    I don’t have any medical debt at the moment, and I think there are probably some better long-term things we could spend our extremely valuable and limited political capital on, so naturally I strongly support this because I’m not a fucking inhuman monster.

    Okay, but just like student debt, it doesn’t fix the actual problem. Bailing water out of a ship doesn’t do much compared to fixing the fucking hole in the hull.

      I love how, whenever centrists kill some progressive policy, centrists are like “don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good,” but let a progressive suggest actual incremental change toward something centrists don’t want to do, and suddenly centrists want immediate perfection.
