The Education Gap in Presidential Politics

[schmidlap]

And yet Demoturds do it all the time. Just to pander to small special interests and sexual freaks.

Are you parroting what you have been told, or acknowledging the diverse appeal of the Democratic Party beyond less-educated, older White guys?

 

[HikerGuy83]

The cult rages at empirical data that contradicts their baseless dogma.

Already addressed your empirical data and stated my case.

If you want to counter, be my guest.

Otherwise, I'll take your stupid statement as meaning you have no counter.

Thanks for playing.

You clearly can concoct nothing to contradict the demographic data that I have cited.

I already provided it.

Nope. All lowlife scum.your party anders to. Republicans represent real, patriotic Americans.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

You are welcome to the second-last word if you insist on having it.

No responsible political campaign ignores demographic profiles of voters. That would be woefully irresponsible.

Where are the figures for college attendees for Blacks and Hispanics?

There are an infinite number of demographic surveys possible.

If those you cite are among your personal interests, they are not among the pertinent ones that I have noted (below), but you can pursue those and others if you wish.

Show the breakdown in voting patterns for Black and Hispanic voters in regard to college educated and non-college educated, please.

Your whole attempt to posit yourself as intelligent based upon your political identity falls apart when you factor in blacks and hispanics. Uneducated Blacks vote OVERWHELMINGLY for Democrats.

Please do if that is what is of interest to you.

I make no attempt to posit myself as anything.

I objectively note pertinent demographic disparities that are indicated by credible surveys.

This references one of several:

Harris leads Trump by 31 points among young voters​

Here is another:

Kamala Harris Has 21-Point Lead Over Donald Trump Among Women

And another:

Harris leads Trump by almost 40 points among Asian American voters


If you have conflicting data concerning any factor, please cite it.

[Mr. Friscus]

Between White Americans who support Harris or Trump, the disparity in college education is an even more significant factor than age or gender.

The disparity is reflected in the allocation of the electoral votes of states.

The Most and Least Educated States in America, Ranked

Though much debate exists around the education system in the U.S., one thing is for sure: The future of the country lies in our youth, and our ability to educate them.

Of course, age and gender are also major demographic factors.

Harris is trouncing Trump among young voters in the latest polls​

A USA Today/Suffolk University poll released Thursday found young people swung a massive 24 points between June and August, from favoring Trump over President Biden by 11 points to picking Harris over Trump by 13 points.​

More Voters, Especially Women, Now Say Abortion Is Their Top Issue​

Trump is shifting his stance on reproductive rights, but voters, by a wide margin, say that they trust Kamala Harris on the issue.​

“Educated” in what?

We’ve seen that Some university education makes young adults significantly dumber, less practical, and less rational/wise. The “Uneducated” working public is often more sensible as far as societal interests.

This sounds like a gated-community, ivory tower Clinton/Biden Democrat crapping on lower class people.. while trying to say they support them. LOL

Just say lower/middle class people are inferior. We know it’s what you mean.

I have neither questioned any American's right to vote, nor the equality of their votes. (Unlike the fake hillbilly who thinks breeders' votes should count for more.) Nor have I commented upon the relative qualifications for knowledgeably voting.

The stark disparity between the best-educated states and least-educated states is an objective reality - without needing to be judgmental.

America is not divided Red State Blue State. It is divided Red County Blue Cities. Look at any voting map distribution and you will see a sea of red with small dense pockets of blue in the major cities. Democrats love to cluster in large cities because that's where they have the best access to government benefits and assistance. There is no "education gap" as there are highly educated people who vote GOP as well as DEM.

And finally, you are dismissing people who are not "educated" as not being smart which is totally wrong and arrogant. Some of the smartest and best people I know are not highly "educated" and I know plenty of dumbasses with college degrees.

Why do you need to resort to such a blatant falsehood? I have never expressed any such thing. I have maligned neither the college educated nor the non-college educated voter - just as I make no qualitative distinction in the disparate voting patterns of women vs men, young vs old, Jew vs Christian, etc.

It is true that small college towns are often an oasis of blue in a sea of red, but that is not among the demographics I noted. e.g.,

You use a questionable single source "report" to feed into the narrative that Red States are full of knuckle dragging Hillbillies and Blue States are full of academic scholars which is total nonsense. You're busted!

So, you cannot cite where I have ever suggested what you falsely accuse me of, and so put your words in my mouth?

That's quite pathetic.

 

[San Souci]

Thank you, that's beautiful.

So if you all cheat to win again, we have the workmen, the truckers, the farmers, and all the skilled workers.

You have the gender studies professors.

That'll work out great for you, yes?

Good point. Has any of those Ivy League Professors ever RUN a business? Or done any useful work?

 

[GMCGeneral]

Good point. Has any of those Ivy League Professors ever RUN a business? Or done any useful work?

And therein lies the rub. Most of these professors have no real world experience. Everything they spew comes from books and their false sense of self worth. Reminds me of the scene from the 1986 Rodney Dangerfield movie "Back to School" where Thornton Melon is in an economics class being taught by a stuffed shirt professor just spouting theories, whereas Melon has been a highly successful businessman and has the real world experience. (I posted a thread on that very subject some time ago}.

Many have. Don't be bitter.

 

[Unkotare]

Stupid assumption, and a weak basis for an argument.

Maybe if you didn't try so hard to be an asshole...

I have not attempted to emulate you, and you can assume that I am loathe to challenge your prowess in that regard.
