Why do people act like student loan debt forgiveness and reparations are at odds with each other? You can be for both. Student loan forgiveness will help out a lot of Black Millennials.
Because the internet militants are more focused on weakening white wealth, which is a futile effort considering the stranglehold and head start they have.

Your view is a widely held one among most people who think about the subject.
people who disagree are siding with the likes of John Bolton ( who remains a major outlier despite his current position)

Some form of what Warren pledged today was advocated for by people like George Shultz and Henry Kissinger for example. Not exactly the bleeding heart liberals people seem to be equating this position with.

Opinion | George Shultz: We Must Preserve This Nuclear Treaty
people like you ignore history and forget that Nukes kept Russia our of Cuba. Nukes also kept China out of Vietnam. Nukes are the reason there hasn't been a ww3. I hate this country as much as anyone but Nukes are the sole reason we haven't been in a actual war with a world power since ww2.

There hasn’t been a world war because the main parties in the first two have become deeply interdependent both economically and politically. A war between Germany and France isn’t unfathomable because the latter has them, it is because they’ve become allies and the main pillars of a political and economic union.

That the US and Soviet Union came close to a nuclear war over Cuba is not a shining endorsement of the utility of nuclear weapons at all. The US already has a huge military advantage without the threat of weapons it cannot deploy without assuring catastrophic loss. Even then Warren was not advocating for unilateral disarmament.

Your point is retarded. "Let's not help out black borrowers because it will also help out some white people" :heh:fukk outta here.
this is the American centrist talking point against everything that the left proposes. Whether it's loans, healthcare, education, VOTING RIGHTS - it's the same shyt.

You’re reading the room wrong.

This isn’t an anti-establishment wave. People don’t see Trump as the typical government stooge administration. It’s an anti-corruption wave. Stability/sensibility is the key.

That’s why Warren and Bernie are riding Biden so closely.

The problem is that parts of the country hear anything progressive and it becomes easy for Republicans to pick apart with liberal labels.

I disagree. People still want the change they voted for in 2008. Trump tapped into that sentiment and got enough votes to win an election he should've lost against the establishment's darling.

Status quo candidates will not energize the base. People are feeling the crunch and just going back to the way things were Pre-Trump ain't enough.

I don't think that's it. Most of ADOS has little to no student loan debt so it isn't a priority.

Yeah and now it's force fed to the far right who would benefit but are so programmed and hateful.

But yeah, any future Democratic debates need to not be on cable news networks anymore. Host that shyt on the Democratic Youtube channel or something.

CNN might as well have been FOX News tonight. The sheer number of loaded questions:scust:

OR CSPAN it all!
