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?

Because they don’t care about people, they care about corporations.

A lot of appreciation & loyalty would be lost by banks & financial institutions that do private loans, sadly. Also, private colleges would be unhappy as they now have to fight with the government regarding tuition. Of course it should be done anyway, fuck those institutions.

They still wouldn’t deserve loyalty or appreciation. They deserve nothing. It is their JOB to represent the people and policy they’ve desperately needed for far too long. They have abandoned that job for profit & power. If they do cancel all student debt, they don’t get a medal

It would set a dangerous precedent: tax dollars can be used to help citizens.

It just goes to show you who they’re actually working for, and it ain’t the people who need that kind of help sadly.
