Clinton, Biden, Sanders, and many others had platforms of mass free college education of one kind or another. At least some localities have free community college.
Biden, the only one elected nationally, proposed it to Congress but it was killed off by the GOP. Someone I was taking to at the time laughed about it and said to me, 'no way was I going to pay for the blacks to go to college!' (they were elderly and white). A shocking, revelatory moment for me. Sample size of 1 in that case, but that's widely theorized to be the basis of conservative rejection of providing any such benefits to Americans.
- School-Cotton 4y agoA platform is not a realistic attempt. In particular, something that can easily be “killed off by the GOP” is not a realistic attempt, given that the GOP exists.
- wolverine876 4y agoYes, I agree to a great degree: It depends on Biden's priorities, to fight for it or to trade it away. But the idea that nobody is working on it is a great exaggeration.
