“Marceline for OMB! She been carrying Democratic water here just for the love. I say its about time that loyalty is rewarded.”

I don’t believe they were meant to be palatable to the right. The cynic in me thinks they were all sacrificial lambs, save LLoyd Austin. Biden can signal to his base that he’s all about “diversity” and “unity”. Liberals, who only care about representation, not policy or a person’s record, can feel good that “progress”…

Sometimes people do the right thing for the wrong reason. I’m not complaining.

Then that kills your whole argument right there. Colleges will never lower their rates under any condition unless forced to do so. And only the federal government has the power to make that happen. So, again, if the federal government forces them to lower tuition as you have rightly suggested would have to happen,…

You’re contradicting your own argument. You said the solution is lowering college tuition costs. Is that possible or not? If the answer is yes, then that solution has no bearing on loan forgiveness for people who already attended college and took out loans. If, by whatever means you are suggesting, college tuition is…

You don’t have to explain the ills of capitalism to me. True, I don’t know any rich people. Fraud by rich people gaming the system is still a weak argument against policy that will disproportionally help poor people. Rich people are always going the game the system because they make the rules.

Public school funding is largely based on property taxes. Property taxes are based on arbitrary home values. The same home from a neighborhood with a higher percentage of non-white residents will be worth more in an all-white or near-all-white neighborhood. This is why white kids from lower income brackets have better…

Why not do both?

How many rich people do you know who have taken out student loans, let alone have student loan debt? That’s a weak argument.

Reinstating people’s debt would be wildly unpopular and all but guarantee an electoral defeat. Just Imagine.

Last I checked opposition to M4A was bipartisan. Biden himself stated he would veto it if it came across his desk, even during a pandemic.

Maybe you should stop voting Dem (assuming you still do). Wishful thinking does nothing if you continue voting against your own interests.

Being uninformed is not necessarily a product of white privilege. The overwhelming majority of Americans are not just uninformed, but misinformed. Corporate liberal media hardly if ever reported on Obama’s many failings and misdeeds because he’s on their team and he was a faithful steward of empire. Trump is not so…

Larry Hogan killed the Red Line in Baltimore, a project literally decades in the making, which would have linked low income Black people in Baltimore with better housing and job opportunities in other areas. Larry Hogan is a piece of shit. A supposed “good Republican” who ,in any other state he would be just a…

Obama didn’t roll back shit. Militarization and federal funding for police increased under Obama. Tracked vehicle were simply replaced with wheeled ones; a clever and cynical work around. And let’s not forget the Blue Alert law he signed into law to “protect” police officers. Black people really need to look beyond…

The corporate morons already have their own party, the Democrats. If anything, progressives need to leave and form a party with leftists.

The GOP denies climate change but the Dems only cynically pay lip service to it. Which, in my opinion, is worse. Both parties do absolutely nothing about climate change but one pretends to care while undermining any hope of slowing it.

Neoliberal imperialism, but from a Black female perspective. Gotta love it!

Dominicans eat arroz con habichuelas. It is a staple in DR, not the only staple, but a staple nonetheless.

Debt-free means you pay nothing. Everything is free (tuition, fees, books, etc.). Tuition-free means only tuition is free but you still pay for books and other fees. Fees and book prices will undoubtedly be jacked up under this scenario.
