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?

That's just NOT going to happen. That money is owed to the banks. This govt will not take money from banks, who contribute highly to both parties. Just not going to happen - not in my lifetime.

We should cancel student loan debt for the same reason we should have ubi, m4a, and pay reparations. Even if you don’t have loan debt we should still be fighting for ANY downwardly redistributive policy we can achieve because at the end of the day it will help people in need
