Dan Aykroyd and John Landis added a touch of social commentary to the Blues Brothers movie, in the screenplay they co-penned, with the hilarious Illinois Nazi scene.
Debt forgiveness excites Democrats’ hard left base, but this is a stone cold loser issue in terms of changing electoral reality. Those excited the most are in no way swing voters, Democrats already have them. Republicans can score major points among blue collars and among the suburban voters who “paid their dues” for higher education in a variety of ways. Bring it on.
Parties often put tactical focus on turnout, and a vote-buy would be about turnout, not about flipping swing voters. I wholeheartedly agree that the targeted recipients are already largely true-blue, but the Dems are left with hail Mary passes as their electoral strategy ahead of the midterms, utterly recalcitrant as they are in considering policy changes.
As I noted, it's likely not going to save them, but this could also be part of their "fire sale."
