The criticisms of a student jubilee that take the form of "here's a better plan that could be enacted in an alternate universe where Democratic majorities were allowed to govern" are just abjectly useless

If your proposal is better than student debt relief but it can't be enacted, it's irrelevant. If a student debt relief can be done without preventing any other good thing from happening, then it's still worth doing. Biden needs to use every stimulus lever he has

Comparing things that can be done to theoretically better things that can't be done to argue that you shouldn't do the former is a great way of proceeding, if you think the Carter administration was a smashing success

Also, if Republicans want to make "remember when Joe Biden made the lives of tens of millions of people, including many middle class white people, much better" an issue I
am happy to fight on that terrain
