the student loan issue, for instance. I think if you have a good ability to empathize it is not possible to think the status quo is good, or be against some sort of relief for those who currently have student loans.

Some empathy is required to understand, and want to do something about, the plight of anyone in a non-privileged situation. I really think it's that simple.
