I think one of the things that has Biden at a disadvantage is that there are Republicans who are willing to let the US default. That's almost like fighting an adversary who is not afraid to die because he fully expects to be rewarded in the hereafter. Opponents who are enthusiastically willing to die are very dangerous and unpredictable. Unlike responsible adults, Republicans are not afraid to play chicken with the country and its future.
Millions of people are about are about to start writing those 500-1,000 month student loan payment checks again.Biden lost my vote a long time ago.The pain millions will feel do to this debt limit surrender will cause him to lose a lot more imo. My political circle is large because I use to volunteer for democrats.Group texts that went out last night between my volunteer group are furious over this debt deal,especially about unexpectdly having to start student loan repayments .Most of them already said they wont be voting for or volunteering for Biden in 2024 before the debt limit surrender though.
