Exactly , rather than only forgiving existing loans that should make education free and also forgive existing loans , and perhaps give people who have already paid off their loan some kind of stimulus check as a kind of recognition that their struggle was just as hard as everyone else's and they deserve a break too.

What about those of us that didn't go outright because we couldn't afford it nor get the loans?

... I'd still be more than happy if education was made free, but there are A LOT of people the system has fucked and Democrats barely even want to glance at the lowest hanging fruit.

Isn't the lowest hanging fruit exactly what they're targeting, i.e. the people who currently have loans, and the higher hanging fruit all the other circumstances people are mentioning here like already paid off their loans or future student who will get loans or in your case people who forewent becoming a student due to the loans?

Again. No one who is for student loan forgiveness is outright against assistance for low wage earners. They are not linked. If its who gets the bite at the apple first than do every thing you can to remove the GOP from power.

"They are not linked", exactly, they're choosing to leave some people behind.

They are not chosing anything. They are politically cornered.

Keep buying the excuses while you're given crumbs. It really makes it look like you understand just how little you're being offered...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It isn't an excuse. It's plain as day that the Republicans will do nothing on both matters and they keep getting elected.

Yea, keep wondering why while pretending Democrats aren't still a lesser evil. Notice how "lesser evil" is still evil. It doesn't matter how much you screech about which is better. Some don't like voting for anything evil.

Ignore a basic fact of reality at your own peril.

Scare tactics. Nice. Glad we have devolved. Means the debate is most likely over.

I'm not scaring you to do anything but realize you have no saviors to choose from. Do not view the Dems as a WIN, but as merely staving off destruction.

Pretending we are in any kind of good shape is pure foolishness.

Kinda like chosing the lesser of two evils? Would you say?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Pretending the lesser evil is a good choice is pure stupidity. Do better.
