Fucking hate the Imperialist Democratic Party, and think there's basically no chance they'll actually pass meaningful student debt relief under Biden.
But a universal vanquishing of the first $50,000 held in student debt by graduates will meaningfully improve the conditions of tens of millions of Americans; for both graduates, and those who did never attended a post-secondary institution alike.
57% of Americans support "forgiving up to $50,000 in student loans for individuals who live in households that make less than $250,000 a year", including a majority of those who never attended a College.
This just seems rich considering Chapo often mocked liberals who were incapable of admitting that Trump can do good things at times, and now they may fall into the same trap of opposing on instinct everything coming from the Biden camp.
Actually people should keep suffering, because stopping it with the stroke of a pen would alienate the working class
It's alienating if you abandon them.
If you find another way to help them then they feel noticed, they feel like their needs are being addressed, they are more content with government, and they don't turn into rabid fascists.
But honestly I feel like matt is just taking a cheap contrarian shot.
Well, that's the thing: Both parties are pretty much abandoning them. One side gives lip service, but then does nearly jack (and blames the other side or log-jamming for doing nothing) while the other had (has) open contempt for them.
We'll see if this actually happens in the 100 days they say they want to do it in. But I don't blame Matt for being contrarian about it given past track-records.
