1/ I don’t understand how establishment Democrats can fail to realize how much appreciation and loyalty would be created by 45 million people having their college loan debts canceled.

3/ Then imagine people being told that they don’t have to worry about sending their kids to college anymore because there will be free tuition at state colleges and universities, plus free tuition at the best trade schools.

4/ Do you think they would reject you, or do you think they would vote for you? Time and bandwidth now to spend with their families, an absence of chronic economic despair, and the space to live the lives they most want to live. How can it be bad politics to treat people well?

I'm wondering if we can #cancelutilitydebt by executive order/action. If yes, I'm in favor of this before we #CancelStudentDebt Both are good, but we all use utilities. We don't all go to college.

Canceling the debt is awesome. We need a plan to move forward also. What happens to the debt that incoming college students create to get their degrees? We need to address the costs of college, too.

Establishment Democrats are moderate Republicans who don't want to offend their more conservative family

Do you really think that's what the problem is? That they "fail to realize" how beneficial this would be? I mean, you're WAY to smart to post this.

Pretty sure Biden addressed this very thing yesterday or day B4. He plans on enacting student debt relief policy as soon as he takes ofc.
