It isn't hard for Maxwell Alejandro Frost to name political moments throughout his childhood that have stuck with him.
"Turning on the TV and seeing a bunch of people sleeping outside of Wall Street talking about something called 'wealth inequality' – seeing that in elementary school," Frost said.
"Growing up learning that 30 minutes away from me, a kid that looked like me who was wearing a hoodie was murdered for being Black, Trayvon Martin, and seeing the outrage after that," he added.
I see, we have male AOC
For Frost, his roots are in organizing, working as an activist since the Sandy Hook massacre in 2012 and most recently serving as the national organizing director for March For Our Lives, a youth-led group advocating for increased gun control policy. He's also a survivor of a separate incident of gun violence.
Ooohhh, what was this “separate incident”?
"The cynics kind of say, oh, he's too young, he's too untried, maybe if he were to spend, a few terms in Jeff[erson] City, maybe then he'll be ready to run for Congress. Which is really just political talk for let's get him in our system. Let's teach him how to play the game our way. And then if we say he's ready, he can run for a higher office," Reed said.
No, it’s the kind way of saying you’re too fucking stupid for the job?
Both Reed and Frost are progressives, honing in on issues like curbing gun violence, passing the Green New Deal and canceling student debt.
Ah so people raised on your stupid fear mongering are now cute little woke zombies
Frost and Reed's drive makes sense to Amanda Litman, a Millennial and the CEO of Run for Something, an organization that supports first-time Democratic candidates.
This is a good strategy to make student loans go the way of the dodo. Nobody's going to loan you money if you've announced in advance that you're trying to get the government to legalize defaulting on the loan.
Then you'll start complaining that only rich people can afford college.
Worse, much worse. When they say "canceling debt" what they actually mean is "you pay it off for them; get on it, taxpayer."
It's just more market interventionism, unearned money, stolen money, taxpayer waste, and perverse incentives to set up systems to take even more from you.
The vast majority of student debt holders are leftists. Canceling student debt would be a massive giveaway to leftists. For that reason alone, it should never happen.
