In reply to the discussion: Most Americans Don't Want Biden or Trump to Run Again: Poll [View all]Farmer-Rick
(12,858 posts)An online poll is usually pretty useless. Newsweek has turned to the dark side and can't be trusted.
OK, that said, Dems have got to do more.
Biden has the power to guarantee that 42 million Americans vote for him. (that's my figures based on actual voters and student loan holders) By forgiving student loan interest, then promising more higher education assistance, it will gurantee Dems those 42 million votes.
He has said he would help students but he really hasn't done much. Mostly Congress has been doing the heavy lifting which has now been stopped because GOPers are afraid they will lose their crazy vote.
What I'm saying is yeah he got voted in by saying he was going to forgive some student debt but he still hasn't done anything substantial. Now, the student loan holders (1 in 5 Americans) don't believe him anymore. He has got to do something showy and that something has to be big if he wants those student loan holders to vote for him again.
If Trump or GOPers thought they could win the elections by forgiving student debt, they would do it without a 2nd thought. The GOP did do it for campaign contributions and influence from the filthy rich with the huge tax cuts. They bought the filthy rich's influence and contributions by forgiving them their taxes.
I guarantee you the next GOPer to win an election for president will offer student loan forgiveness. If the Dems don't do it now, the GOPers will. They will use it as a campaign promise and they will get 42 million votes out of it. The Dems need to pull that rug out from under Trump and GOPers by getting Biden to go big and forgive student loan interest. If they don't, they are going to lose a big block of voters.
