Young Americans are piling the blame for their student debt balances on conservatives, according to a poll by Generation Lab.

47% said the Supreme Court was responsible.
38% said the Republicans were responsible.
10% said Biden was responsible.
5% said Democrats were responsible.

As opposed to blaming somebody who has nothing to do with it?

Darn those zoomers always blaming the correct people!

To be fair, Americans of all ages frequently blame the incorrect people, so this is a pleasant surprise.

I was expecting to see a lot of "Biden promised debt relief but WHERE IS IT?!?"

True, and most of those people are Gen X (my age) or boomers (even older)

It's definitely a good trend in the right direction, and hopefully it rubs off on the rest of us before it's too late

These millennials and zoomers are really destroying the false narrative industry!

In this timeline somehow heavily conservative states grow the more they attack progressive platforms and not just with conservatives but with very liberal people too. So anything could happen, there's a gay Republican organization and they support a party that wants to kill them. Nothing makes sense.

I mean, 5% said Democrats and 10% said Biden were responsible.

I wonder if there were coherent arguments for that position, other than either the "they are at fault for everything!" arguments, or "they didn't push HARD enough!"
