I don’t know what the deal is with pulling this program now (although someone else said it was actually a way to block Trump from doing something worse), but he literally spent all four years trying to get through student loan forgiveness. His major plan was blocked by SCOTUS and he’s been blocked by other judges every step of the way.
And the fact that you don’t know that speaks much more about you than it does about him.
I have no love for Biden. I keep saying I hate that he’s been one of the best presidents of my nearly 50-year lifetime because that just shows the low the bar is. But he still did clear that bar on occasion and trying to do student loan forgiveness is one of them.
He can’t just make commands from on high and they get implemented, no questions asked. As Paddzr suggested, this is part of the reason why Trump won. People think the president is a dictator, which is why they elected a man promising to be a dictator.
I’m not so certain he was genuine in wanting to get that done, or at least to the extent. He’s one of the reasons student debt is so hard to discharge, and played a role in manufacturing the current crisis.
That’s not what I said. I said I’m not convinced how genuine he was in wanting to get it done. You can still do something you don’t genuinely want to do; that’s what half-assing something looks like.

He was literally doing it. I’m not sure how much more “genuine” you can be.

I don’t really care if someone tries to do the right thing for the wrong reason.
Sure, neither do I, but optics matter in politics.
