yeah I went hunting for poll data last night, and I didn't see any sign that this enraged anyone except the perpetually aggrieved Republican base. It doesn't fix the underlying problems in the US higher ed system and I think people recognize that, but it makes life better for a lot of people, and bolsters the image of Biden as a guy who gets things done.
I mean, the "oof" factor is really high here when Charlie is arguing that this policy isn't playing well with rank-and-file Dem voters and the first examples he reaches for are McArdle, Kraushaar, and The Dispatch.
I saw some of the usual Savvy Anti-Anti Crew really taking this up to eleven by referring to this as "The Republicans' Roe" which strikes me as an absurd example of motivated reasoning but even if it wasn't....pretty telling that "helping some people being strangled by debt" = "stripping bodily autonomy from half the population"
Actual polls say this is popular (see Forbes'). But why listen to them when you can listen to conservative cranks like McCardle and Kraushaar?

I didnтАЩt catch this, but I donтАЩt know whether to laugh or cry in response.
