Gentle reminder that this is against the guidelines, it comes across somewhat as sneering and dismissive (which i don’t think was the intent, but is there none the less).
I have read the guide, although i appreciate reaffirming it as the source of truth. What’s hard is from a glance at the posters history their comments don’t seem to break the guidelines, but instead fall into the camp of spirited (albeit strongly so) opinions. Are there specific comments made that weren’t in the spirit of the guidelines? It feels “primarily for ideological purposes” is hard to counter in a discussion because “ideological” itself is a murky term at best.
I understand that this sort of thing can be taken as "inflammatory", but if you're one of these groups, your _existence is political and flamebaity_; You can't escape it. That's why people are bringing it up, because they're the ones that have to live with the consequences.
You haven’t engaged me with research or data once, you just keep concern trolling. Please try to at least use something quantitative to backup your arguments
Because that’s just forces colleges to accept rich white kids who will be the less risky in regards to paying off their loans. Guys, y’all are supposed to be smart, really? You all can’t see through this bullshit?

Pardon, this was deeper linked, but your previous comments describe the overall forgiveness as a bandaid, or generally not helpful. That is not supported by the research.
We want the same things, but please try to at least engage with me on the data and research. I don’t want the powers that be to crush us any more than you do. I care about people, and from what you’ve written I know you do too, so let’s tackle this the best we can with the information we have. I’m not trying to trick you, really
Reposting so others don’t feed into this propaganda. The talking point that loan forgiveness would “raise taxes” is at best dubious. Here is one, of many studies that dispute it
