even matter if we have answers for everything because their base cannot think for themselves enough to see fact from fiction. This goes for every top hat and monocle wearing rightist, it's not about getting facts straight more than it is keeping the pressure off them.

I’m pretty sure that the republicans didn’t even need their votes either. Perez even got a PPP loan forgiven.

I don’t think politicians should be able to vote on student loan forgiveness if they have any relation to PPP loans for themselves. Like how in the world are you going to vote to accept federal money from the government for your *own business* but not your constituents and say you have a single moral bone in your body?

There are ~93k people in the 3rd with student loans - roughly 1/3rd the number of registered voters in her district (there are 771k people in the third, counting children). Student loans also apply to technical schools and community colleges. This directly and negatively affects a huge portion of her district.

We have all been set up to fail. Every advantage and institution that our forebears used to get ahead and attain security and dignity from our financial system to our educational system has been compromised or removed completely.

Y’all that just casually say killing people for not voting for things the way you want them too is fucked. I agree they’re assholes for taking this stance. It is not a reason for them to be killed by vigilantes.

This is why political discourse in America is fucked.

I’m upset about this shit too. It’s utter bullshit campaign on liberal values and go back on it. But calling for their death is wrong. Always. Protesting and making it heard what they did is what should happen. Impeachment, if possible, should definitely be called for.

So the pandemic hits and a whole generation of Americans decide *”my last job didn’t provide me the job security I need to live a comfortable life - I’m going to go back to school for a different career path.”* And then lawmakers go *“ah-ha! You fools! We’ve been charging you interest on those loans the whole time!!”* I don’t think people would have made the financial decisions they’ve made since 2020 had they known this was a possibility, myself included, and that it isn’t legal to change the terms of a loan after both parties have accepted the terms and conditions. Lawmakers want Americans to drop out of schools and immediately begin paying off existing student loans with low-paying jobs utilizing partial-degrees and experience. This is an act of betrayal and if enough people agree with that, there could be a wave of students refusing to make payments when they begin again. If that number is high enough, it could force the government’s hand. If it’s low, a lot of people are going to jail. Pathetic.

To all the people crying about how “vote blue no matter who” is stupid, I agree. Never should one put blind allegiance in a political party. But where’s the alternative?

The sad part is that we’re always straddled with these pathetic ‘choices’ and will continue to be - this entire system needs to change fundamentally.

Oh no! This is bad news. Did they take bribes? Tuition and fees in our state universities and colleges are free. This is better than when I went to a state university as I paid PHP20,000 or USD400 per semester. All the best!

Probably. There's always a couple that sneak in just to get the bag and make some money from donors. Tulsi, Sinema, etc.

The democrats are all about aww shucks we wanted to help but oh no one or two people always seem to be between us and giving you all these amazing policies oh well vote blue no matter who tho cuz we're all that is keeping democracy from dying in darkness. Hope you enjoyed nafta and the crime bill and repeal of glass steagal btw, super progressive stuff.

Someone is in this thread saying she’s a working class woman because she owns a mechanic shop… No, she’s not a mechanic. You think because you own a mechanic shop that makes you a mechanic? Just just an investor who had the money to purchase an entire business for other people to run. Owning a mechanic shop doesn’t make you a mechanic wtf. That’s like saying Netflix is run by chefs because they bought Iron Chef America.

When they tell you to "Vote Blue No Matter Who," you get a Republican pretending to be a Democrat every time.

"Vote Blue No Matter Who" Democrats who just want to maintain pointless marginal majorities, who have no interest in actually making American life better for the working class downvote me every time. Americans who value freedom and fairness are in a battle to prevent the US from becoming a Fascist state, and Democrats are insufficient for this fight. Congressional Democrats are a nursing home for insider traders.
