Here's a Fun Fact for Millennials. Joe Biden was the main person behind the student loan Debt crisis your entire lives. Mainstream media doesn't bring this up but here's his career of systematically destroying student loan protections.
In 1990, it was easier to discharge student loan debt in bankruptcy. But Biden was the chief sponsor of the Crime Control Act, which lengthened the waiting period before a student loan borrower could file for bankruptcy.
In 1997, a federal panel appointed by President Clinton recommended reversing some of the newer bankruptcy restrictions for student loans, but Biden did not sign on to this recommendation.
In 1998, Biden supported a change in the bankruptcy code that created an “undue hardship” standard for federal student loans, making it significantly more difficult for borrowers to discharge their federal student loans in bankruptcy. Biden continued to oppose efforts to loosen bankruptcy restrictions on student loans through 2001.
In 2005, Biden supported a change in the bankruptcy code that made it much more difficult to discharge private student loan debt in bankruptcy by also applying the “undue hardship” standard. Prior to then, private student loans were not treated much differently than other forms of consumer debt in bankruptcy. Following this change, private student loans started rapidly expanding across college campuses.

We need a candidate that inspires the turnout we need and expands the electorate (almost half the country doesn't vote). Not only because it will help us win the presidency, but it will help democratic candidates all the way down the ballot to the local level.

We need a leader of a movement. Joe isn’t leading.
