    Because Republicans will fight so that the rich can get richer by getting handed free money, and Republican will fight so that the working class has to pay back every cent.

      Please remember that the Dems are doing this too. Neither party is our friend here.

        The opposite is the truth. If Republicans were as supportive of student debt reform as Democrats were, we would have a major reform bill of some form passed and signed. Maybe it wouldn’t be cancellation, but interest free student loans would probably be a thing.

        Democrats may disagree and aren’t universally behind cancellation, but didn’t have enough votes by themselves anyways to make anything happen. Biden tried to enact his personal proposal through executive order, but that got shut down by Republican justices.

        So. No. It’s not a both parties thing. It’s one sided. And if you aren’t willing to tell the truth about that, then I have to wonder about your motivations and what you seek to do.

          Dems aren’t your friends but the GOP is fascist and we don’t vote for fascists ever. So slag off with the slander.

          You can work with people who aren’t your friends towards some goals. You can’t ever work with fascists who want you dead.
