free community college is already a thing, it's called 'Pell Grants'

republicans don't want to talk about it because it's free money that works, and democrats don't want to talk about it because there's no reason to expand it

Hell, when I went to community college in the early 90’s it was basically free — $6/credit with a $60 cap.

Since then California changed priorities or something, haven’t lived there for almost 25 years so don’t care what they get up to.
