Based on the total votes per candidate of in that state . If a state is majority Blue or red the college will lean that way so yes voting matters .
Biden doesn't want to fight for 50,000 student loan relief. It's too hard

The ol passive aggressive disclaimer huh... same approach you had with your original question that you did your research on and already had the answer to... Let you tell it... But to your point bruh I didn't know nor did I care to know the % because that's irrelevant to any reason as to why I support the idea of student loan forgiveness... To me this is not a Black or white issue or an issue of political alignment, it's a pretty basic concept... I said this in my earlier post "people choose not to see the economic impact it has on not just the country, but more specifically for Black people/economics..."
My advice to my kids, with or without college, make sure you continue to educate yourself, embrace critical thinking, align yourself to more than one cause, because it's some dumbass people out here who fall for anything, are narrow-minded and will try to bring you down...
Bruh let's not reach... I was VERY specific in what I was referring to in regards to the right-wing talking point... If you chose to overlook that then it just validates why this is a dead end conversation for me... Basically your stance is it won't benefit you directly, so you don't support it - acknowledged and I'll move on... I'm not sure what a bummy bitch looking down on a working class man has to do with anything, but I get it gotta make a stretch to make a point... But you got it tho, I'm not up for the back n forth...
When I ask the question of "What has Biden done for Black folks?" The only thing that I read/hear is this Student Loan Forgiveness plan. Now lets take your numbers above. Why jump for joy over a plan that is giving $1,300 billion to white folks and $400 billion to us? What is the equity in that? And that is assuming that all things are equal such as the income restrictions, who submits the paperwork, who is approved, etc etc. Instead of a program in which other people are receiving 77% of the benefit, what is your resistance to demanding assistance specifically for us?
Before any of you complain about demanding money specifically for us, please see the money that our government is currently giving to other groups that demand it:

During the past three fiscal years, $4.1 billion in federal money from taxpayers has flowed to LGBT initiatives in the United States.
The Department of Homeland Security announced last week that it had allocated $454.5 million this fiscal year toward the Nonprofit Security Grant Program, which funds security enhancements at houses of worship and religious organizations.
Jewish organizations have historically championed the program, which began in 2005 with an allocation of $25 million and has since grown exponentially. Most of the funding has historically gone to Jewish institutions such as synagogues, day schools, and other religious organizations — a trend that continued this year, according to the Orthodox Union.
The funds are available to all denominations facing credible threats, and in recent years Muslim and Black Christian institutions have applied for funds, often with the guidance of Jewish groups more experienced in the application process.
The United States enjoys cordially friendly and strategic relations with independent Ukraine and attaches great importance to the success of Ukraine's transition to a democracy with a flourishing market economy.
Israel's close friendship with the United States has been a linchpin of its foreign policy since the establishment of the state.Aid to Isreal to continue genocide in middle east- 18 billion since October 7th

Look at those numbers...the demand for reparations is 20 trillion.
I guess you don't realize that the electoral college doesn't have to listen to the popular vote of the state (people). There is nothing to make them do that.
They can still vote how they feel like voting.
This is why all the presidents of the past 60 years have been related to each other including Donald Trump.
If you're not family you're not becoming president.
The receipt of proof :
There is no Constitutional provision or federal law that requires electors to vote according to the results of the popular votes in their respective states. However, there are twenty-nine states, including Alabama, which do have laws binding their electors to vote according to the popular vote results.

I'm prepping to write a large check and just get it over with.
Sucks cause that money could have funded my scholarship fund.
Dem had every opportunity to do it, had President House and Senate.
They don’t have to, but they do. Do you have evidence of them not following the popular vote of their state?
There is nothing that makes other branches of government follow the opinions of the Supreme Court either. The Supreme Court does not have an army to make them do that. In Marbury versus Madison, there was an opinion relating to judicial review. Ever since then other branches of government, have subjected themselves to opinions from the Supreme Court. There’s nothing to make them do that.
100% agreed....
Also, just to be clear, people that got their loans forgiven were already paying them. No one that wasn't paying their student loans got any sort of forgiveness....Some people were at the point of paying the interest amount that had accrued and paid off the principal.....
For anyone looking to see research on how student loan forgiveness benefits black students, there is tons of research out there....
If you want to look at this report that I specificially participated in (among others), you can review it here. It's about 22 pages, but gives some insights from black alumni...
So the loans that are in forbearance go back to being due when Biden leaves office?
Then they voted for trump
Your Student Loan Payments May Go Up In 2025 As Loan Forgiveness Paths Narrow
With mass student debt cancellation initiatives effectively dead on arrival once Trump is sworn in again, the question for many borrowers will largely be what repayment plans will look like. The SAVE plan, a new income-driven repayment program that provided borrowers with lower monthly payments and an interest subsidy, appears destined for elimination — either by the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals in an expected ruling that could be issued at any time, or by a Trump administration repeal (SAVE was established by the Biden administration without direct involvement by Congress, and can be repealed via the same process).

What Happens to Student Loans If Trump Shuts Down the Education Department?
The department provides roughly 10% of K-12 funding and enforces federal civil rights in schools. However, it plays a much larger role in financing higher education. Managing approximately $1.5 trillion in student loan debt for over 40 million borrowers, the Education Department represents one of the largest holders of consumer debt in the country.

I’ve been played by chicks in my life. I have had chicks who disappeared for years (years) try to weasel back into my life as if they didn’t just up and fall off the face of the planet. If you have been ever been played, you would have seen the Democratic “I would fuck you, but I’m on my period” routine from a mile away. The guy is a senator from Delaware. For half of a century. The Democratic Party isn’t interested in raising the minimum wage. The Democratic Party is not interesting in fixing the Immigration problem. The pussy didn’t even want to give the entire stimmy check as if folks didn’t vote for him for their check. And ducked the fade at the last minute and tossed the black goof in to protect his win/loss record.

I’ve been trying to get more information about her to see what her policies are related to education.
This is wild
There are some mentions in the article.. a few things I wasn't aware of, good and bad imo
Yeah this was very informative.
This stood out “ She is a strong proponent of expanding the Pell Grant, which is reserved for low-income students, to short-term workforce training programs. And she has expressed an interest in ensuring higher education and the workforce are more aligned.”
She will be as bad as his last one
Make America great again by going back to when people worked factory jobs straight out of high school with little upward mobility. Career worker bees.
Definitely those White House initiatives are GONEGuess which offices will be chopped off first?

I'm hoping that they'll be groups that will challenge the Trump administration policies in court just like Biden's regularly were which can hold off whatever they're attempting at least until the mid terms or as close as possible to that time.
Not with honkeys on the loose! I don't think niggas realize how much money is behind this heritage foundation bullshit.
