    They were only able to because of the way he went about it. He could have simply ordered the Department of Education to immediately forgive the loans and erase any record of the debt, and dared the SCOTUS to order him to create new debts (which he could simply ignore).

      Part of not being a dictator is not acting like it, you aren’t going to find a good person acting that way

        You’re not going to find a good person who puts following rules written to benefit the capitalist class above freeing people from crippling debt.

          Maybe you should hang around left wingers more

          Being an evil person to get rid of evil just makes another evil person, you can believe you are good until you die but can you believe the person who comes after you will be?

          MLK jr and Gandhi bettered life for their people without violence

            uhhh, maybe you should?

            left wingers have zero respect for laws and will make the world better and fairer by any means necessary.

            as a leftist if I somehow got control of the state I would immediately order for the rounding up and execution of every single person in the country who is either a corporate executive for a top-250 corporation or in possession of assets worth 100 million or more.

            because that would be the most efficient way of rapidly reducing the risk of the wealthy wresting back control.

            and it would be totally ethical

            as for gandhi and MLK, well, india is a fascist dictatorship and, well, how are things looking for black people in the US?
