      Lashing out against all Americans is misguided. I didn’t vote for Trump. You gonna yell at me too? Maybe show some empathy for those of us affected rather than talking trash to a group of people who are now disadvantaged by these recent SC decisions. Especially the one about discrimination.

          I absolutely defended her and rallied folks to vote in that election. I live in Missouri, though, which means we are constantly outnumbered. I tried, though.

          Advice for you: drop the internet virtue signaling and assumptive behavior.

      More of us voted for her than for him. But the system we use is broken.

      yeah, I bet the millions of Americans who voted Democrat and then had their votes functionally overturned by the archaic electoral college are just thrilled that student loan forgiveness was blocked

      get a grip dude

    Blatant politics from the Supreme Court. The states had no standing to appear before the court on a federal issue. Kagan dissent was the ruling that should have been.

    I do not get how these 6 states were determined to have standing in the first place? Isn’t the whole US justice system predicated on the fact that you need to experience direct or indirect harm, be an actually involved party for you to be able to sue? They’re federal loans, so federal money, where does their standing come from?
