Next step: several states are making progress on free community college or even two years at public universities. Hopefully we can do something at the federal level too, so everyone can get two years of college debt free
In my experience, when something happens at the state level such as cannabis legalization, increased minimum wage, legal abortion, etc., we see a “got mine, fuck you” attitude from the Blue State Eloi that get the benefit toward the Red State Morlocks that don’t. Why would an Eloi State senator stick his neck out to get a benefit his constituents already have for some contemptible flyover Morlock? Advances for blue states make nationwide advances less likely, and nationwide advances are the only hope anyone in a red state has.
Gone are the days when we can do something like we did with gay marriage when the states can do the right thing and get the Supreme Court to equalize the right thing nationwide by applying the 14th Amendment.
