I would never talk about Warren's supporters this way. Young people who are desperate for relief from unprecedented loan burdens are not a "cult." They are 1 group of many that Bernie has committed his life to helping. You can't expect to win if you don't respect voters.https://twitter.com/girlsreallyrule/status/1143208672463659008 …

The tweet is also grossly ill-informed. Bernie’s debt relief plan costs $1.6Trillion. Warren’s costs 1.25T. Bernie didn’t “double” her plan. His plan, uniquely financed by Wall St speculation, is larger because it covers all student debt. And with good reason.

Bernie understands that means tested policies like Warren’s tend to crumble under political pressure from right wingers (& moderates) who attack them as going to “undeserving” people who don’t work hard enough. Think food stamps, section 8, and “welfare.”

By contrast, policies like Social Security have real staying power becuase all Americans are bought in. Universal policies create strong coalitions which benefit us all. You cant just have a plan for policy. You need a plan to enact and preserve it. #CancelStudentDebt
