The Education Gap in Presidential Politics

[rightwinger]

And what did she accomplish with her grear negotiating skills? 10 million more illegals migrants, costs have skyrocketed, the military has weakened, and the last point about humanitarian support is ridiculous.


Why focus on irrelevant roles, rather than not only his success building a business empire and creating hundreds of thousands of jobs - but his PROVEN successes as president in the very categories you “credit” (lol) the DEI pick with - immigration, trade, military, and humanitarian support.

Anyone who thinks Harris is superior to Trump is either a brainwashed idiot, or a government retiree. Or both.

How does THIS qualify someone to be President?

 

[westwall]

Harris negotiated with world leaders on immigration, trade, military and humanitarian support

How did Trumps time as a Reality TV Host and Wrestling supporter qualify him as President?

So, she yapped, but actually DID nothing.

Sounds like the shrilary.

The stark disparaity in voting proclivities among states by academic attainment is irrefutable.

All other factors aside, the pattern will largely persist in November.

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

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.​

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

Just how "educated" do you need to be when the Biden/Harris economic policies just cost the average American family an extra $40,000 dollars out of pocket over the last 3 1/2 years? It doesn't take a PhD to know that isn't sustainable! The Middle Class can't afford four more years of progressive policy.

I state the empirical reality, and make no qualitative distinction.

You are free to adhere to whatever ideological dogma suits you and project it onto others.

And if you were as smart as you like to think you are, you would realize that fits along with the demographics of the New Democrat Party: the educated elites who aren’t impacted by the liberals’ dangerous policies go with the Dems, and the high school educated working class is struggling every time they go to the grocery store or gas station, or open their electric bill, go with Republicans.

 

[schmidlap]

Don't think I didn't notice that you left California off that list, Schmidlap!

California, like the 29 other states I omitted, is not among the antipodal ten in either extreme.

You are free to cast aspersions upon higher education and those who attain it if that suits your ideological agenda, of course.

 

[Lisa558]

I did not cast dispersions on those of us with high educational attainment, as I am among them.

I simply pointed out the obvious: the reason more of the well-educated vote Dem is because they earn enough to buy their way out of the consequences of their liberal vote. My neighbors, for example, in our neighborhood of $1 million townhomes, are not worried about the influx of illegal aliens into the public school system since they send their children to private.

The lesser educated, otoh, have working class jobs - and are forced to keep their kids in the deteriorating public schools. They also see how the Dems spend money on their favorite “groups” - like college-educated professionals getting loans forgiven - while they themselves struggle to buy groceries and fill the gas tank.

Now if you want to make some disdainful remark about high school grads, go ahead. They know you liberal elites view them with contempt.

You know, Schmidlap? I grew up in Massachusetts. Great public schools back then. Great colleges too. I got a better education than I would have if I'd grown up most other places. These days? Things aren't what they used to be. The public schools there aren't that good. Colleges there teach woke, DEI nonsense from faculties that exist in their own little world. From what I'm seeing? Right now it's a race to the bottom and your "well educated" States are catching up fast!

Yup. The college-educated know all about our racist beginnings, how horrible our country is to blacks, that Israel is the great “oppressor,” that Palestinians are all innocent victims, that there are 57 genders, that money should be redistributed from productive workers to those who won’t get jobs….but they can’t do basic math, write a grammatically correct sentence, tell you in which century the Civil War happened, or what we are commemorating on Memorial Day.

The high school grads of the 1970s knew more than the recent college grads of today, and the 9th graders in the 1940s knew more than the high school grads of the 70s. At this rate, our college grads will be equivalent to an 8th grader in the 1920s.

 

[M14 Shooter]

The obvious point to be made:
Education and intelligence are not synonymous.

Your concocting an ideological explanation for the striking correspondence of a state's educational attainment and its political orientation is taken for what it's worth.

Again, I merely observe the empirical data without fashioning any such rationales.

Yeah, sure, "underwater basket weaving' isn't a great degree, but hey, you too can generate 120,000 in debt for a degree that pays 25,000.

Sounds real smart. About as smart as you.
