In my third year at the University of Pennsylvania, I took a course called “Who gets elected and why.” It was taught by Ed Rendell, former mayor of Philadelphia, governor of Pennsylvania, and chairman of the Democratic National Committee. As such, Rendell addressed the class as if every student was a registered Democrat. In one class, he taught a particularly interesting lesson — no matter the shortcomings of a nominee, voters should still vote for them because of the greater good of passing a political party’s agenda. It’s a lecture Republicans could’ve used during the 2020 election, especially regarding student loan forgiveness.
