The thing about student loan debt relief is that, while other policies would be more economically progressive, it fairly efficiently redistributes well-being toward people in the Democratic coalition. Youngish, middle-class-ish college/grad school attendees = a *very* D group. — PolitiTweet.org

@DinoStraciatela Maybe in the short run, but in the long run, political parties benefit from "locking in" certain interest groups, and this is the sort of substantively important win for D-aligned voters that could help keep them locked in. That's the theory, anyway. — PolitiTweet.org
