While you are 100% correct, the Dems could definitely fight much harder to get what they claim they want. My son, and his friends, all felt betrayed when Biden's college loan forgiveness program was shot down, and they just said "Oh well," and dropped the subject, rather than fight for another way. They felt they had been lied to for their vote, and when they were told they couldn't have loan forgiveness just before the 2024 election, you can see why they weren't real thrilled to be voting for the guy who wouldn't help them, but would gladly help Netanyahu commit genocide.
If only the Dems were as committed to forcing their agenda through as they are to having one of their ancient, old school, neo-liberal losers as president. That seems to be all they really care about.
I don't totally disagree with your premise, but the fact is that they didn't just say oh well and drop the subject. They proceeded to use other statutory authority and forgave a shitload of loans, even after the incredibly stupid scotus ruling. They tried the big thing, got shot down, and then tried a bunch of little things that worked for a lot of people. Bidens biggest mistake there was respecting a SCOTUS decision, which shouldnt hold any weight until we remove the traitors currently sitting on the court.
