According to the NYT article[0] “about five million borrowers are in default” which means like 1.5% of the population is about to have 15% of their wages garnished. Seems pretty intense.

I didn’t mean to cause a stir here, and for that I’m sorry. I voted my whole life, and I considered myself a civic person. I ran for office in rural KY because I was so enamored with Bernie Sanders. I held my nose and voted for Kamala last time even though I told myself I would never vote for a Dem again. I’m jaded, I’m angry, and it appears I’m likely wrong about my decision. Thanks (to everyone) for their replies. Again, sorry for getting some folks riled up. I really don’t want to cause a stir here.
i know the system sucks. i know it’s unfair. nevertheless, voting remains one avenue of the fight to send a message. one avenue to say to them “at least TRY to be better.” please don’t abdicate it willingly.
