@Vinsama I don't think that logic works too well tbh

Student loans are good debt to have. For AOC it's probably her oldest credit account and paying on time each month benefits her credit score. Paying these loans off when you're in good standing with your loans can drop your score significantly and there's not much reason to do it.

She's also always been on a progressive platform and student loan forgiveness has been core to progressivism for years now. She might be able to pay that debt and be okay and not need forgiveness for herself, but is there really an issue with her pushing to benefit the millions of Americans who are in significant debt that they will never be able to pay back?
