49.1% of voters age 18-24 years are registered to vote, of those, 39.4% voted in 2016 and 48% in 2020
62.7% of voters age 25-34 years are registered to vote
69.3% of voters age 35-44 years are registered to vote

These two age groups combined (25-44) only 49% voted in 2016 and 55% voted in 2020.

These are the majority of people that still hold outstanding student loans. So, many of those age demographics either are not registered or do not vote. The majority of those who are registered and vote regularly are already committed to one side or the other.

The best way to improve numbers is to get people who are not registered, to register and get those are registered to vote, to actually vote. And Biden wants to encourage uncommitted voters to register and vote for him. So he is bribing the unregistered and the apathetic into voting for him.

This is the bottom line. And, in so doing, he is having the rest of America, many of whom make $65K a year or less, pay for the loans.
Interesting that Trump is currently on trial for a $130,000 pay off to "influence an election" yet Joe Biden is spending billions of taxpayer money in pay offs to influence an election.

I'm the PP you are responding to. The difference is that what Trump did was illegal. What Biden is doing is legal.

Laws have meaning and purpose and as long as they are in place, you have to follow them whether or not the logistics make sense.

Biden is buying votes. It is very much illegal.

No. Those who receive tuition forgiveness are free to vote for whomever they want. There is no requirement that in order receive tuition forgiveness you have to vote for Biden. That would be illegal.

Otherwise you could say that the first found of stimulus checks that Trump sent out during the pandemic were illegal buying of votes. After Congress voted to send out the first round of checks during the pandemic to help those who had lost employment during the shutdowns, Trump put a hold on the payments for several weeks because he wanted the IRS to replace the commissioner's signature on the check with Trump's signature. It was a cost of several hundred thousand dollars to stop the process, change the signature, then resubmit all of the payment checks. Trump wanted to make sure that his signature was on the check. And this happened during the last few months of the 2020 election cycle. That came far closer to trying to buying votes, than what Biden has just done.

But neither is actually vote buying.

Again buying votes which is illegal. You wrote a bunch of things that didn't change the premise.

Yes, buying votes is illegal. But what Biden is doing is not buying votes. Is that simple enough for you?

He pretty much is. KJP says the quiet part out loud.

Doocy: “And I understand that President Biden historically has spoken —”

KJP: “Yeah.”

Doocy: “— very forcefully about anti-Semitism, but this week, he's not. He's MIA. Is he that worried about losing the youth vote with these protesters?”

KJP: “I'm going to be mindful. You're talking about youth vote. You're talking about 2024.”

Doocy: “Support of young people.”

KJP: “No, no, no, no. I — I — I — I have to say what I have to say and just give me a second. Uh, so, I'm not going to speak about....and I — I'll speak more broadly. I can't speak to youth people, youth and support and voters. That's not something I can do from here. Uh, the President has taken a lot of policy actions here that he knows that young people care about and a lot of those actions are popular with those young folks, whether it's giving a little bit of breathing room with student debt relief — so we made announcement today, matter of fact, and we are going to continue to do that, because we think it's important as families or as an American and you coming out of college and you wanna build a family by home — uh — you have the opportunity to do that and not be crushed by student debt. The President understands how important it is to deal with that issue. Climate change — something that young people really truly care about. One of the crises that the President said he came into having to deal with was the climate change crisis. This is a President that has taken more — has taken aggressive, aggressive action to deal with climate crisis. You know, look, I can't speak to — um — I can't speak to youth voters or their support, but we're going to do continue to take actions that we believe helps all Americans and all communities.”
