The stance puts Kennedy — who’s mounting long shot bid to unseat President Joe Biden as the Democratic standard bearer in 2024 — out of step with most of his party.

    I suppose incompetence to deliver a policy that is immune to republican assault is a more generous interpretation of the events than labeling him a liar. I should have asked is he a liar or merely incompetent? Failure to deliver is the same nonetheless.

      Wow… That’s just nuts. I’m sorry, but seriously. With “I vow to kill any bill that a Democrat proposes” McConnell, lock step Republicans, and gerrymandering that ensures they don’t lose their states, it’s all Biden’s fault. Uh huh.

        He made a promise and did it through executive action, which failed. To be fair he has time to remedy the situation so we’ll see on that front. But are we just gonna blame the republicans for everything? It sounds as if he has no agency and is controlled by the republicans. What would it take for you to think this failure to deliver, if materialized, is on Biden?

      What student debt forgiveness policy would be ‘immune to Republican assault’ in both the Republican-led house and the ultra-conservative SCOTUS? Let’s hear your ideas.
