Democrats could rinse and repeat this political strategy to multiple white house victories. Create policy that benefits common people while showing republicans as desperate to a holes that want to stop the help at any cost.
Has this actually helped Biden win support? Because it seems like the same people benefiting from his policies are vocally trashing him
Not really, because it doesn't impact ALL borrowers. So the "leaning right" to far right people don't like it, and the far left people don't think it's enough, and the "leaning left" people either already support Biden or are among the borrowers that aren't included in this loan forgiveness. My girlfriend is pissed because she doesn't get any loan forgiveness even though it will take her 30 years to pay off at her current salary.
I personally wish he would just say 'vote for me and I'll cancel your loans' or something.
Why do only Republicans play dirty?
This has been shown to work very well in developing countries.
That may be, but if the military is that subsidized, why not some of the normal folk?
That would be a really good idea if Democrats actually wanted to help people and weren't just pandering.
